Anchor: I Wanted To Call Him Out On Low Blow, A host's on-air rebuke to a viewer who attacked her weight strikes a chord around the world. Overweight TV Anchor Jennifer Livingston Responds to Viewer 'Bully', Jennifer Livingston, a morning anchor with WKBT-TV in La Crosse, Wis., is used to getting feedback from viewers. But when a male viewer wrote her a letter chiding her for being overweight, the mother of three took action.
In an on-air editorial address Tuesday morning that lasted more than four minutes, Livingston acknowledged being overweight - even obese - then added, "To the person who wrote me that letter, do you think I don't know that?"
She followed up by thanking her colleagues, family friends and the others who have come to her defense.
"I will never be able to thank you enough for your words of support and for taking a stand against this bully," she said. "We are better than this email. We are better than the bullies that will try to take us down."
