SUE FUMES OVER NEWS OF BOOZE

Potty-mouthed anchor Sue Simmons insisted yesterday that booze didn’t fuel her F-bomb earlier this week and that she doesn’t drink between shows.

The firebrand WNBC/Channel 4 news anchor stunned viewers Monday during a tease for her 11 p.m. show, shouting out, “What the f- – – you doing?!”

The Post yesterday quoted former co-workers, who claimed the saucy anchor enjoys liquid lunches between her 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts.

“Not one word of it is true,” Simmons told The Post via e-mail. “I haven’t had an alcoholic drink between shows for at least 15 years or more.”

She added, “I understand more now why many people don’t trust the media.”

Simmons explained that she believed the tease was being taped and not going out on live airwaves.

“I got caught on air dropping the F-bomb. I thought we were taping a spot . . . turns out it was very live,” Simmons said.
