news anchor told "Your makeup makes you look like a whore. Do yourself a favor and clean up" [View all]

Link to tweet

Local news anchor Whitney Burney in Grand Rapids, Michigan shared with her Twitter followers an abusive email she received from a viewer.

“The kinds of emails you get when you work in news,” she tweeted on Saturday, including a screenshot of the email. “He even had the nerve to leave his cell phone, address and occupation in the email signature. And said if I’m the wrong person please forward this message. Huh?? LMAO.”

The email appeared to be from a local doctor. His contact information had been redacted in the screenshot shared on Twitter by Ms Burney.
