The La Crosse, Wisconsin TV news anchor who chided a viewer on the air for being a “bully” after he e-mailed her that her weight made her a poor role model appeared on Good Morning America Wednesday to address the ongoing controversy, after the 4-minute segment went viral.

As we previously reported, the letter's author, identified as Kenneth Krause, told WKBT-TV anchor Jennifer Livingston that her "physical condition hasn't improved for many years" and she shouldn't consider herself "a suitable example for this community's young people, girls in particular."

Livingston, 37, told GMA that while working in the public eye, she's used to e-mails filled with criticism, but in this case, she took Krause's attack personally.

"Calling me obese is one thing: calling me a bad role model for our community that I've worked at for 15 years -- and especially for young girls when I have three girls -- was a low blow, and I thought it was uncalled for, and I wanted to call him out on it," she explained.
