A flap over a Philadelphia TV newswoman e-mailing pictures of herself in a bikini to the anchor of the National Football League's network has spilled over into the gossip columns.
KYW-TV newswoman Alycia Lane has told The Philadelphia Inquirer the vacation pictures were meant to be good fun between old friends, not an attempt to break up sports anchor Rich Eisen's four-year-old marriage.
The New York Post has reported on the flap in a gossip column on Tuesday. It says Eisen's wife, ABC sports reporter Suzy Shuster, got the e-mails in an account she shares with Eisen, and responded with a snarky letter to Lane.
"Anyway, sorry but those seven e-mails you sent to my husband, Rich, well, oops, they came to the e-mail address we both use from time to time, but no worries, I'll forward the beach shots as well as the ones of you dancing with your friends on to his main address. Do you have it?"
Lane said she's "mortified" by the whole story. She calls the photos part of the "harmless" banter between "two old friends."
"I don't want to hurt his marriage," Lane, recently divorced a second time, told the Inquirer in Wednesday's editions. "I'm not looking for
(love) with a married man. I have been the married girl who was cheated on."
Lane said she and Eisen have corresponded frequently since meeting nearly 10 years ago when she worked at a station in New York and Eisen worked for the ESPN sports network in Bristol,
Connecticut.
Seth Palansky, a spokesman for NFL Network, said that neither Eisen nor his wife wished to comment Wednesday.
The Alycia Lane bikini photos may be the most sought after pics of a newscaster in sometime.
And now the world waits to see who has the seven photos and if they will hit the World Wide Web. - AP - ArtsyStuff |
