We told you before how Philly news anchor Alycia Lane blamed Dr. Phil for her very public meltdown. She has always claimed that her interview with him, in which he turned the questions on her and she broke down about her own divorce, was deliberately leaked by her co-anchor to make her look bad. She said it was the start of a long and calculated campaign to ruin her.
Sound paranoid? Turns out, not.
Yesterday federal prosecutors charged Alycia's former co-anchor, Larry Mendte, with hacking into her e-mail hundreds of times and leaking information that led to her downfall.
That would include the famous bikini pics, among other things.
It's a felony, folks.
"The mere accessing and reading of privileged information is criminal," acting U.S. Attorney Laurie Magid told the Associated Press. "This case, however, went well beyond just reading someone's e-mail."
Uh, yeah.
