Disgraced Reporter Sues TV Station For Airing Swimsuit Footage

By JJ Duncan on
Former television reporter Amy Jacobson is fighting back against the station that disgraced her.

Jacobson was dismissed in July of 2007 from Chicago station WMAQ-Ch. 5 after CBS station and ratings rival WBBM aired provocative footage of Jacobson in an inappropriate situation. In the midst of of the search for Lisa Stebic, who has been missing since April, 2007, Jacobson was filmed relaxing in a swimsuit at the home of Stebic's husband, Craig.

Now Jacobson is suing WBBM for airing the footage. Jacobs, along with husband Jaime Anglada, filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court Monday seeking more than $1 million in damages from CBS and several of its employees.

Jacobson claims the footage is out of context, and that she was graciously accepting an invite to enjoy the pool on her day off.
