Jacobson was accused of parading around at a suspect's house in order to get a story. The film of her at Craig Stebic's house was made by a rival news crew. Stebic was considered to be a prime suspect in the disappearance of his wife, who was never found.
Amy Jacobson says she was wrongfully fired.
Jacobson's suit, which states "some would say" she was "the best in the business" before the July 5, 2007, incident was recorded by Channel 2, alleges the station never should have shot the video, should never have aired it and should not have edited it the way it did.
According to a statement, the station stands by its' decision.
"CBS2 stands by its reporting," a WBBM spokeswoman said in a statement. "Ms. Jacobson's claims have no merit, and we look forward to vigorously defending ourselves in court."
