Where Is Cindy Fitzgibbon Now?
If you’ve tuned into WCVB over the past few days, you may be wondering, what happened to Cindy Fitzgibbon? Since people in local television move around alot, did she get hired by someone else or was she fired? Did she have to move? Fans want answers!
As much as these speculations can sometimes be filled with drama an intrigue, the truth is mundane. Fitzgibbon is away due to having surgery on her ankle. Apparently, it’s been an issue since she was a teenager, but it has recently caused her more problems. That’s why she’s been absent from our screens!
Hopeing for a quick recovery. Keep your chin up…and your ankle.

Unfortunately, Fitzgibbon has to stay off her feet for a few weeks, which is why she had to leave the newscast. But, the surgery is not life-threatening, so within a few weeks Cindy Fitzgibbon should be back on air, much to the delight of her fans!
