La Crosse TV anchor earns national attention for obese comment response

Wednesday, October 03, 2012

"Jennifer Livingston addressed the subject for 4 minutes Tuesday on WKBT. She said the viewer was being a bully by saying in an e-mail that she’s obese.
Kenneth Krause wrote, “Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make,” and he urged her to, “Reconsider your responsibility to present and promote a healthy lifestyle.”
Livingston said they exchanged some e-mails, but Krause wouldn’t back down from his assertion that she was a bad role model.

............
Livingston said her on air criticism was less about Krause and more about bullying in general. Krause told the AP that his e-mails had nothing to do with bullying."
