Meteorologist Asked To Cover Up During Live Broadcast.
A KTLA meteorologist had an embarrassing moment on live TV when she was told to cover up her dress, which many felt was too revealing (video below).
In a video of the incident, meteorologist Liberte Chan can be seen doing her broadcast while wearing a black beaded dress. Suddenly, her broadcast is interrupted by someone appearing from off camera and handing her a sweater.
“What’s going on?” she asks. “You want me to put this on? Why, because it’s cold?”
An off-screen voice then tells Chan that the station was “getting a lot of emails” about her dress.
“I look like a librarian now,” a deflated Chan says in response.
The reporter later claimed she wasn’t forced by anyone at her job to wear the gray cardigan sweater, but said that a “spontaneous moment” by a colleague to make fun of her outfit inspired the dress choice.
“I was simply playing along with my co-anchor’s joke,” she said, New York Daily News reported.
“I like my bosses and enjoy working with my coworkers. Since talking to my team, I want our viewers to know it was never our intention to offend anyone.”
