| Alysia Lane and Colleen Campbell |
Off camera, they can transform into the Vixens of Hell.
When the news ladies are mean and nasty they are really nasty.
Let us cite two examples:
former PHL 17’s foul-mouthed Colleen Campbell and KYW’s cop- punching, sex-pot Alysia Lane.
Lane, you might remember, had a torrid romance with fellow newsperson, Larry Mendte. He got into trouble with the law for hacking into her e-mails. But sweet Alysia got arrested in New York City for punching a female cop in the face and shouting: “I am a reporter! You fucking dyke bitch.”
Campbell was taken out of the Helium Comedy Club by a cop for being loud. The poor cop wanted to let Colleen go free but she had other things in mind. She used the F-word so often in her recorded tirade that we are embarrassed to quote more than one sentence of the five-minute rant: “Lick my
asshole mother f—ker.” Of course, Colleen also told the surprisingly calm cop that she was a TV reporter!
Both ranting reporters felt that once the cops knew they were exulted “celebrities” the officers would start quaking in fear. In fact, the charges were downgraded in court for both divas and they merely got a slap on the wrist.
Another disgrace involved Nichole Brewer, former KYW anchor and MISS AMERICA CONTESTANT! Yes, a celebrity and a bona-fide beauty! As far as we know, the pulchritudinous Miss Brewer never struck or cursed-out a cop, but she so-hated weather reporter, Carol Erickson that she hurled insults at Erickson on-air. Both ladies are now gone from KYW.
Is there something about Philly that turns sweet young women into nasty, aggressive creeps? We think our rough-edged city is not entirely culpable.
We believe being born pretty (or handsome) confers life-long privileges. Being special is magnified a thousand-fold when you become a TV “star” with a handsome salary. How can one avoid arrogance?
