Former ABC Anchor Kendis Gibson Details Racism and Toxic Culture in New Memoir

Gibson alleges workplace discrimination, bullying, and grueling work conditions contributed to his 2018 suicide attempt.

Kendis Gibson, a former ABC News anchor, claims a toxic work environment exacerbated his depression, leading to a suicide attempt in 2018.
Gibson describes experiences of covert racism, including being reprimanded for wearing jeans on-air and being told he was 'worth less than toilet paper.'
He alleges retaliation after spearheading a Diversity Task Force, with his appearances on 'Good Morning America' dropping sharply afterward.
Gibson recounts his struggles with mental health, including reliance on Ambien and alcohol, before seeking therapy and exploring psychedelic treatments.
Now an anchor at PIX11 News in New York, Gibson discusses his journey in his memoir 'Five Trips,' which aims to spark conversations about mental health and alternative healing.
