Holly Morris, a well-known Washington DC TV reporter, bid farewell to FOX 5 DC in 2024 after a remarkable 25-year career. She earned a civil engineering degree from Duke University and began her career at WTTG in 1998. Known for her hands-on reporting and involvement in community events, Morris won numerous awards, including regional Edward R. Murrow and Emmy awards for live reporting.
However, her career wasn’t without challenges. She participated in the 2014 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and revealed the painful details of her 2005 divorce, which stemmed from her husband’s affair and addiction. Despite the turmoil, Morris later found happiness with lawyer Thomas Espy, marrying in 2007.
In 2013, she faced controversy after a live slip-up during President Obama’s second inauguration. Her blunder went viral, but Morris never addressed it publicly. In 2023, a viral YouTube clip showing an unintended wardrobe malfunction sparked further discussion, highlighting the unpredictability of live TV.
