Brianna Hamblin has a problem most women would envy: she is blessed with striking beauty and light eyes that make her irresistible to men.
Hamblin’s beauty is a blessing and a curse. She complains that she is constantly getting hit on by men at work in the field.
Hamblin is a reporter for Spectrum Local News in Rochester, NY, formerly CBS19.
Despite not dressing provocatively, and not wearing too much makeup, Hamblin is constantly getting hit on.
She took to Twitter to explain her dilemma:
“Being hit on and harassed as a woman, especially as a woman reporter out in the field, happens so often you learn how to roll with it or ignore it. This time it happened to be recorded only seconds before my hit. There are A LOT of things wrong with this.”
The video, which includes profanity, is going viral on Twitter.
Hamblin gets cat calls from men even though her cameraman, Scott Barstow, is standing right there.
Scott empathized with Hamblin.
As the photographer that works with you everyday all I can say is it hurts to see this. I’m sorry I stood there while you have to hear that. This isn’t the first time you have heard this. I would say more like the 50th. I know it’s easy for me to say but it’s only words. 1/2

2.”Oh, men these days just can’t give compliments.” No. The first man’s “you look nice” as he continued to walk away is fine. It’s the 2nd man who took this to another disgusting level it didn’t need to be.

3.The audacity of the things men say to me never ceases to amaze me. What makes you think women want to be talked to that way? In no way is this endearing. It’s uncomfortable. It’s gross.

Let me be the first to apologize on behalf of respectful men everywhere
