Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleBiographical thriller Primetime, featuring Robert Pattinson, has brought the infamous extramarital affair of Chris Hansen back into the spotlight. Chris is a veteran television journalist who gained prominence by hosting To Catch a Predator, a show where he documented his efforts to catch online predators through sting operations and other tactics. His career suffered a brief jolt after he was exposed for having an affair with TV newswoman Kristyn Caddell, but he eventually bounced back.
But what about Kristyn? Could she rebuild her life after her relationship with Chris was publicly disgraced? Here's a look at her stance regarding the affair and her whereabouts following her termination from her job due to the scandal.
Where is Kristyn Caddell now? Her whereabouts explored since her affair with a married Chris Hansen was exposed
After Chris Hansen was exposed for having an affair with TV newswoman Kristyn Caddell, she opened up about the negative impact it had on her life and her career. According to an exclusive report by Radar Online, she was almost blacklisted from the television news industry after a picture of Chris kissing her was publicized by media outlets. She was really mad that she had to face a more severe outcome when the father of two was equally responsible for the immorality, if not more.
Kristyn Caddell wanted Chris Hansen to also be blackballed from the industry if she was to face such a harsh consequence. According to her, it takes two to tango, and it was unfair that fingers were pointed only at her because she was a woman. Kristyn argued that the media industry ran on a "double standard" and mentioned:
"No matter what your philosophy is on someone who has an affair, if it was the man's or the woman's fault, there are two people involved, and if I can't work, he should not be able to work. I have lived the double standard…a double standard is an understatement as to what happens in this industry. The women get fired, and the men keep going."
Kristyn was a news reporter at NBC affiliate WPTV when she first met the 22-years-older Chris Hansen. After a steamy four-month affair, it got exposed, and she got sacked. Since then, she struggled for years to find a stable job. She worked at a Seattle, Washington, station and then moved to the NBC affiliate KSNV-Channel 3 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she was on-air until mid-2013. Notably, none of these jobs lasted for long.
It was only in 2014 that Kristyn Caddell finally felt she could get her footing back in the media industry when she was hired by Orlando's ABC affiliate WFTV Channel 9. The path to a stable job was rough, but she was determined to "keep fighting" for what she wanted to do and be. Kristyn worked with them for a year and then shifted to freelance broadcasting, focusing on investigative verification and network field production. In her words:
"I'm going to keep fighting for what I want to do. I'm a journalist, and that's what I'll always be."
It was the last reported update on Kristyn Caddell, and since then she has preferred privacy and lived a low-key life. Nothing about her current whereabouts, including whether she got married, is publicly known.
