ROANOKE, Va. – A TV weatherman was fired after his nude photo was posted on the Internet.

The NBC affiliate WSLS-TV fired meteorologist Jamey Singleton on Thursday after a frontal nude shot of him getting out of the shower was posted on someone else’s MySpace.com site.

The photo broke the morals code in Singleton’s contract, the station’s interim general manager, Shane Moreland, said in a statement.

Singleton, 28, who was retained earlier this year after admitting he was a recovering heroin addict, said he didn’t blame the station.

“What shocks and what offends – that’s really up to them,” Singleton told The Roanoke Times. “I can’t blame them if … after everything that’s happened they said, That’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.’ “

Singleton said the photo was taken a few months ago by a former friend who posted it Tuesday. He said he notified MySpace when he heard it was posted and the picture was removed within an hour, but it had already been e-mailed to several of his co-workers, including Moreland.
