Reporter Strikes Back At Holly Madison
April 8th, 2009
A Las Vegas television reporter who made headlines when Holly Madison took a swipe at her on her blog, has fired back saying she was “stating a fact” when she said Madison was a bad interview.
Hugh Hefner’s ex wrote a message on her MySpace detailing her encounter with Alicia Jacobs, explaining that their interview went well until she learned Jacobs had posted a nasty message on Twitter about her.
The reporter posted the following message on her blog, putting forward her side of the story:
“Statement on conflict with Holly Madison
It’s not my style to engage in this kind of repartee. I do not believe in tearing down anyone in order to further my career. I treat everyone with complete respect & that was not shown to me from Holly, as is evident in her very unkind words.
Obviously, Holly & I are very different people, who have chosen very different paths in life. She has made a “career” out of dissing other women to get to the top. My body of work speaks for itself.
It is my job to report on entertainment & inform my viewers. I do so with my on-air segments, via my blog, & on Twitter. Holly Madison was honestly not a very good interview, I was stating a fact. It was not a personal attack.
Perhaps it was just a very emotional day for her, or perhaps it was her inexperience, (her publicist later explained that she is not quite as media-savvy as most of his other clients). My comments were meant to inform & promote the upcoming Hugh Hefner story—mission definitely accomplished.
Once again, I wish Holly luck with her future & her career.”
