ns8401 941 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Unless some photos and/or a video pops up, there really isn't enough proof of anything for anyone to cause a stink over. Aside from a few negative posts on her Facebook page, most people seem to not care. ABC 7 is really invested in her it seems, so unless an avalanche of evidence were to be produced, this will blow over. Well if folks are trying hard enough somebody will get a picture, but I agree (and hope) it blows over.

Chicago News Boy 34 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Makes sense, ns8401. I was the same way. I was just clarifying who Sharp (being married meaning) was that's all because I knew the public would start speculating right away. I agree. It's none of my business. Cheryl Scott's page has already been flooded with nasty comments. To me, that's nobodys place or business. It has nothing to do with her job. People need to worry about them.

She shouldn't be attacked for that. All that matters is that her forecast is accurate and that the hawks win. The people throwing stones probably live in glass houses anyways...

Jase 1047 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 WLS didn't shy away from briefly mentioning (some of) the Patrick Sharp rumors and his response to said rumors during tonight's 10P newscast. Hopefully, this will be the end of it. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12602-the-definitive-abc-7-thread/page/38/#findComment-124351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 1047 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I assume they didn't include Scott in that... I was watching but on the stream so I missed sports... No...just rumors about him being traded and his relationship with teammates and the like. No media outlet (TV or print) that I have seen/read has gone beyond that (meaning...no mention of Scott or anything else of a personal nature). I would assume it will stay that way.

alex979 119 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Here's what she posted this morning... "Some think they have the right to "write" just anything. Let me say this... RUMORS will never be truth. I feel bad for anyone who has had to go through a time when their world was interrupted because of hateful, negative words. Let's all remember, we WRITE our OWN stories!

While you're both mostly right in that it's nobody's business, I feel it is her employer's business. I say that because how you act in your personal life affects your image, which many times affects your station's image. I believe a lot of news people have clauses in their contracts stating such and as grounds for termination.

It's a rumor now and should have no bearing on her employment status unless it becomes fact. I agree people need to worry about their own lives, but it's part of the territory when you become a public figure, whether it's fair or not.

It was kind of a bizarrely worded deflection, but I still really don't think there's anything to see here.

nynewslover 277 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Her response to comments on a facebook post: I'm not skating by any issue. There is no truth to the rumor. ZERO! It's sad some have to dabble in people's personal lives with false information. I'm sorry you all have to hear such nonsense too. It's not fair to anyone.

The only thing we can do... is stay true to who we are... Move on... &... chin up! First, I am surprised she posted (or was allowed to post) anything at all. Management/PR probably should have stepped in and came up with a simple response and posted that on FB, Twitter, etc... While I get you want to, in your own words, defend yourself, that may not be the best decision. These posts make her sound somewhat defensive and deflective. I fear this situation isn't going away anytime soon.

nynewslover 277 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 See i don't know the whole situation (whether they're friends or if someone just started a rumor) but either way she's being more vocal than others in this situation. That makes me believe nothing happened. IF something did happen and she was being this vocal in denying it she'd be screwed in trying to clear it up and would never work in a major market again. Rumors like this ruin people it's not fun trust me I know no matter how big or small. It sucks and people should stop.

Rumors like this ruin people it's not fun trust me I know no matter how big or small. It sucks and people should stop. Basically, what we have here is ONE website with absolutely no journalistic credibility at all, that has the word "mockery" in its title, cited four unnamed sources that they claim were credible and "vetted." It was also reported in the article that Sharp had an affair with a teammate's wife, which seems highly implausible for a number of reasons. Oh, and the author of the article is identified only as "Windycityfan." But, thanks to Twitter, this person's "reporting" gets attention.
