Woman sues TV station over obesity programme

TV bosses are facing a £10,000 lawsuit after filming a passer-by on the street for a documentary about obese people.

Gordana Knezic, 40, said she had no idea that Croatian station HTV were filming her as she shopped in the capital Zagreb .

She says she was horrified to see herself on TV later described as an example of an overweight person.

Programme-makers say they have already apologised. HTV spokesman Janos Roemer said: "We have been in contact with the lady concerned."

But Ms Knezic said she would still be taking them to court.

She said: "I was absolutely staggered when I turned on the TV to see myself in a film about fat people.

"It was terrible. An apology is not enough. I want to make a point with this legal case. I want to show that attacks on human dignity like this cannot be tolerated."

If she really is obese and the program filmers were just stating the obvious, why should she be so offended?
She seems very insecure with herself.

That doesn't change the fact that she was humiliated. It's like going up to someone with a scar on their face, one which they're insecure about, and bashing it in their faces saying, "HOLY COW! LOOK AT THAT BIG, UGLY, GROTESQUE SCAR ON YOUR FACE, WHOA!" you get the point.
