“I know I didn’t do anything improper,” says TV reporter fired over bikini brouhaha

Chicago Magazine
Amy Jacobson, who was fired from Chicago’s WMAQ-TV after being videotaped wearing a swimsuit at the home of a man whose wife had disappeared, is asked if she would do anything differently. “I can’t think about that. I had to go through a year of counseling about ‘Why didn’t I put my shirt on? Why didn’t I wear my big, frumpy maternity bathing suit? … There are so many ‘what ifs.’ It was eating me up. But I know I didn’t do anything improper. And that’s what I live with: knowing that my heart was in the right place and that it was for the cause of the story.”
