Meet Amy Jacobson, a former NBC-5 news reporter who was involved in a controversy over her bikini video being shot at the home of the husband of a missing woman, whom she was investigating. The bikini video was aired by a rival news station. See video and a biography of Amy Jacobson here.

A Chicago-based NBC reporter who sued CBS for airing a controversial video of her in a bikini is winning her battle against the media giant.

Amy Jacobson, who once worked for Chicago’s NBC channel 5 news, filed a lawsuit against a local CBS-owned station, WBBM, on channel 2, for airing a six-minute video of her in a bikini at a house of a man whose wife mysteriously disappeared. The video showed Jacobson and her children attending a pool party on July 6, 2007 at Craig Stebic’s home. At the time, Jacobson had been covering the April 2007 disappearance of Stebic’s estranged wife, Lisa, according to the lawsuit filed by her attorney.

The video allegedly cost Jacobson her job, and the paycut forced her and her husband to sell their "dream" home, the suit read. The suit also said that the negative publicity from the footage made it impossible for Jacobson to find a new job.
Associate Cook County Judge Elizabeth Budzinski upheld four of Jacobson’s eight counts, dismissed three without prejudice (which allows for re-filing of the case in the future) and dismissed just one count.

Amy was with her children at the time the video was shot from a neighbor’s house in July 2007. She was investigating the missing case of Lisa Stebic and was shot scantily clad in a bikini at her husband Craig Stebic’s place. Now, Amy is suing the news station CBS-2’s WBBM-TV for airing the tape and has won the initial round by getting a ruling handed down by a Cook County judge.

“The statements made by the CBS reporters during the broadcast regarding Jacobson are capable of being proven true or false. Thus these statements are actionable.”

The controversy raged back then as Amy had used adultery to obtain news story from the husband of a missing woman and she was fired by the network over this issue.
