CORRECTION: Ohio Anchor Resigns Over Nude Photos
CORRECTION: A headline on this website erroneously reported Tuesday that Youngstown anchor Catherine Bosley, of WKBN-TV, was fired from her job after nude photographs of her surfaced on the Internet. The story was provided by our partner website, NewsNet5.com in Cleveland. Bosley, in fact, resigned from her position at WKBN. We regret the error.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Members of the media are expected to represent the community with the utmost class and respect, Cleveland TV station WEWS reported.
But one northeast Ohio news anchor went to an extreme she never thought would catch up to her -- until she made national news -- on the wrong side of the camera.
Catherine Bosley, a news anchor for 10 years at WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, was used to having her picture taken.
However, someone took pictures of her after she stripped naked during a wet T-shirt contest while she was vacationing in Key West, Fla., last year with her husband.
"It was just a spur of the moment, silly, irresponsible thing to do that I regretted a great deal the next morning," Bosley said.
She lived with the secret for 10 months until the pictures showed up on the Internet about a week ago. Now she's out of a job.
"I felt like I disappointed myself. I felt like I disappointed God. And should anything like this get out, I disappointed this entire community," Bosley said.
She claims she had just recovered from a deadly lung disease and wanted to celebrate life.
"It was 20 to 30 minutes of my life. It didn't hurt anybody. I didn't do anything obscene. It was funny at the time," Bosley said.
"I know that I have to set a standard and I'm a bit of a role model so I take responsibility for what I'm supposed to be held up to," she said. "This definitely goes down in one of those categories of what was I thinking? What was I thinking?"
Bosley said she asked bouncers at the bar where the contest was held if the contest would be a part of the "Girls Gone Wild" video, or if anything would make it to the national level. They said no.
Bosley is working with a lawyer to determine if any action can be taken against the bar.
