Wife Of Back9Network's CEO Has Edgy Advice Video Removed

Alarming stuff from Connecticut courtesy of reader DGS.

Kelly Glista's Hartford Courant story says Back9Network--a fledgling online-only golf television network--posted an inappropriate video to their website that has since been removed. But the video isn't the alarming part. Not that it sounds like it would have been up for an Emmy, what with the wife of the CEO, Jennifer Bosworth, doing male advice with sexually explicit content and fat jokes and some truly wretched material. (I've posted it below...I may never make fun of the Big Break ever again. Well, at least for the rest of 2013).

Anyway, the really horrifying part? Back9 has received over $5 million in state developmental funds from Connecticut.

"We are evaluating our internal approval process to ensure this does not happen again and apologize to those who viewed it and were offended by it," the Back9 statement said. "It is not indicative of the Back9Network brand and quality of content we are creating for our target golf lifestyle audience."

Back9Network launched in July 2012, and has since developed a $1.3 million headquarters in Hartford's Phoenix Building at One American Row.

According to the state's transparency website, Back9Network has received a total of $5,450,000 in loans and grants from the Department of Economic and Community Development in the last two fiscal years.
A DECD statement issued Wednesday said: "It's appropriate that Back9 has apologized — the content in question was inappropriate and offensive. We hope and expect they will hold themselves to a higher standard in the future."

To think this was the cleaner content courtesy of Woven and from the CEO's wife. The Back9 YouTube page does not include the content. Pure class.
