How stupid of FBN to allow Jo Ling Kent to leave, she was one of the most talented on air personalities on FBN, I don't think their business practices was too good after all! What a loss!
Amen
You don’t know why she left FBN maybe it was her decision. You are assuming too much and don’t have all the facts.
