Columbus TV Weather reporter body shamed for being pregnant

I guess these misogynists and troglodytes would prefer women go away and hide for 9 months so they don't make anyone uncomfortable with their "condition" .....

Pregnant meteorologist hopes that going public with cruel comments she has received will help others

The joy that Ashlee Baracy felt when she learned she was pregnant in December was followed almost immediately by dread.

“The sad part is the second I found out I was pregnant, I knew I would have to deal with criticism of my body by viewers,” said Baracy, 34, a meteorologist for WBNS-TV (Channel 10).

“I’ve been around the business long enough, and I’ve seen colleagues go through that. Anchors can hide a little bit behind the desk, but I knew it would be tough for me, because people see me head-to-toe in front of the green screen every day, and my figure would be on full display.”

As time went on and her belly grew, some viewers got downright mean.

“Pregnant or not, buy bigger clothes!!! You look bloated and uncomfortable. . . it is not likely your dresses will survive another 20 weeks of pregnancy weight.”

“Ashley, I couldn’t see next week’s temps. Your baby was in the way.”

“Ashley, you are really putting on weight. Watch your heart.”
