She is looking at the options.\"\n\nThe presenter was initially suspended from the station in October and never returned to air before her formal termination approximately five months later.\n\nThe allegations against Ms Adams centred on three separate incidents that were examined during the BBC's internal inquiry.\n\nShe was accused of hurling a pencil at a producer, an allegation a source described as \"way off the mark.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nA second complaint alleged she had directed a misogynistic slur at a colleague, with this incident said to have occurred approximately 14 years ago.\n\nThe third accusation claimed she had reprimanded an intern regarding their professional capabilities.\n\nMs Adams has firmly rejected all three claims and suggested that her assertive manner may have been misinterpreted as bullying behaviour.\n\nIn her Instagram statement, she wrote: \"I categorically deny using a misogynistic slur 14 years ago, and I'm horrified at its invention more than a decade later. It is absolutely not a word I would have used.\"\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Bonnie Tyler still 'very unwell' despite no longer being in coma as health update issued\n  * Former Strictly star gives brutal verdict on exits as fellow dancer argues 'got rid of wrong ones!'\n  * Neil Jones flooded with support from BBC Strictly co-stars as he shares sad loss: 'Finally at peace'\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSources close to Ms Adams have pointed to broader issues within the workplace, claiming the environment at BBC Scotland was problematic.\n\n\"It was a difficult work environment. It was dysfunctional,\" a source told the publication.\n\nThey added: \"Producers were out of their depth and the bosses brought in many inexperienced people, with little training, and threw them in at the deep end.\"\n\nMs Adams addressed the accusations publicly through social media, stating: \"I've tried to keep a dignified silence, but these attacks on my character are now so persistent, they can no longer go unchallenged.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nShe added: \"As for 'berating an intern,' this is simply untrue. Regarding the allegation that I threw a pencil while alone in an empty studio, words fail me.\"\n\nThe presenter expressed her distress at how her tenure at the broadcaster had concluded, writing: \"I am heartbroken that 15 years of hard work and dedication to BBC Scotland is being reduced to this.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Adams began her BBC Scotland career in 2010 with the phone-in show Call Kaye, subsequently presenting The Kaye Adams Programme and Mornings with Kaye Adams.\n\nITV has maintained its support for the presenter, who has featured in nearly 1,000 episodes of Loose Women.\n\nGB News has approached the BBC and Ms Adams' representatives for a comment on the reports.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
