In a recent incident, meteorologist Clara Jensen received an unsolicited email that criticized her appearance, including her clothing and accessories, after she wrapped up her Saturday shift at a local TV station in Seattle. The viewer, who claimed not to want to be harsh, spent considerable time detailing observations that had nothing to do with Clara’s role as a meteorologist, as reported by News Today.
The anonymous sender expressed dissatisfaction about Clara’s outfit, stating, “I’m not trying to be rude, but it looks like you just came from a night out!” It’s worth noting that Clara selects her outfits independently, as many local news anchors do—not every station has a stylist on hand.
Further, the email continued with suggestions for Clara to adopt a more “understated and conservative” style. A glance at a photo of Clara shows a professional look that is not only stylish but appropriate for her role. It’s important to mention that most of her body is covered, except for her arms, which is quite reasonable given the hot studio lights.
The email included a lengthy tirade about various aspects of her appearance, saying, “I was almost shaken to the core by what I saw this early on a Saturday morning!” If someone is genuinely that rattled by a person’s outfit, perhaps they should rethink their priorities.
Many women in journalism, including Clara, are accustomed to receiving unsolicited advice regarding their looks. Former anchor Jenna Rivers shared in her own blog how she often encountered criticism about her appearance rather than her reporting skills. “I rarely received feedback on my actual forecasting,” Jenna noted, mirroring Clara’s experience.
In a classy response, Clara reminded her viewer that her focus is on delivering accurate and understandable weather forecasts. She shared an Instagram post about the email, stating, “I was feeling WAY TOO GOOD about myself today to NOT reply to this nasty email. If anyone has more thoughts on my ‘underarm fat,’ I welcome them.” The sender later responded, confused by Clara’s reaction to their so-called “constructive criticism.”
Way to go, Clara! It’s essential for viewers to understand that a professional woman doesn’t need your unsolicited opinions about her appearance. Remember, as the saying goes, if you can’t say something nice, it’s better to keep quiet.
