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.”

Gosh. Armenians.

She should look at this in perspective. After all she would have probably have liked it a whole lot less if the guy was a ham bobbler instead of a rump slapper.

She privated her Insta. Odd

I guess she tried to hide her skeletons in the closet but too late, the Streisand effect had happened.

Btw, it could had been worse, she could had meet a similar fate like that journalist who was shot live in 2015.

Jackass should keep his hands to himself...

But the funny thing is within a decade (at most optimistic) she's going to hit an existential crisis when men stop treating her that way and her bosses start looking for excuses to replace her with a woman still ass slap worthy.

I'm not sure if this guy is a hero for assaulting a journalist, or a hero for slapping a woman's ass on live tv.

The fate all journalists deserve tbh

Kind of funny since they identified the dude and he is married w/ kids, and strongly religious (Methodist). I'm guessing wifey won't be to happy.

They are Methodist. What the wife thinks and feels doesn’t matter. Gotta swallow an awful lot of pride to keep a traditional religious headship marriage trucking along.

All you need is the accurate headline: "Christian Man Beats Woman Reporter on Live Television." That sells and a married man was helpful enough to provide material for the culture war without any prompting or coaxing.

It should be very easy to realize that hitting a stranger on live television is a bad idea and will bring down bad consequences on your head as it gets broadcasted to everyone you know, but we've still got nignogs in the thread whining about how it's not fair.

I don't care that it's considered socially taboo. I can't see an argument for it not being socially taboo.

But guys grabbing women's asses happens every day, numerous times all over the world. It's shitty, but it isn't news. At best it's a salacious ragebait "human interest" tabloid story aimed at women.

Why should anyone anywhere else in America (our the world) care that this happened? "Some guy in Georgia is completely shameless, here's footage!" So what? Things like this will continue to happen no matter what. All it takes is one asshole. There will always be plenty of them, no matter how often men in general are lectured.

And the overreaction is troubling, too. At some point it stops being defensive and starts being self-indulgent and authoritarian. Nobody but the self-righteous likes that.

I’ve had my arse slapped while I was working, and while it really pissed me off, I just glared at the girl when she turned to look back. I think that’s a fairly reasonable response.

I like it when coworkers slap my ass after I've performed well. Then again, I play professional football for a living.

 

[Junior Faze]

You know, once upon a time, women had carte-blanche to slap a guy who crossed a line. Imagine, say, Joan Crawford if a man grabbed her ass.

It was understood; it was proportionate; it provided just the right amount of public shaming -- everyone in the vicinity knew the guy was a cad a and a bounder. The woman handled it and then it was over.

This is one of the ways that third-wave feminism has actually made [some] women less tough. Nowadays when we're offended, we have to wallow in our victimhood for a good long while, ramp up our outrage and summon a posse of attack-dogs to blow this molehill sky-high and destroy, destroy, destroy.

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.

Literal nothing you wrote reflects reality.

Get a grip faggot.

Honestly had the slapping of the ass not been caught on video I wouldn't have even believed it happened. We're all so jaded and everything is so tiresome these days.
While I think the dude is a shitheel for slapping a random woman's ass the mob outrage is, once again, way too goddamn much, and where are these Twitter super detectives when legit horrible shit happens?

This thread rite now

You have anything to add aside from describing the reality ? I mean my reaction was basically

Yes.So ?

I don't know about you guys, but all I see is a normal ass slap. There was a time where women gets all blushing from it or scolding the guy back. Sure, times has changed (for the worse) but this really didn't warrant an overblown witch hunt. Sometimes it is just a playful ass slap.
