\u201cEarlier this week I was let go from 7 News,\u201d Pinto tweeted Thursday. \u201cI am posting this because I want to be open and honest with all of you. Last year, I participated in a cameo in the recently released Netflix movie by Adam Sandler, \u2018Hubie Halloween.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Pinto, who joined the station in 2016, said she \u201cmistakenly violated\u201d her contract by doing so, adding that she understood why management had to cut ties with her after four years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply disappointed and saddened, and I hoped this would not be how things evolved,\u201d Pinto tweeted. \u201cThanks to all my wonderful 7 News viewers and my supportive and great colleagues at the station.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Pinto said her reporting job had been an \u201chonor and a privilege\u201d while promising to keep her 13,000 Twitter followers updated on her next career move.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future is bright!\u201d Pinto tweeted.<\/p>\n

In Sandler\u2019s movie, Pinto played a news anchor for a fictional Boston TV station, Channel 4 Morning News, and led its morning show, \u201cWake Up, Boston,\u201d\u00a0Boston.com reported.<\/p>\n

Pinto discusses Salem\u2019s upcoming Halloween festivities during her brief cameo while dressed as DC Comics character Harley Quinn, as well as her colleagues, one of whom is played by Sandler\u2019s wife, Jackie Sandler, according to the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cTracy, you went with Harley Quinn, too?\u201d Pinto\u2019s character asks reporter Tracy Phillips, who was played by Jackie Sandler.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure did, Erin,\u201d Phillips replies. \u201cOnly one day a year to show your ex what he\u2019s missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Management at the station did not return a message seeking comment about Pinto\u2019s firing, Boston.com reported.<\/p>\n
