Amy Jacobson, the former anchor for Chicago's NBC affiliate WMAQ-Ch. 5, has filed a $1 million lawsuit against CBS affiliate WBBM-Ch. 2 Tuesday.
Jacobson is seeking more than $1 million in damages from WBBM-Ch. 2 parent CBS, Channel 2 boss Joe Ahern and others, complaining that a tape it aired of her in a bikini swimsuit at the home of a potential news source in July 2007 subjected Jacobson to "enormous public humiliation and disgrace."
Jacobson wound up losing her TV job and, eventually, her home. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Jacobson, her husband Jaime Anglada and their two children, all of whom alleged to have "suffered from observing the devastating effects on the person they love most."
Jacobson claims that she was on the way with her two children to swim in Chicago's East Bank Club before she detoured to the home of Craig Stebic, whose wife Lisa Stebic had vanished two months earlier, at the invitation of Stebic's sister, who was in town. Lisa Stebic is still missing to this day.
Jacobson was pictured in a bikini swimsuit as she swam with Stebic and her two children. The picture implied that Jacobson was having an affair with Stebic in order to further the story of his missing wife Lisa.
Jacobsen had worked at WMAQ-Ch. 5 from 1996 to 2007. Prior to joining WMAQ, Jacobsen worked at WJBK-TV in Detroit; KVIA-TV in El Paso, Texas; KOLD-TV in Tucson, Arizona; and KSAX-TV in Alexandria, Minnesota.
The video of Jacobson's incident with Stebic is available on Yourfindit Videos.
