Erick Adame is an American meteorologist, former television weather anchor, and independent weather content creator. He gained widespread attention in 2022 due to a high-profile scandal involving leaked adult webcam content, which led to his termination from a major New York news outlet.
Born in Los Angeles but raised primarily in Upstate New York, Erick comes from a Mexican-American family. He has over 15 years of experience in broadcasting, having worked for outlets like Spectrum News (including Spectrum News NY1 in New York City), where he was a popular morning meteorologist on “Mornings on 1.” He covered major weather events such as hurricanes, snowstorms, lake-effect snow, and tornadoes, earning Emmy nominations for team coverage of storms like Hurricane Ida and Tropical Storm Isaias.
The 2022 Scandal
In September 2022, Erick was fired from Spectrum News NY1 after nude photos and screenshots from his appearances on an adult webcam site (specifically mentioned in reports as a private group on a platform like LPSG — Large Penis Support Group) were anonymously sent to his employer, his mother, and others. He described the sharing as revenge porn or non-consensual distribution, filed a lawsuit against the site owners to identify the person responsible, and publicly apologized while emphasizing that his participation was consensual among participants but not intended for public exposure.
The incident drew significant media coverage (New York Post, NBC News, Advocate, etc.), with discussions around privacy, workplace policies, and the impact of leaked personal content on public figures. Erick has spoken openly about the mental health and financial toll, including struggles to find full-time media work afterward.
Post-Scandal Career & Current Status
After his termination:
He has not returned to traditional TV news broadcasting (as of 2026).
He launched “Weather with Erick”, a subscription-based weather service/app offering detailed forecasts beyond standard apps (available via his website erickadameontv.com and YouTube channel @ErickAdameAPP).
He has taken part-time jobs (including restaurant hosting) to make ends meet.
In late 2025/early 2026, he took a multi-month break from social media for personal/mental health reasons before returning to Instagram (@erickadameontv), X/Twitter (@ErickAdameOnTV), Threads, and Facebook to resume posting about weather, cats, Broadway shows, wine/beer, and personal updates.
He has relocated back to areas like Syracuse or Jersey City at times and continues to market his weather subscription service.
