“He was found to have done something … that was improper, but he was punished for it, and they still haven't let him return,” an insider reported at the time.

There were no examples of specific incidents that were referenced, but one source noted that “he made people feel uncomfortable,” and went on to say, “There was a period where there were some issues, a number of alarming events.

Marciano has not publicly addressed his firing at this time.
