Who is Maggie Vespa? Maggie Vespa Biography and Wiki

Maggie Vespa is an American journalist who works as the weekend anchor and reporter covering general assignment issues at KGW in Portland, Oregon since 2014. Before joining KGW, she worked as a general assignment reporter and 9 p.m. anchor for KGUN (ABC-affiliate).

The anchor was born and raised in Illinois to supportive parents who made sure she adhered to her line of calling in the way she handled herself daily. Her passion for journalism began when she was still at a young age, watching the news every evening with her family in the living room.

As awkward as it was for a teenager to watch the news, Vespa was intrigued by how the presenters on her cable were enjoying their job. She especially wanted to become a reporter when she grew up as traveling is one of her hobbies, and the job entails a lot of traveling.

It is also safe to say that her mother contributed in some way to her love for the media industry. Her mom was also a journalist and Vespa saw her handle critics very well, thus, it did not ache her head when a social media troll commented awfully about her high waisted pants.

Maggie Vespa Pants | Wardrobe

From when she started appearing on television as a reporter and occasionally as an anchor, Vespa has always had high-waisted pants on. Learning from her former journalist mom, the KGW news anchor had a perfect answer for a viewer named Jeffrey who badly commented about her pants via her Facebook page.

The message from Jeffrey was, “Hi Maggie, just wanted to let you know that the clothes you’ve been wearing, especially those crazy pants that ride halfway up your torso, are not cool looking, in any way! They look ridiculous on you. Please change your wardrobe, you’re way too pretty to look so foolish.”

At first, Vespa ignored the man. Seeing no response from the anchor after a few days since his online bullying message, Jeffery went on to add, “OMG, you really looked uncomfortable tonight. Try dressing like a normal woman. Doesn’t KGW pay you enough for a wardrobe makeover?”

The second bully message must have pissed Vespa off as she responded this time around. She opted to wear different pants for five straight days and made sure it was the type of pants that her online bully hated the most. Her actions were not only meant to get back at Jeffery but also to encourage women all across the world to dress the way they love despite how people think or feel about their dressing.

Maggie Vespa Reporter

The news reporter and anchor began her TV career in her hometown of Peoria, Illinois. There, she worked as a reporter and weekend anchor at WEEK & WHOI, covering the stories that mattered most to her family & her community.

Maggie Vespa came to Portland by way of Tucson, Arizona, where she spent two years working as a general assignment reporter and 9 p.m. anchor for KGUN. While at KGUN, she covered every topic under the scorching desert sun.

Among her most memorable stories was when thousands of undocumented migrant children had been rounded up by the U.S. This made her become the first crew on the scene in the small border town of Nogales, Arizona, Customs & Border Patrol.

In addition to that, she spearheaded “Vanished”, a series that covered unsolved kidnapping cases across Arizona. Vespa’s work generated new leads in two such cases, both of which had been ice-cold for more than one decade. In December of 2014, she joined KGW, where she is employed up to date.

Vespa likes indulging herself in her hobbies which she never misses embarking on during her spare time. The activities include running, hiking and Italian cooking.

We kept filming. FYI- we choose what footage makes air later, & we can blur faces. This small group (one of whom is ID-ed as the spokesperson) don’t know or don’t care.” In a subsequent tweet, Vespa wrote, “[By the way], this was followed by the woman w/ the bullhorn yelling ‘We don’t want you here! We don’t trust you anyway!’ She’d held a press conference an hour prior.”
