Los Angeles: A United States woman weather reporter was almost fired as she was asked to cover herself with a cardigan, half way through a live forecast.
Reporter Liberte Chan was online informing about the weather for Las Angeles TV station KTLA when a frumpy grey sweater appeared on the right side of the camera.
“What’s going on? You want me to put this on? Why? Because it’s cold?” Chan asked as she slipped the sweater on over her dress. “We’re getting a lot of emails,” a male voice off screen said as a disembodied hand reached into camera view to hand Chan the gray coverup.
In the a Facebook Live chat Chan said that she was surprised that the incident became “this big thing”. “I really wasn’t offended. People are kind of spinning it and saying it was chauvinist. I thought it was just funny,” she was quoted as saying.
