Those in on-camera careers, like journalists, are no strangers to harsh criticism, especially in today’s world of social media where anonymity fuels judgment. Kristen Nicole, a “Good Day Chicago” news anchor,
faced such scrutiny when viewers complained about her visible baby bump while she was pregnant. Seated behind the news desk in a blue, form-fitting dress, Kristen received negative emails accusing her of seeking attention with her pregnancy. Unfazed, she addressed the critics with a confident Facebook post, reminding them that she’s proud of her journey and won’t change her appearance for anyone’s approval.
