Bullied News Anchor Speaks Out on National Television

Jennifer, I personally think you are a beautiful woman and you appear to be a very loving person, which makes you one of the best role models on tv. Thank you for standing up to the guy and to help people to realize what they say around their children will have an affect on how they too treat others. I loved the family picture. GBU...Love ya...Tonia.

Thank you for standing up and speaking out with your story. I myself have been incredibly bullied in my business and workplace to the point of suicide and questioning my own self. The hardest part to deal with is all the doubts I now have about myself that I never have had before until I was being bullied and lied to because someone else was jealous of my work and efforts. Nothing I did was ever enough and he thinks that it's just a game and that he can treat people the way he wants. He has done more damage to me and my family then I can even believe. Thank you for being an inspiration.

There is always someone ready to find fault with other People. These 2 are telling it like it is. God Bless both of them and the one finding Fault, He really needs lots of Prayers.

I'm not going to judge the man that spoke so ill to you he will have to answer to God for that.. I'm a plus size women my self and it is not easy. Not only do we have to carry the extra weight but, we also get everyone comments to carry. You are a Beautiful women, not only on the outside. You are the total package. I want to Thank-you For Standing up to the Bullies you are a positive role keep up the good work..

One out of every third person has carbohydrate allergies and don't even know it! With food allergies you have tendency to crave certain foods. The person who commented you Jennifer was probably an ugly, unloved toothpick shaped person with no heart. Your, beautiful! To the Bully, Beauty is only skin deep, but Ugly, goes clean to the bone! Besides, there is only, ONE JUDGE! Go get him Jennifer! God Bless You!

I know how you feel. I was a veteran of the US Air Force and performed my duties and exceeded. Oh how I worked out and did pass out a couple of times while performing my duties during my struggle to stay in the Air Force as it was my life since I joined at age 17. After I gave birth to my first child it was all downhill after that as I used laitives and the sauna to pass my monthly weight checks. It was actually a relief at the end when I failed for a final time and went before a hearing to dicuss my future career in the Air Force. I was a assigned a lawyer for my review based on my rank and he found records from my medical record that my thyroid was low and undocumented. I even spent 3,00 dollars and flew to a specialist at Emory University and he determined the same. Alcolades and my Squadron Commander stood for me. I was Air Transportation and I alwys passed our PT test and at the end of the day an undocumented problem was my demise and ignored. I peaded with them to send me to a main Military hospital and see if my findings were correct. My job was a physical one and my weight never deterred me. My hearing was more like a coutmarshall, listing my failed weight cheks. The prosecution even said out of trial they take their children to private doctors as they could not trust the military doctors. My lawyer tried to get the remarks entered and the judge shot it down. I was dependent on the Military Medical machine and it let me down despite a civillian expert that I saw. I found out in my innocence that they do not care. They did not care about my awards or my contribution. It was all in how you look I suppose. The Air Force more than most of the other services. Especially the Navy. When the decision came down and announced I felt humiliated. I let my squadron down, I let the retirement that I could have expirienced in five short years fail away because of my failure After you have been in the service for so long, what is a measley five years? I let the Air Force down I let myself down at my failure. I did get seperation pay, which was a plus and I did get a administrative discharge for my last years of service. Not an Honorable as before when time of service ended but I had no choice but to accept it. The only thing was they did not recognize my condition as l as I pleaded to them, They did not even want to help me, excluding my squadron commander and Fisrt Sergeant as they were the very, very best. I begged them to take me to a proper main military hospital and test me as I was overseas. It fell on deaf ears. That was back in 1999. It took a year to get over the issues and humiliation I felt with a supportive husband who felt helpless on what to say but he loved me and still loves me to thiis day after 16 years of marrige. But I have a succesful career rwith a major computer company and I do miss the Air Force. My company only focuses on what I do and not weight. I will always reccomend the Air Force as a career choice despite what the machine did to me. Your on TV reply ws great and people must realize that sometime people are not fat by a choice, but sometimes becasue of medical reasons. A lot of people do not think that. Thank you for stating that. You are my hero!

I would Love to have you as a friend on my facebook because I hate bullies and I am over weight you make me so proud. thank you for being you...JJ Sparks.

your children love you, your husband loves you, but most importantly God loves you and He made you in His image. That is the only scale you should chart yourself with (look up, not down).

This man is one who is contributing to the problem of our young girls and extremely dangerous and even life-threatening eating disorders! I was thin up until I had children (though I wouldn't give them back for any size 5!) and had gastric bypass to lose the weight. I was doing wonderfully until I had a hysterectomy and gained 30 lbs! So now I am struggling once again to get it off! I think it's great to have a beautiful anchor woman who is NOT a size 2 as a role model to our children - and especially our girls! You are EXACTLY what they need to see! They need to see that a woman can be successful, loving, caring, and absolutely gorgeous, and not have a teeny waist! You go girl!

I just want to say thank you! Being overweight and also a parent of a child bullied in school for his weight....your courage to stand up this man and his email is inspiring. Bullying is rampant on the internet primarily because the ones bullying are cowards. The bullying that occurs in schools is rampant too and as hurtful if not more. Your truth about it being something kids learn is something that needs to be brought to the public as you did. If not learned as an ok way of life, then those bullying others are not being held accountable at home or in the schools. I could go on and on but again just thanks a million times over for having the courage to speak out.

I was so full of joy when this brave Anchor woman gave this very hurtful comment a name....Bulling! Thank you for speaking out on this very emotional action that shames people. It is also sad that bulling starts at such a tender age. So thank you for standing up and may God continue to show his Favor upon you and your family. Montgomery, AL Susan Caldwell Camp.

Being healthy is important too. His email didn't sound that bad. I think this is blown way out of proportion.

Whilst it's hurtful to receive insults, it was wrong and very unprofessional to address this on TV network. Besides she is not overweight, but I do believe gluttony as one of the deadly sins in general is not taken serious enough (My mum too suffered from a thyroid problem but she was never overweight and who has ever seen an overweight person in the developing world?). She should have left the matter private and in God's hands ('Vengeance is mine saith the Lord'... there is no room for that now).

Bullies too have internal turmoil, they try to pull others down to feel fulfilled or comforted, bullies too need to seek help for under-lining issues.

Jennifer is such a beautiful inspiration and what a great message on not being judgmental and bullying!

What a great inspiration. People nowadays are so judgemental when it comes to appearance not knowing the real story behind it. Like her, I do have a thyroid condition also. Like her, I've been hurt by comments about my weight. I admire her husband for taking a stand and her for calling that bully out. Children nowadays need encouragers like her.
