The Block billionaire Adrian Portelli has promised to find a job for the recently eliminated Channel Nine Star Alex Cullen, after the host of Today Show was fired from the network for accepting a gift of $ 50,000 of it.

The rich 35 -year -old entrepreneur, recently shared a photo to Instagram in which he revealed that he had donated the $ 50K of cullen to a beneficial organization in his name, and extended a surprising offer to the presenter.

“Alex Cullen … On behalf of you, partner, $ 25,000 for the Salvation Army and $ 25,000 for the RSPCA,” Portelli wrote next to a screenshot of the bank receipts.

‘I have remained quite silent about what was developed with Alex, but even before he had heard of nine, we had a conversation in which he expressed his desire to donate the money.

‘That says a lot about his character. Alex, you are an absolute gentleman. If you let yourself go, it would be more than happy to collaborate with you in something. True class, friend!

Portelli also shared his stories that he had ‘available positions’ in Melbourne for creators of content and cameramen, hinting at what roles they could be available for Cullen.

Follow reports that Cullen has been eliminated from network nine after he accepted $ 50,000 from Portelli.

Today’s presenter, 44, received the considerable sum after it was the first personality of the media to use the self -proclaimed nickname of Portelli ‘McLaren Man’ live in the air last week, which caused a storm of fire .

Today, host Karl Stefanovic made the announcement that Cullen had left the live network in the air on Friday morning.

“As most of you are aware, our colleague Alex Cullen has not been in the air with us last week,” Stefanovic told the spectators.

‘There have been generalized reports about the circumstances surrounding this, what I can say is that last night, Alex and Nine agreed that he would end the network.

‘Alex, of course, has been part of the family today for five years, is always ready with a smile and a laugh and without hesitation to speak for all of us here, we can say that we will miss him terribly, because surely.

“An excellent man, what you see is what you get and he has been a great partner for all of us during these years and we wish Alex, his wife Bonnie and his beautiful children the best for the future.”

A nine spokesman told Daily Mail Australia: “Nine has agreed with today’s presenter and journalist Alex Cullen who will end the network after a review in a recent incident.”

The scandal began when Portelli had tired of his nickname for a long time .

The block entrepreneur registered what seemed to be a bank transfer of $ 50,000 to the presenter on Instagram.

Accept cash, gifts or benefits to undermine journalistic independence and incorrect a journalistic position for personal benefit, are infractions of the Code of Ethics of Journalism, as defined by the Union of the Entertainment Alliance and Media Arts.

The poorly advised trick led to cullen to be suspended for nine and did not appear in the program while the network investigated the payment.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Adrian Portelli to comment.

On Tuesday, Cullen resurfaced on social networks to share a birthday tribute to his daughters on Instagram.

During his absence of the Today program, Cullen has been replaced by Clint Stanaway, who reports live from Melbourne for Nine coverage of the Australian Open tennis.

The separation of Nine’s forms with Cullen continued despite the statement of Portelli that Cullen intended that the money be paid to charity all the time.

Network experts also told Daily Mail Australia that the trick could have been beneficial for the Network and Portelli, if Cullen had advised the promoter that, as a journalist, he could not accept any payment for making the comment on the air.

Portelli received the unwanted nickname ‘Mr Lambo’ for the first time after reaching a 2022 auction of popular image change show in a yellow lamborghini.

Cullen joined today for relaunching five years ago. Initially, he was only the sports presenter, but took over the news when Tracy Vo resigned from the program and returned to 9News Perth.
