Pregnant Anchor Calls Out Haters

A pregnant Canadian anchor decided to deal with criticism about her belly by reading mean letters on-air.

The video of her calling out her haters is now going viral.

Kristi Gordon even wrote up a long article on her station's website about her experience, and the outpouring of support she is now getting for bringing the heckler to light.

"No matter how rational or confident you are, the mean things people say can have an impact. The negative thoughts seep in when you don't even realize it. Even a little joking comment could do some damage. Hopefully this can help us all be more aware of our impact on others," Gordon wrote.

So, for today's #9amtopic, we ask: Is this appropriate to deal with it on TV, or is it TMI?
