No, she runs into the office and tells everyone that whats-his-face is the Plutonian, because all she cared about was her career. Then, since they were on air, the host immediately starts with "breaking news, the secret identity of the Plutonian is-" and as this is happening the Plutonian destroys the broadcasting equipment before more of the message can get out. The crew are terrified by this, pleading to not hurt them. To which he replies "Hurt you? How can I SAVE you? You just announced to the world you know who I am. Every villain I ever faced will hunt you and your families down to torture them for any possible information you might have on me!"
Which is why Tony snaps in the end, people being shitty and his powers meaning he can hear EVERY-FUCKING-THING ever said on the planet. It would be like having not only the worst parts of social media beamed directly into your head, but specifically the parts whining about you never being good enough. Do that to someone with beyond Superman levels of power and it's no fucking surprise he loses it.
I really hate how hard that series tries to paint him as well irredeemable and that we should cheer for everything awful that happens to him in the end.
Because his background was horrible, his existence was misery, and it had no end. And the people he was giving his everything to were ungrateful and trying to ruin him constantly, as shown by my favorite line:
Is that how this works? I made one stupid mistake, and now I have nothing?
The story treats him as if his mistakes as irredeemably bad marks against his character, while everyone else gets to have redemption arcs where they are barely repentant or make excuses for the evil they do. Shit the one guy literally condemned countless planets to destruction for a promise evil aliens might help kill him one day.
Its very showing how the writer's, and a lot of other peoples, morality works. Its all relative based on how you want to frame it, how much you like them, and if it satisfies your justice boner.
People in general were just really fucking stupid in Irredeemable, like the guy who just murders one of the other superpowered siblings because he didn't like him and had been told the siblings shared power. Except it turned out the one he murdered was the source so now the world is even more fucked because it was one of the few people left alive who could still give the Plutonian a fight.
Its really telling how good the Plutonian and a few others are as a character, and a few really good moments, that anyone cares about the story because it is filled with the most retarded, unlikeable characters possible otherwise.
Though I think Invincible is miles worse in that regard so its baffling to me that that is the one they chose to adapt and managed to get super popular.

Probably because it's written by Robert Kirkman who also wrote the comic for The Walking Dead, so execs were looking to jump on another of his projects and at least Invincible was finished. If they try to do the same again with Fire Power then at least comic readers will know it won't end up being done well in part because of how badly Invincible has been mismanaged but also because despite a good start Fire Power doesn't end anywhere near as well as it could have.
And no loving family that took in a baby that fell from the sky in a spcaeship. He was bestowed upon a woman with severe depression who tried again and again to murder him as a baby, when she died he went through several foster homes where he accidentally hurt people because he couldn't control his powers, and then spent the rest of his adolescence in a feral state in the wild.
