The former mistress of handsome newsman Chris Hansen is breaking her silence with her first video interview, speaking out about the double standard against women she says exists in broadcast television. She's also provided photographic proof of her romantic relationship with Hansen -- and RadarOnline has the exclusive.
In the candid interview, she also says that if she can't work because of their affair, then Hansen also should not be allowed to work. Kristyn Caddell , a former on-air reporter, has worked at two stations since she was outed in as the Dateline NBC star's secret lover, but has not been able to hold down any of the gigs with the shadow of the Hansen affair looming over her.
The women get fired and the men keep going. She says he led her to believe his year marriage to wife Mary Joan was on its last legs, so he was free to date other women. What happened next was a steamy four-month affair, during which Hansen flew her all over the country and the pair stayed in luxurious hotels.
There are plenty of people who in this business who have committed crimes who are still on TV… I make one personal mistake and I am considered a worthless human being. Caddell supplied RadarOnline. Until now, all two-timing Hansen -- best known for catching Internet sex perverts on To Catch a Predator -- had said about the affair was that the reports were "full of hurtful lies.
Hansen may have to explain this, then: In one of the exclusive images, the cad is snapped passionately kissing Caddell on a public street. In another , the attractive blonde is gazing up at her lover as they posed for a photograph on a boat. A third image shows the pair dining at a restaurant. Charged his ex-mistress: "I was misled. I believed him and I cared about him, on top of all of that. After "taking the high road," Caddell said she she's come forward to RadarOnline.
