Barbara Ciara Jewelry

Barbara Ciara a news anchor for WTKR 3 a CBS affiliate that broadcasts in parts of Virginia and North Carolina has sadly found herself defending her on-air style. Not her reporting style but her fashion style. That’s right, a viewer recently criticized her for her choice of jewelry.

The man emailed the station saying, “All the feminine reporters and anchors wear little to no jewelry but Ciara wears the most important and worst jewelry I even have ever seen, please have her play by all the same rules as everyone else”.

Barbara clapped back on her Facebook page, chastising the person for watching her style rather than the news and even finished her response with “#beenaroundtoolongtobebullied”.
Now a replacement report reveals that the creator of the “biggest and worst jewelry” is really former anchor Robyn Robinson. Ironically, her Minneapolis-based jewelry line ROX is designed with on-air talent in mind.

The pieces are bold so they won’t disappear onscreen. ROX has appeared at New York Fashion Week and is worn by media professionals and celebrities, including Sanaa Lathan. Barbara Ciara’s “ugly” jewelry is simply one among many recent cases of female news reporters being trolled for his or her on-air style and, sadly, sometimes even their bodies.
