the local news anchor in wisconsin and receive some hate mail which
basically told her that she's overweight and she's been over a week for several
years now were
views to the hate mail you know we get hideous things on a regular basis and
usually uh... the strategy is to ignore it right
however i'd jennifer livingston didn't want norick she wanted to respond tour
hater here's a chance to say
on friday i received the following email from all across man with the subject
line community responsibility and that reads as follows
hi jennifer
it's unusual that i see your morning show but i did so for a very short time
today
i was surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition has improved for
many years surely you don't consider yourself a suitable example for this
community's young people girls in particular obesity is one of the worst
choice is a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain
i reviewed this note hoping that you'll reconsider your responsibility as a
local public personality to presents and promotes healthy lifestyle
all right so that's how it starts off that was a very harsh
letter that someone had sent to her
on so
let's let's connect city-owned to see how she responded to it because
i feel like it but i'm going to publicly respond to the hate mail like that
and i thought you did show a picture of yourself a little bit
no accidentally
let's see how this woman in the probably not as classes an
there was a blast in the media we get a copy dust of critiques from our viewers
throughout the year and we realize that it comes with having a job in the public
eye
but this female was more than that but first the truth this
i am operates
you can call me fat and yes
even of these on a doctor's chart
but to the person roaming that letter
do you think i don't know that that your cruel words are pointing out something
that i don't see
you don't know me you are not a friend of mine you are not a part of my family
and you haven't made that you don't watch this show so you know nothing
about me but what you see on the outside and i'd and much more then a number on a
scale
hammer lock that that was really good
yeah i thought about first of all was in much class your response and what i
would assume really get definitely
and and what i love is that it is always a misconception when people see someone
who's overweight and then they automatically assume of their lazy day
own exercise they don't need it right
everyone is different everyone has a different body a different travelers and
so just because someone looks like they're large doesn't mean that they're
not doing their best to take care of their way and he was accusing her
of not being responsible as a public figure
we're heather network i'm not given a gang any credence he is one of the
caller for a strain
and like he felt that he found a clever way of the excuse for that and saying in
this way
unload this problem and
that's the same and that there's no way in the world if i was watching local
t_v_ which pessimistic i've been a long time
but it was once you've seen it is the way it would turn or so was compelling
television appreciate a powerful point no other way she stuck up for self
you don't think i know that i was powerful
ryan and and then she said that that's not how you should judge people she's
absolutely right
beyond our circumstances knowing it'll let women red
and plus on the other hand
barely move for her
stew
itive noah of
bell godless are there not
so do you feel like it's a smart idea for a public figure like that to respond
to criticism
yeah i think the audience closer to ten times more after that did before
