Chief meteorologist Kristi Gordon of Canada’s Global BC News recently went on-air to deliver an exciting forecast: she was pregnant, and going to have her second child.
However, the delivery of this announcement came with a strange request attached. She asked viewers to, please, be nice about the clothes she wore on TV during her pregnancy. “It was horrible last time,” Gordon declared, in reference to her first go-round carrying a child.
This did not help. People exploded with more “hate mail” than ever about Gordon’s wardrobe and her changing body - which she decided to read during a recent broadcast.
A sample? “Nowhere on North America TV have we seen a weather reader so gross as you,” one piece of mail read. “Your front end looks like the Hindenburg and your rear end looks like a brick [censored] house… We now turn off Global.” It's absolutely unbelievable how some people can treat others about their appearence, especially towards pregnant women. This MD said it the best:
“Creating and supporting life is truly a miracle, and everyone has had a mother at some point - somebody who made this sacrifice for them, and looked ‘different’ so that they could be alive today,” Worly continues. “Offensive comments aimed at pregnant women are short-sighted, inconsiderate, and overly materialistic.”
