The 86-year old columnist said she received a letter from the newspaper stating that they were not going to renew her contract, and she felt sorry that they did not think she was valuable enough to keep her on.
Smith, who was earning $125,000 annually for her column, told reporters that, “I’m busy, I’m ok. I am ok for a person who’s been let go.”
