Jennifer Livingston is an overweight fatty obese newswoman who opted to make a public target out of a viewer (Kenneth W. Krause) who sent her a private e-mail out of concern the health of her and impressionable young girls. With October being "Bullying Awareness Month" (Breast Cancer has company), this retort was shown alongside videos of elementary school boys getting assaulted by multiple boys on a bus, because that's totally the same thing.
How DARE you say this MOTHER OF THREE is not a good role model for her girls? She has thyroid!

I am overweight -- you can call me fat, even obese.

"I work out regularly, but a medical condition makes losing weight tough. :( "
Livingston seems to ignore that when young girls get bullied by a single bully, it is usually in a place where the viewing is public so that it can turn into a public embarassment. Bullies rarely write polite e-mails. Fat children also are usually more excusable as they don't control the food brought into the home, and lack the education regarding diet and fitness that adults (and you would think news anchors especially) would have access to.
After her husband posted the e-mail (not a cover, either your husband snoops through your mail, which should enrage you, or you showed it to him) to the news station's facebook page (since removed) she then attacked the guy on air, rather than simply replying to him via e-mail, deciding to make a drama-storm about it to help her career, and paint herself as a hero by being an anti-bullying advocate (easier than being an anti-obesity advocate).
With the public against him, the heroic viewer finally deigned to give an apology. He revealed that he had been fat as a young boy and understood what kids went through, but that unlike her, he actually puts forth an effort to remain fit.
Unknown date: security guard Kenneth Krause sends Livingston an e-mail critical of her taking the position of a role model for young girls because of her high levels of fat.

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 hasn't 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 choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain. I leave you this note hoping that you'll reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Unknown date: Livingston's husband, Mike Thompson, a fellow news anchor at the station, somehow gets access to this e-mail.
Ok. I really don't know where to begin here. I've posted about negative emails the station has received in the past, but this one delivered specifically to my wife, morning anchor Jennifer Livingston, has just infuriated me. Seriously, the fact that there are people out there like this (and I understand this person is a lawyer in town) makes me sick to my stomach. Here's the e-mail

I want to take a moment to address a situation that has become a talking point in this community, especially on facebook, that centers around ME. On Friday I received the following e-mail from a Lacross man with the subject line "Community Responsibility" and it reads as follows...
Given this country's present epidemic of obesity and the many truly horrible diseases related thereto, and considering Jennifer Livingston's fortuitous position in the community, I hope she will finally take advantage of a rare and golden opportunity to influence the health and psychological well-being of Coulee Region children by transforming herself for all of her viewers to see over the next year, and, to that end, I would be absolutely pleased to offer Jennifer any advice or support she would be willing to accept.

ABC News YouTube link: apparently it's not bullying to track down a guy and have a Black man interrupt him as he's about to start his midnight work shift.

If Jennifer's offended, I truly apologize to Jennifer.

Krause also offered to help her get some of that weight off, there's no word back from her.

Jennifer was not bullied. She and her husband are big opportunists. Her husband is the skenky one and the biggest loser. Another man writes a private (solicited opinion via the TV stations email set up specifically for that) email to his wife and says her fat is not a good idea as a role model. Husband can’t stand to be married to a fat woman and for an alpha male to tell HIM that indirectly, he goes after Krause via facebook. The chicken-hearted little wussy snake husband of Jennifer does this under the “guise” of protecting her. He stabbed her in the back just to meet his own needs. This was entirely selfish on his part. That is what a “savior complex” will buy you. He wasn’t trying to protect Jennifer, he was defending his wounded ego. “How dare a man tell me that I am married to a fat pig?” For years his wife piled on the weight. She didn’t love herself or him and he couldn’t motivate her. An outside male kicked him in the nuts and he whined all the way to the TV station, all done while hiding behind Jennifer. What a scum!!
The Livingstons took this public. “IF” it was all about protecting Jennifer and helping children as they claim, there would never have been any mention of Kenneth Krause’s name. They wouldn’t have validated him and they wouldn’t have attacked him.
This going public is really about a wussy man’s wounded ego being hurt.
Both Jennifer and her wussy husband are extremely insecure and have deep character flaws.
Cant’ “body shame” or even “shame” someone without that person’s permission.
Krause’s email, unkind but true and solicited via the email set up for that exact purpose.
Jennifer, not only overly sensitive but also manipulative stemming from her denial and her unwillingness to be accountable. FAT, excuses, bullying assertion is just another attempt to avoid facing the truth. EVIL because lying and using other people for her own benefit.

He's the hero that the world deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll hunt him...because he can take it...because he's not a hero...he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...the Dark Kenneth Krause.

He was not bullying, look up the legal definition of bullying. he never once said anything derogatory, he was genuinely concerned about both her health and the health of a nation. He sent a private email, she got insulted because she knows she's fat and doesn't want to admit it's her fault so she decided to get all the other fatties to support her. She is being the bitch here, he was just trying to help. also i'm going to need some proof she ad a thyroid problem, or i call BS.
