CNBC EX-ANCHOR LOSING GRIP

A FORMER news anchor for CNBC has become unhinged after four years of being off the air. Bonnie Behrend, who worked for CNBC from 1998 to 2001, has sent rambling, demented e-mails to NBC head Bob Wright, accusing him of ruining her life by condoning rampant sexual harassment.

"You helped kill my father . . . Your goons frightened my mother," she wrote to Wright.

The e-mails were cc'ed to industry power players, including Fox New Channel head Roger Ailes, Court TV head Henry Schlieff, power agent Richard Leibner and Mayor Bloomberg.

The first e-mail, titled "How Dare You — Part One," raged: "Pay up, Bob, for the damage you caused my life . . . You shattered my life, career and family . . . I just caught you conspiring with other network executives and talent agencies to keep me out of work."

Behrend charged that two other anchors sexually harassed her and that when she told on them, the network did nothing.

"I have given you years to correct the behaviors, respond appropriately and correct this situation," Behrend wrote.

In another e-mail titled, "Fix This," Behrend blared in huge bold capital letters: "Bob, undo the damage you have done to my life and career now. Unpoison my friendships now. Resurrect my opportunities now. Call ABC and Fox and Richard Leibner and Henry Schlieff and Roger Ailes and tell them how much you appreciate me and my work. Tell them you think it is a very good idea if I get back on the air somewhere now!!"

On her Web site, Behrend writes: "Occasionally, reality and the memories of what happened at CNBC come screaming back, at which time I send out a rash of e-mails to those who might want to know the answer to the $77,000 (that's what NBC offered to keep me quiet) question or spam my friends and contacts for jobs or shout out to those who might be able to help right the wrongs of a big, bad giant with a Civil Rights wart on its nose. Most days, I'm the happiest broke and homeless person I know."

One person familiar with the situation said: "[Behrend] has had a hard time getting another job since she left CNBC and every time she gets a 'no,' she gets increasingly bitter towards her former employer."

A rep for Wright and CNBC said: "Ms. Behrend left our employment almost four years ago. She subsequently filed a meritless lawsuit. Her claims were dismissed by the court and cannot be re-filed."

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

What did she claim in her lawsuit? Was it the usual?

[ladtx]

[Wright Wing]

Wow..the nut case has a home page where she states as much. Spooky

[Enterprise]

Perhaps she can get a waitress job somewhere.

"Ms. Behrend left our employment almost four years ago. She subsequently filed a meritless lawsuit. Her claims were dismissed by the court and cannot be re-filed."

So it's past getting a good lawyer, now she needs a good strong prescription.

She didn't become unhinged, she has always been unhinged and that's why she was fired. When you are too far left for the left you are indeed loony.

[gridlock]

Pretty sad when not being on CNBC can ruin your life...

[clintonh8r]

Seems well-qualified to me....

[DCPatriot]

You want some great examples of narcissistic behavior??

Got to www.bonniebehrend.com

This babe obviously can't understand that her looks don't open doors and opportunities for her anymore.

Halfway through her homepage you see all the evidence and reasons for her predicament.

[redherring]

Maybe she can join the blondes on Fox News.

[Enterprise]

Hooters is always hiring.

[clee1]

Insane is as insane does.

Liberalism IS a mental disorder.

[Born Conservative]

Only the best neighborhoods for this homeless blond. I sleep in luxurious sheets or cozy attic bedrooms, on leather sofas and sometimes I have even kept myself from nodding off at the wheel with a few hours sleep in the back of my 1999 Jeep Cherokee. I walk among the magnificent mountains in Aspen, Colorado and warm sunshine in Southern California, true gifts from God. Ocean waves, clean sandy beaches, clear mountain air, friends and friends of friends without whom I would literally be under a bridge. From here, I sit, write and work and reflect on what really matters in life and know I have it all.

Mentally unhinged? Nahhhhh....

[jigsaw]

Her Highness.

[Kace]

I heard there was an opening left by Rita....for the Fox News job, not the Hooter's one...

[new cruelty]

hubba hubba hubba

[Enterprise]

Well, maybe they can end up working at Hooters together!

[Enterprise]

Nothing like tasty buffalo wings.

[Tuba Guy]

Just another lib-media loser

(.... click on "loser" for website)

[new cruelty]

That is the only reason I go to Hooters. : )

[Paradox]

Sexual harrassment DOES happen. When I was dating my wife, it happened to her, but THIS is how you handle it...

An employee (The business owners OWN SON) had been sorta buggin her, but nothing bad, but one day,he made a move on her, and kissed her. She slapped his face, HARD. She went to the owners office, threatened hell and high water (the owner was very apologetic), but after all that quit the job, on the spot. She was a single mother of two at the time, so she really needed the job, but not THAT bad.

Look at her eyes. Somebody should have seen this coming. For the love of God, get this poor trollop a straight jacket and let her have a few volts to the forehead.

[Jaysun]

Oops!

[finnman69]

I see a Playboy pictorial in her future.

[Hildy]

This woman needs help. I really hope she gets it.

If this were a film on Lifetime, isn't this when Bonnie would seduce some high school boy, and talk the kid into shooting Wright to prove his love?

[Paradox]

Sounds like a job for TheSmokingGun.com

[SpaceBar]

I perused the website. I'd suggest she take advantage of her homeless status and check herself into a psych ward.

[Jaysun]

"The Dallas Chamber Orchestra and a 30-member choir serenaded families and friends through a pew-side view of my 50-pound, $10,000 Arnold Scassi beaded gown. Our vows, mic’d and meant for the videotape, joined together his, mine and their words for 45 blasted minutes. Bridesmaids and Mothers. Society press and ushers. International guests and disappointed exes. Baggage, busses, flag football, parties and prejudices."

Did you read her vomit-inducing wedding ballyhoos?

[gridlock]

Why would CBNC want a fake blond Maria Bartiromo when they already have the real thing?

[RexBeach]

I took a look at Bonnie's website. She is bananas. No doubt.

[babble-on]

Reading between the lines it looks like she made that classic mistake and married a rich gay guy. (now a broadway producer, he designed her earrings, he made all the planning decisions on the wedding etc.)

[Lekker 1]

Before I say the following, I will put on my asbestos underwear...

I just checked out her website, an I thought it was extremely clever. She has a very entertaining writing style. I am not sure if she is really that far off reality, but it seems like more of a schtick to me.

That's typical of mentally ill girls. On a side note, I've always been told that sickies like her will boink your brains out. It has something to do with their lack of self control.

[babble-on]

She was very attractive when she was younger. The botox is not helping, but her augmented boobs are surely impressive.
Wait, was I being sexist, you were saying something about her writing?

[Lekker 1]

Yeah, judging from her website, she certainly has a love affair with herself. There must be dozens of portraits of her on there.

[Nonstatist]

It doesent seem like a shtick to me. Her obsessive writing style and attention to trivial detail and most of all her focus on herself is very disturbing. Most everything comes back to how she's been harmed by others and even her social commentary seems self involved.

She is the scorned woman from Hell.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I took a look at Bonnie's website. She is bananas. No doubt.

She is out of her ever lovin' mind. There is something hopelessly desperate about a woman who plasters her self portraits all over her website.

Note to Bonnie: Lay off the collagen.

[Petronski]

I remember her. She had a very annoying aire about her on camera.

And now she's gone batty. Too bad so sad.

[Petronski]

Nothing like tasty buffalo wings.

But if we're talking about Hooters, I'm going to suggest a change to your quote:

Nothing like nasty buffalo wings.

[Goodgirlinred]

Rita?

[military cop]

Damn.

It's obvious.

There's snakes and midgets with knives dancing in her eyes.

Couldn't he just check with Delta's lost luggage office?

[Goodgirlinred]

Yipes. Where is the love?

[DCPatriot]

Yes, I read almost all of it until my stomach started churning.

It's an example of God's sense of humor....to give such a hottie a vacuum between her ears.
