How a drunken night stop at the Apple Store cost an Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter his job & exposed his painful double life. Rob Koebel lost his Milwaukee TV job after being arrested for urinating outside of an Apple Store, then telling a cop, “Do you know who you’re messing with?”
In headlines from Milwaukee, WI, where the infamous incident occurred to the UK, Emmy award winning investigative journalist Rob Koebel talks about the event that wrecked his reporting career, how treatment helped stop him from drinking and how he looks back at the entire process. He shares his thoughts about the stigma that surrounds those with addiction and how he made it out. He has also made a movie about his experience.
“I really don’t recall a lot about that evening.” He adds that “what really set me off in a three-day drinking binge leading up to the arrest” were interviews by his former wife and HLN (formerly CNN Headline News) anchor Christi Paul did in Atlanta to promote her book, “Love Isn’t Supposed to Hurt.”
