WKBN Anchor Resigns Over Nude Photos
Catherine Bosley, a news anchor for 10 years at WKBN in Youngstown, was used to having her picture taken.
However, someone took pictures of her in 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.
