Joan Lunden Exposes TV Bosss Shocking Proposition

Legendary Good Morning America host Joan Lunden made a shocking revelation about her early days in television.

The 75-year-old media personality revealed that one of the early bosses in her career had romantically propositioned her and punished her by keeping her off air after she turned him down.

The television icon wrote about the early stages of her career on New York's WABC-TV Eyewitness News, which she joined in 1975 where she co-anchored weekend newscasts, in her new memoir Joan: Life Beyond the Script. 

During that period in her career, she had worked with a colleague - whom she refers to in the book as 'Ted' - that would help her edit her stories when things took an interesting turn as he invited her to a hang out on Fire Island off Long Island, New York.

'"You should come along, Joan," said Ted. "It will be a good opportunity for you to socialize with the rest of the team,"' she wrote in the book via People. 

'Not having any close friendships in the newsroom, I was concerned that I would feel awkward and uncomfortable, like a tagalong. With some encouragement, I agreed to go. I’d never been to the famed Fire Island before. I’d heard that no cars were allowed on the island, so you had to take a ferry to get there.'

However, when she and 'Ted' arrived to the home where the gathering was supposed to take place on Fire Island there were only two others there - a local WCBS reporter and his girlfriend - then she realized that it was an attempt at an overnight double-date.

She admitted being 'embarrassed' and 'naive' that she had been roped into the situation in addition to being 'offended' that her superior thought they could get away with pulling the wool over her eyes.
