Crime TV reporter smacked on bottom during live broadcast: ‘You violated, objectified and embarrassed me’

Authorities promise to take action against runner after WSAV New’s Alex Bozarjian assaulted while covering road race in Georgia
A TV reporter said she was left “violated” and “embarrassed” after being smacked on the bottom during a live broadcast.

Alex Bozarjian, of WSAV News, was reporting roadside from a 10km race in Savannah, Georgia, when a male participant ran up behind and struck her.

Ms Bozarjian appeared visibly shocked in footage of the incident as streams of runners continued to pass her on Savannah Bridge.

She later condemned the runner, saying: “To the man who smacked my butt on live TV this morning: you violated, objectified, and embarrassed me.

“No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere! Do better.”

Fellow reporters showed their support for Ms Bozarjian’s statement on Twitter, while criticising the man responsible.

“I’m so heated for you,” Emily Bloch of the Florida Times said. “This is disgusting. Sending strength and solidarity your way. Now, let’s get this grimy dude and warn the women in his life.”

ABC News 13’s Caitlyn Penter wrote: “DO NOT TOUCH REPORTERS. Period.”

Ms Bozarjian was covering the annual Savannah Bridge Run on Saturday when the incident happened.

“Check out this jerk smacking a @WSAV reporter's ass live on air. And sorry, that's my kiddo making horribly timed weird noises in the background. https://t.co/6tzi6P1Jbo”

Robert Wells, director of the Savannah sports council, promised to find the runner and take action.

“Alex, what happened today is 100 per cent unacceptable,” Mr Wells said. “You have my assurance we will identify him.

“This will not be tolerated at our events. Glad we have race bibs and photos for easy identification.”

Men: "Why don't women like us or trust us REEEE WHORES WHORES WHORES WHORES"

Also men: *hits a woman on camera*

Woman: "Fuck off, you're a piece of shit."

Also men: "BUT THAT'S NOT FAAAIIIRRR"

This why women don't like us, hitting a stranger is bad form and this dude was stupid enough to do it on camera where he could be identified no less. 2 +2 still equals 4 and you still shouldn't hit a stranger on the ass especially when you are easily identified, but of course the new generation of men still sit in their own shit bawling about how hard they have it when there are consequences for acting exceptional.

You brainless niggers are why the rest of us can't get girlfriends and women keep going to feminism.

But on the other hand your stupidity and first world spoiled brat mindsets will contribute to the Farms, so there really is a silver lining to everything.

You're trying very hard to sound reasonable but if you were actually being reasonable you'd be more interesting in the disproportionate response. Virtually everyone at some point will be touched when they don't want to be. And you know what? They're fine and get over it and it isn't newsworthy.

I mean, maybe it's newsworthy because it happened on LIVE television while she did a newscast? :thinking: You know, the audience to the news she was giving at the moment saw it? It became news when he slapped her ass not when she spoke out about it, this point makes zero fucking sense lol.

If journos didn't wield thier power like some sort of sword to strike down a persons career i'd agree with you, but at the same time this chap is gonna be flayed alive for something comparatively trivial compared to the sort of events and activies journalists should be covering. For this woman, this event is a score to be settled rather an a mild annoyance to be ignored, she wields the power to fuck this poor dumb bastard over.

She was reporting on a 10k marathon, not manipulating politics or whatever it is you're worried about. I mean, maybe this is upsetting to hear but touching someone inappropriately, regardless of their sex or occupation is uh, bad and not trivial. Fuck the bastard over, you don't do that shit, lol.

I assume you two really hit it off with the ladies, eh? :story:

Is the apology going to un-slap her butt?

We're reaching levels of "she's not going to have sex with you" that shouldn't be possible.

For fuck's sake, can't people just keep their hands to themselves? I have little sympathy for most journalists, but even less for this guy. The lady was just doing her job, and this dumbass decided to go up and smack her ass on national television.

He gets what he deserves. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
