The former radio presenter has opened up about her shock departure from her radio show and what’s next for her in Weekend Magazine.
Taking to Instagram Louise wrote, “It was important to me that I got to share my feelings on the way my departure from RTÉ was managed, and I’m grateful to @independent.weekend for letting me do it in the magazine I have my weekly beauty column.
“It has been very difficult, I was very hurt by the way it was handled, but I’m moving on more and more each day. In the piece I share that I’ve been working on a podcast, which is coming soon. I’m excited to speak to you all again in a new form.”
Louise announced her departure from 2fm in October writing, “After eleven years on RTE2FM, the time has come for me to move on. I’d like to thank RTE for the time I spent as part of the organisation, and particularly for the support it offered me around my illness in 2014 and 2015.
“I relished having the opportunity to play and support emerging Irish artists on the new music show I presented for five years, and look forward to seeing 2fm’s continued support of Irish music from the outside.
“I am especially grateful for the opportunity over the last two years to create a talk show I’m really proud of. It was an immense privilege to be part of people’s lives during such a difficult time for us as a society, and I will never forget it.
“Thank you so much to all the listeners for your continued support, you have made my career so far. I’m nowhere near finished yet, so hope you’ll all join me in my next chapter.”
After sharing her cover of Weekend Magazine, Louise was shown support from friends such as Angela Scanlon who wrote, “The truth will set you free baby” and James Kavanagh who shared a heart eyes emoji.
