NYC weatherman fired over nude pics launches own service

The New York City meteorologist who was canned over his leaked live-streamed nudes in an alleged “revenge porn plot” is launching his own subscription service.

Emmy-nominated Erick Adame, 39, who was axed by Spectrum News NY1 in September, announced on Twitter his “very own weather subscription!”

“Get an email with the detailed, yet fun, weather forecast the way only Erick Adame can,” he tweeted Sunday. “I hope I can count on your support as I continue to do what I love to do!!”

He posted a short video explaining his new venture, in which he’ll charge subscribers $5 a month for the service.

“Soon you’ll be able to see me, on camera, delivering you the forecast just like before, but this time, it’s going directly to your email so you’ll be able to catch up on the weather forecasts whenever it’s convenient for you,” Adame says.

“You’ll get an email every morning with a summary of the day’s weather, a checklist on what you may need as you head out the door plus a few other fun weather things like pollen counts, hourly rain chances, weather facts, and of course, a weather video that gives you the forecasts the way only Eric Adame can,” he boasts.

Adame told his viewers to sign up for the service — which will begin Wednesday — on his website, www.erickadameontv.com.

Adame was fired after images of him live-streaming sex acts were taken from an adult website without his permission.

It later emerged that he mentioned his job and other personal details during a cam session made in December 2021 – leading to his apology about a “compulsion.”

He recently told WNYC he believed a mystery voyeur became obsessed with distributing nude images of him in an apparent effort to embarrass him.

“I concluded, it’s the same person that is just obsessed with posting these pictures of me. Some of them are so humiliating,” he said.

Adame, who lives in New Jersey, has since hired a lawyer to obtain the IP address of the person who posted the images.

The radio station has reported that it was unclear what law enforcement could do, as the images may not qualify as “revenge porn. Under New York law, a person must have a “reasonable expectation of privacy,” and live-streaming may not be protected.

Adame told WNYC that sadistic trolls have harassed him online.

“There is a mixture of support and then you’d have this random message calling me whatever name to degrade me and then saying you want some more? I can be your daddy,” he said.

“You know — no. I just lost this job that I really loved. I’m being publicly humiliated and you think I enjoy this?” he told the outlet.

Adame’s rep Howard Bragman, who died in February, had described the nudes leaked to his client’s mom and employer as “classic revenge porn.”

“Somebody recognized him and thought they would play God and share it with his employer and his family,” he told The Post in September.

Audio obtained by The Desk emerged of Adame’s performances where he reportedly disclosed his name, address and job description to hundreds of men on the adult site Chaturbate, where he allegedly performed sex acts on himself.

He has confessed that his compulsion to make live sex videos for strangers stemmed from “low self-esteem” from being rejected for being gay.

“Showing off and getting that type of praise and being called sexy, I wanted to see more. Hearing that from someone on the other end made you feel so good,” he said, adding that he is now in a committed relationship and that he keeps his sex life private.

“I don’t apologize for being sex positive — but I apologize because I am a role model,” Adame said. “What it comes to is, as a news person, I live under different rules. I don’t think that’s fair, but I think that we do.”
