NBC Reporter Amy Jacobson Bikini Scandal Video
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
It's been a year since former NBC 5 reporter Amy Jacobson appeaed in a bikini at the home of Craig Stebic, husband of still-missing Lisa, a move that resulted in Jacobson's release from NBC 5.
This former television reporter sued a rival Chicago TV station Monday for $1 million, claiming it aired a videotape of her in a swimsuit at the home of a man whose estranged wife had vanished to boost ratings.
Amy Jacobson, who lost her job with NBC affiliate WMAQ-TV last July, claims in the suit that CBS station WBBM-TV broadcast the video "with the sole motive of boosting its sagging ratings" and portrayed the veteran broadcaster "as an adulteress and disreputable reporter."
The court papers which claim the following:
* Seven parties, including CBS Broadcasting, several CBS 2 employees, a Northwestern University professor, and the owner of the home from which the video was shot are named as defendants.
* Jacobson's four year-old son still cries when her unemployment is mentioned.
* The tape had 150,000 viewers in its first day and led to "more than a million stories and comments" on the internet.
* The Law & Order episode based on the incident reflected an industry-wide perspective of Jacobson as an "unethical person" and further hindered her career.
* CBS 2 attempted to pass the tape off as theirs even though it was shot by a neighbor, defendant Tracy Reardon, who "had a grudge against Craig Stebic and intensely disliked Amy Jacobson."
The papers turn downright catty at one point: "Even the well-known and discredited CBS defense of 'fake but accurate' won't work this time; because the story is both fake and inaccurate."
The papers also detail Jacobson's alleged rise from food stamps to six-figure salary as well as some behind-the-scenes chicanery between CBS 2 and NBC 5 regarding each other's coverage of the Stebic story prior to the Jacobson brouhaha.
Jacobson has said she originally intended to take her kids swimming at Chicago's East Bank Club before she detoured to the Plainfield home of Craig Stebic, whose wife had vanished two months earlier and remains missing to this day, at the invitation of Stebic's sister.
So who's at fault, readers? Did CBS 2 portray her unfairly? Is the knock to her reputation unfair or did she bring this upon herself?
