In a recent incident, Meteorologist Sarah Jensen brilliantly handled an inappropriate email from a viewer who critiqued her appearance rather than her forecasting skills. Following her Saturday broadcast at a local news station in Denver, Sarah received a message that was not only rude but also irrelevant to her professional duties.
The viewer claimed they “didn’t want to be mean,” yet proceeded to share a lengthy tirade about Sarah’s outfit, suggesting it looked as if she had just come from a night out. While it’s common for women in the media to face unsolicited opinions about their looks, the email’s tone and content were particularly unnecessary. The viewer went on to say, “Have a little decorum and be more understated,” despite Sarah’s outfit being tasteful and appropriate for the occasion.
As any seasoned broadcaster knows, comments like these are par for the course. Women in journalism often receive feedback that is focused more on their appearance than their professional capabilities. Former news anchor Lisa Hartman once noted that very few critiques ever centered on her actual reporting skills.
In response to the rude email, Sarah took a stand. She reminded the viewer that her primary job is to deliver accurate weather forecasts clearly and effectively. Sharing her response on social media, she expressed her self-confidence and addressed the absurdity of the email. “I was feeling way too good about myself to not reply to this nasty email,” she wrote, adding a witty remark about the viewer’s comments.
This incident serves as a reminder that professional women do not require unsolicited critiques on their appearance. As the saying goes, if you don’t have anything nice to say, it’s best to keep quiet.
