This News Anchor Was Called ‘Disgusting’ by Her Viewers Because of What She Looked Like

In July 2017, Laura Warren, a WRWD news anchor in Augusta, Georgia, picked up her phone and got the worst critique possible. But it wasn’t about her performance on camera. It was about how she looked. But after she recovered from the shock, she did something that left her viewers flabbergasted.

A Voice Message Left Her Shaken

In a time where the media’s integrity is called into question, Augusta, Georgia’s WRWD news anchor Laura Warren thought she had heard it all. And then someone left her a voice message that left her questioning everything.

She Was a Thick-Skinned Journalist

Warren considered herself a “thick-skinned journalist,” according to Allure. So negative comments about her didn’t usually faze her. But this was different because she wasn’t her usual self at all, and that was the reason she was targeted.

She Was Pregnant and Loving It

It turns out that Warren was an expectant mom and a working gal, too. In fact, she had a blog called “Bump, Baby, and Breaking News” so she could share her thoughts as her first pregnancy progressed. But one post left her followers in tears.

Expecting a Child Was Pretty Stressful

On her blog, Warren wrote, “Being pregnant is already one of the most emotional, insecure times of your life. Am I gaining too much weight? Am I gaining enough weight? Is my bump too high? Is my bump too low?” But insecurities were the least of her problems.
