Still, I'm glad I read Warrior -- I won't soon forget about a couple of the anecdotes she shared, and I hadn't heard them before. Inside Edition isn't really my thing, but I'm definitely interested in memoirs by women who've worked in sports journalism, so I wanted to give Warrior by Lisa Guerrero a try.

Lisa Guerrero Discusses Her Life In Sports EXCLUSIVE: Lisa Guerrero Discusses Her Life In Sports

This is a book about bravery. I decided to write it because every day I receive messages from viewers asking me how I’m able to fearlessly investigate and interview bad guys. They want to know where my courage comes from. And my answer contradicts everything journalists have been taught. But I’m not a typical journalist—I was never trained in a traditional newsroom. I didn’t receive a journalism degree. I didn’t even finish college. Casselberry, Ian (February 3, 2021). "Lisa Guerrero recounts her traumatic experience as Monday Night Football sideline reporter". Awful Announcing. Guerrero, Lisa (January 24, 2023). Warrior: My Path to Being Brave. Hachette Books. ISBN 978-0-306-82949-9. Finally, after months of chasing leads, we discovered where the three suspects were living: Charyse Geurts, the mom, had moved outside Green Bay, Wisconsin, while her ex-boyfriend Dustin Chauncey (who wasn’t the twins’ father) and the third adult, Brandon Townsend, had relocated to separate towns in Colorado. My bravery stems from pain. I feel the victims’ pain so acutely that I absorb their sorrow, rage, and frustration. Little Juliette was not another “dead baby.” I felt as though she were my niece too. Monica’s despair and anger were my despair and anger. I connect easily with survivors, no matter who they are and what they’ve gone through. Once that happens, I’m filled with empathy.

I’d nod and smile. I was part of a bloodline of brave and strong people. I loved being a warrior. It was like having a superpower Mom and I secretly shared. My producer, my cameraman, and I were relentless. We marched into the district attorney’s office while he hid from us. I confronted Mel Griggs, the Gering police chief. I found the treasure trove of old Beta tapes,’’ Guerrero said. “And I was really reluctant to look at them because I was so traumatized.” Former Playboy Cover Model Lisa Guerrero on Slobbering First Impression on Hugh Hefner". www.yahoo.com.

Guerrero also explained that her book touches on a lot of topics she hadn’t really gone in-depth on before. In particular, she takes on the misogyny, verbal abuse, and sexism that she endured being a woman in what was always traditionally known as ‘a man’s profession.’ During it all, she continued to move forward. When I take somebody on, I’m not doing it for myself. I’m the one on camera. But when I’ve heard, you know, a rape survivor’s story and it’s her swim coach that abused her from the time she was 8 to 13, then I feel like I’m being brave on behalf of her, right?” she said. “So, it makes me less nervous and afraid.” But getting in faces is what I’m known for. Although I race up to my subject and pepper them with questions, I’m completely calm. My blood pressure doesn’t go up. I don’t breathe heavily. In sports they call it being “in the zone”—everything moves in slow motion, and you envision the outcome before it happens. Walters, John (October 12, 2017). " 'Take Off Your Dress': How Men In Hollywood, From Steven Seagal to Harvey Weinstein, Treated Women for Decades". Yahoo. Guerrero revealed to The Post’s Andrew Marchand in 2021 that she dealt with suicidal thoughts after she faced a slew of ridicule in her one season on the “MNF” sidelines in 2003. Now, in a new memoir, entitled “Warrior,” the 58-year-old revealed that she had a miscarriage during one of the games near the end of that season.Your mom didn’t want to say goodbye to you. She was convinced she was going to get better,” my dad explained years later. As much as I couldn’t believe she’d leave me, Mom couldn’t believe it either. There are light-hearted moments in the book, too. There was that time, for example, she walked down a hotel hallway with broadcaster John Madden after a production meeting in a conference room. He swiped a cookie off a leftover room service tray. “Finders, keepers,’’ Madden explained with a smile. Fast forward a few years, and Guerrero has achieved phenomenal success as Inside Edition’s Chief Investigative Correspondent. Her stories have led to arrests, changed federal legislation and policies at Fortune 500 companies, and helped shine a light on crime, scams, child abuse, and even cold case murders. And in the last decade alone, she has won over thirty-five national journalism honors and awards. I was part of the reason he’d been arrested and charged with the murder of two-year-old Juliette Geurts. For more than six years, he’d escaped justice. In a few minutes, he’d finally receive it. This was astounding. I wasn’t some cop in an interrogation room wearing down a victim after hours of questioning—I was a reporter with a microphone. I had two witnesses throwing Dustin Chauncey under the bus. Townsend admitted on camera that Dustin had beaten the baby before.

SAN FRANCISCO — Traveling light, Lisa Guerrero eschewed baggage claim and emerged from automated glass doors just as a car pulled curbside. Somehow, she made it from Los Angeles to San Francisco without interrogating a single airline executive. With new evidence, such as DNA from Juliette’s clothing and testimony from Brandon Townsend that had not been previously gathered, the grand jury was able to obtain an indictment. Dustin was charged with intentional child abuse resulting in death. As Inside Edition’s chief investigative correspondent for more than a decade, I’ve covered hundreds of stories—consumer scams, crooked politicians, corrupt televangelists, rapists and predators, child, women, elder, and animal abuse, and, well, the list goes on. Lisa Guerrero is exactly what her last name means in Spanish, a warrior who inspires us to push forward. The book, Warrior, is a true journey of a tenacious woman who learned to find her voice and strength through painful experiences that no one knew she was enduring. Racism, sexism, misogyny, bullying, vicious criticism, rejection, and a broken marriage are everything Lisa Guerrero has experienced in her career as a Latina, sports journalist, investigative correspondent, and actress. It's a miracle that she is still standing today. I could not put down this book because every chapter brought another sports legend or powerful entertainer and a harsh lesson learned. I recommend Lisa's book to anyone who has questioned their role in their profession and personal life and even whether they should still exist in this world. Warrior will leave you inspired and empowered to take on the world." Anyone who is a fan of Inside Edition or has seen clips of Lisa Guerrero on YouTube should read this book to get an INSIDE look into her life.
