Fox Anchor Jodi Applegate Set To Announce Shocking Family Secret ON AIR

The New York Post's Michael Starr reports that Jodi Applegate, former MSNBC and NBC personality and veteran of local morning broadcasts across the country (including New York's "Good Day New York," where she currently anchors) is set to announce a shocking family secret on the air tomorrow:

Applegate's mother, Margaret, died in 1981 of breast cancer when Jodi was only 17. When she passed away, a family secret was supposed to have gone with her.

"In late 1963, she found herself pregnant and not married, which was a real scandal in those days, especially if you were Irish-Catholic," says Applegate, especially in Wheeling, W. Va.

"She hid her pregnancy, disappeared for several months and returned with a baby she said she'd gotten at an orphanage.

"She said, 'I'm going to keep her and adopt her' . . . It was a story that allowed her to live in that town and go to that church."

Applegate grew up believing she was adopted. Eventually, her mother married, but never had any more children.

Read the entire article, including how Jodi found out the truth and why she's going public, here at the New York Post website.
Applegate is also the anchor seen publicly scolding bike thief pranksters who pretended to be injured during an on-air demonstration here.

So. What.

[ENK727]

The people in her mother's town must have been really stupid. A young woman leaves and comes back with a baby she says she mysteriously picked up in an orphanage and everyone bought that story!! lol...

[rzan]

The actress Loretta Young had an affair with Clark Gable and got pregnant. She disappeared for awhile and came home with an "adopted" baby. Everybody bought it.

[JaundicedEye]

Until young Judy grew up to look exactly like her dad.

[ylpatriot]

back in "those" days that was the cure... the girl left town, always a somewhat suspicious story about why she left ... But I must say they usually came back alone sans baby ... and everybody speculated and knew the whys .......


On this story .... shrugging shoulders, who give a damn ? I dont and I dont find this news.

[wavydavy]

Who gives a rat's ass?

[raker]

I remember when Jodi Applegate looked and spoke like a real person. She was very appealing. Was she snatched and replaced with a Fox newsbot? Looks like it. Complete with an icky personal story to exploit.

[mediamarv]

Looks extremely qualified to use the Fox newsroom pole like a professional!!!

[BOBONDE]

ONE NICE THING ABOUT FOX IS THE NICE WOMEN THERE, THEY DONT CUT THEIR HAIR SO THEY LOOK LIKE MEN, NO POINTED SIDEBURNS.

[Hagrid]

Yeah,
one exception, they should have poles, on stages, rather than newsdesks.

[ProfessorDuh]

Good one.

[Igglesbee]

Yes, because hairstyle is very important to journalistic integrity. Evolve, will ya please?

[SpoxLogic]

Hell. I thought she was gonna say that her motehr was really Black, or that her father was Black.
..Cheez...
Now there's 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back...

NEWS FLASH! Jodi Applegate changes her shocking disclosure with the following statement.

HOT OFF THE PRESSES:

I wanna be a Ho!

Are you a female high school dropout, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five?...Are you tired of lying around in bed all day with nothing to do? Well. you never need get up again, because in six short weeks I can train you to be high paying ho...Just think-fifteen hundred dollars a week, without even leading the comfort of your own bedroom.. Sound too good to be true?

Just send for my new book, "I Wanna Be a Ho." Velvet Jones follow-up publications included "I Wanna Drive a Pink Cadillac, Wear Diamond Rings and Kick Women in the Butt." (his how to be a Pimp guidebook); The Velvet Jones Harlequin Romance series featuring Velvet Love and Kicked in the Butt by Love ("I knew in an instant that the three dollars I had spent on wine would not go to waste."); and an exciting new videocassette The Exercises of Love marketed with these telling word

"Yes, it's all here: the squatting, the thrusting, the grunting and the groaning. Take it from Velvet, these are exercises you will want to watch again and again."

From "I Wanna Be a Ho" - On a classic skit on NBCs SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE Eddie Murphy portrayed Velvet Jones, a supposed educator from the Velvet Jones School of Technology.

Who cares?

[HatingTheGame]

This is like that Jack Nicholson story of him being convinced that his "elder sister" was actually his mother, and his parents were actually his grandparents. He found this out in 1974, after both his sister (mother) and mother (grandmother) had died. He never found out who the father was because they never told him -- but being brought up in a strict Catholic household I am sure there was a lot of silence around the sins of ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Nicholson

Now that's an interesting story. Its about Jack "I'm here to see your daughter" Nicholson. Not some dimwitted bubble butted broad on Faux. Who gives flying f*uck.

[southernlib]

Believe it or not, the same traumatic experience happened to Bobby Darin and Ted Bundy. I guess this "elder sister" thing was a popular ruse.

[Janet Carter]

I've never even heard of her. Who cares who her daddy is??

[pkafin]

Someone please explain to me why someone would go to a church that requires one to lie to get in the door.

[lewes17266]

good comment and funny too

[NC2NJ]

I am waiting for the rest of the story... Shit, I thought they were going to say that Barack Obama was her daddy!! LMAO!!! This story is such a waste of space. I expected more from HP!!

[LAShores]

This is the worst story I've ever read on HufoPo. I mean it's absolutely pointless. It's absurdly pointless. Why would anyone care about Jodi (whoever-the-hell-she-is) and her damn family. I could understand if she was going to say that her family killed 27 people (One just for snoring too loud) but she didn't.
HuffPo, you are better than this!
