Channel 10 presenter exposes on-air dress shaming

<p>Channel 10 presenter Narelda Jacobs has exposed a “humiliating” email she received from a viewer who commented on an outfit she wore on-air Tuesday. </p> <p>The Australian journalist, who hosts <em>10 News First</em>, wore a v-neck blouse and patterned blazer when she was reporting that day, when the unsolicited "feedback" came through. </p> <p>Jacobs shared a screenshot of the email that was sent to the Ten News group on Instagram. </p> <p>“Inappropriate dress sense for reading the news. Cleavage is for the nightclub,” the email read. </p> <p>Addressing the email, Jacobs began:  “Yes, we still receive emails like this. Yes, it went to the entire newsroom." </p> <p>“Yes, I was on air at the time. Yes, it is intended to shame and humiliate me," the 48-year-old added. </p> <p>“No, what I’m wearing is not inappropriate but your email sure is.”</p> <p>Followers took to the comments to back Jacobs, with fellow journalists sharing their own experience of receiving sexist criticism. </p> <p>Retired swimmer Giaan Rooney wrote:  “Yep. The number of emails the newsroom used to get attacking everything about my appearance when I was presenting the weather was incredible.” </p> <p><em>The Guardian</em> journalist Amy Remeikis recalled how “not that long ago” a woman felt that she had to “hide” her nine-year-old son from the TV when she was on-air.</p> <p>“Because he wanted to know why that woman (me) had ‘sex face’ and what my boobs were,” Remeikis wrote. “Had never seen breasts apparently, but could use the phrase ‘sex face’.”</p> <p><em>ABC Radio</em> host Yumi Stynes joked, “How dare you cleavage?” before complimenting Jacobs for her radiant look, while <em>Dessert Masters</em> judge Melissa Leong wrote, “File under ‘When you really hate yourself, so you decide to email random strangers to tell them.’”</p> <p>Comedian Janelle Koenig slammed the ‘feedback’ as “absolute insanity.”</p> <p>This comes after thousands attended <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/health/caring/it-s-up-to-men-anthony-albanese-joins-violence-against-women-rally" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rallies</a> in late April calling on the government to take action against the recent spate of acts of violence against women. </p> <p><em>Image: Instagram</em></p>

Steve Jacobs hit by AVO from wife Rose

Steve Jacobs’ sad announcement

<p>Former Channel Nine presenter Steve Jacobs took a huge risk last year when he left his job of 10 years and moved to Vanuatu with his wife and children, but unfortunately, that risk hasn’t paid off.</p> <p><em>The Sunday Telegraph</em>’s <a href="https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/channel-9-weatherman-steve-jacobs-splits-with-wife-rosie-after-almost-seven-years/news-story/4f16f1949aef41bec41f20e5a96cb415" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Confidential</span></strong></a> reports that after 11 years together, Steve, 51, and his wife Rosie, 39, have separated.</p> <p>“They’ve grown in different directions and want different things in life now,” a friend told the paper. “Steve and Rosie had such a public image of the perfect happy family but behind the scenes there were struggles that would put strain on even the best marriage.”</p> <p>The couple met in 2007 on the set of the Today show and married in 2010. They have two daughters together, six-year-old Isabella and four-year-old Francesca.</p> <p>The family chose to relocate to Vanuatu to escape their hectic schedules and busy city lives, explaining to <a href="http://www.news.com.au/travel/world-travel/pacific/steve-jacobs-from-today-on-why-his-family-moved-to-vanuatu/news-story/deaaea389ba242603ed90991d3916daa" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">news.com.au</span></strong></a> last year that holidaying to the South Pacific paradise had saved their marriage.</p> <p>“It was a decision they made in order to try to reconnect after too much time apart for so many years,” the couple's friend said of the split. “Sadly, it hasn’t worked and they separated last year – a decision that has been incredibly hard for them both but for the best in the long run.</p> <p>“They both love their children and neither of them regrets the move to Vanuatu. So many people give up on their relationships at the first sign of struggle but Steve and Rosie both tried really hard for a long time before reaching this point.”</p> <p>Jacobs was previously married to his childhood sweetheart, Allison.
