Coldwell Banker Cuts Ties With Correspondent After 'Homosexual Impulses' Remark About Shooter


Coldwell Banker has apparently decided to part ways with a lifestyle correspondent who
appeared on Fox News and said Santa Barbara shooter Elliot Rodger may have been battling
"homosexual impulses" before he killed six people Friday.

"When I was first listening to him, I was like, ‘Oh, he’s angry with women for rejecting him,'" she said during the Fox News segment, "and then I started to have a different idea: 'Is this somebody who is trying to fight against his homosexual impulses?' Was he angry with women because they were taking away men from him? ... Was he angry at the men for not choosing him? ... He couldn't feel loved, he couldn't feel successful, maybe he couldn't even feel like a real man."

The company responded on Tuesday afternoon, writing: "Dr. Robi’s comments on the tragedy in Santa Barbara do not represent the opinions of Coldwell Banker. Therefore at this time we feel it best to part ways with her as our lifestyle real estate correspondent."

My job @judgejeanine was to assess several POSSIBLE triggers for #ElliotRodgers behavior. #peace #forequalrights However, I [a]pologize to ... all of those who felt offended. That was never my intention.
