Amy Jacobson Suing Television Network For Defamation
July 8th, 2008 | by admin |
Former NBC 5 reporter Amy Jacobson has filed a lawsuit against CBS 2 for their part in showing a video of her in a bathing suit that she says helped ruin her career.
The network showed the tape last summer, showing Jacobson at a pool party at the Plainfield home of Craig Stebic, whose wife Lisa has been missing since early in 2007.
She was covering the story of the disappearance of Lisa, leading many to wonder why she would be at the house in the first place.
Many had warned her that she was getting to close to the case, and she was fired soon after.
The lawsuit against the network is for $1 million, with Jacobson suing for defamation of character, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Lisa Stebic has still not been found.
