Yes, he should have been let go. Not acceptable in any editorial context.
WOW! I think both parties gone overboard. There are standards and professional ethics that need to be adhered to. The freelancer shows a lack of skills and integrity, they can be resolved mentorship/counseling and extra effort to rebuild credibility in the relationship. However when you publically put the guy on the carpet humiliating him like you did creats a potential legal problem. But I guess it is okay to totally humiliate people with out regard for their life and how they make a living. Getty may have not been his only relationship for freelance work. Just saying, just cut the guy loose thats good enough.
