Ugly Betty, Bradford Meade
And the next father up to bat is Bradford Meade! For conducting an affair with (then proposing to) Wilhelmina Slater, the enterprising she-zilla with designs on son Daniel's fashion-editor job all while the mother of his children rots in a jail cell for murdering his previous mistress...strike one! For consistently belittling Daniel after saddling him with a job far beyond his capabilities...strike two! And finally, for hiring a Brazilian hunk to surreptitiously seduce his needy daughter Alexis in the wake of her gender-reassignment surgery, for the sole purpose of getting her out of the country (and out of his three remaining hairs) yeah, okay, Alexis did fake her own death and try to have Bradford thrown in the clink, but come on, he's her dad! all together now...strike three!
