Mesley was suspended from The Weekly on June 9, 2020, for uttering the word "nigger" in reference to Pierre Valliere's book White Niggers of America, when she was hosting an editorial meeting on race issues. Mesley apologised straight away.
She announced her resignation from CBC on July 5, 2021. "I made mistakes" was a Mesley opinion piece that appeared in The Globe and Mail on July 7, 2021. My resignation, on the other hand, was not the solution to the CBC's racial injustice," which was more extensive in terms leading up to her resignation. Although Mesley admitted to making a serious mistake by using the word nigger in editorial meetings twice, once in 2019 and again in 2020, she said that her second mistake was in trusting CBC staff to handle the news properly. She also thought the punishment imposed by management was unfair, considering that her use of the word was not malicious on both directions.
She was named by ACTRA as the recipient of the John Drainie Award for lifetime achievement in Canadian broadcasting in 2006.
