"I was told that I was a bad writer and looked ugly," Auyesova said, although during six years of work the channel's management was satisfied with both the appearance of the correspondent and the quality of her texts. As a result of pressure and the nervous situation as described by the journalist, she wrote a statement on being dismissed of her own accord.
