In the Friday's with Geraldo segment a very disturbing story developing tonight.
Involving the royal family and a radio show hopes that took a terrible turn.
The nurse who was duped into transferring a prank phone call from some DJs to Kate Middleton hospital room has been found dead -- apparent suicide.
Jackson has -- -- body was found just yards away from the hospital where she worked.
Two days ago -- -- -- received this call from Australian radio pranksters pretending to be the queen.
Yeah I could speak to teach peace my friend who took -- is just played on the things you.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Joining me now from New York is Fox News host Geraldo Rivera who himself is a radio star okay are all -- off.
This is.
This is so it was -- so heartbreaking and so saddest thing that's so this and bring such great news to the tape you know to Britain this.
New new baby coming for -- the prince and princess and now that sort as a stand.
Well first of all.
The very least you have to radio DJs who had invaded the privacy of a sick pregnant woman.
You know regardless of who she is and I think it is you know good news that Michael Christian and now grade the the -- you see here have now been suspended may be fired by today at them their boss.
What they did the prank not so who you know -- malicious.
As many you know yet some horrible ones where.
You have young teenagers who are.
Seduced by the prank call thing is there are you know some relative or school counselor revealing -- are intimate details of their sex lives etc.
-- You know NBC does to catch a predator and they -- people make -- they kill themselves.
Here it was just like a kind have.
May be benign in that sense but what they did would be illegal in the United States you know they are laws to protect the privacy of patients'.
What the reception is the nurse receptionist did in telling.
The the caller is what the condition of the patient was you know she had a restful night all the rest of it that would be impermissible in the United States.
And the fact that it was the duke in the duchess of Cambridge I think.
Maybe makes it more egregious but still like I think these pranks you and I do radio.
We have you know we sometimes we have fun doing it but to do it -- someone else's expense in this regard is is just horrible now having said that.
I think to pin.
This suicide had to send us -- down on the radio DJ's.
Is really far fetched you know I spoke to some doctors today.
Who told me that when someone is down to kill themselves it's not.
You know it may be that the call was the trigger but the gun was something else.
Now on on -- element on on Nassau something I clear my husband then and two small children behind -- had experience.
Something going on in this poor woman's head this thing pushed her over the but remember -- -- -- it's part of the whole problem I have right now we have a lot of problems in our country but.
This culture where.
Then the more outrageous.
Or the more.
And -- profane.
Or the more you debase -- south and it's a sex tapes coming out.
The more attention you -- and then it continues to you know raise the bar for outrageous conduct in -- right this is kind of that -- and it ended up with horrible are horrible consequences but it's part of that mean you got to titillate gentle and warm warm more and Italy is to it.
Consequences and then things happening that the actors never intended -- intend for this woman to commit suicide.
But it it it oftentimes ends up when bad things happening in this case -- tragic thing happening but it's part of this.
-- -- YouTube where the instant celebrity that people want an -- just getting ratings.
You know I don't even like surprise parties IE I don't I don't either actually and I don't agree on a lot surprise -- -- -- and.
But to do those kinds of things in public that's you know you get.
It's one thing -- -- is bad enough you know you put.
A little -- balloon under old lady what she does and I yes I went like that yeah but -- they you know the kids can do it in the privacy of their home that's one -- -- -- to do I mean even that Franken Brazil where they had the you know the child -- look like which are ghost in the people the poor people in the elevator you know trying to get our thinking that they're going to be possessed by -- the devil at all.
I laughed at that and if that is it like you have you also laughed when you know all the ladies know it's -- anti sometime I don't I'll go that you last week that no government I don't we have -- move we can condemn that.
We -- I don't know -- for ourselves don't do it.
These guys the DJ said that man and woman in Australia paying -- severely -- and I think -- You know the that they must be horrified by the viral reaction and then the south side.
My goodness how how about -- dreadful can it be.
You know there there got their first of all let's -- -- as a lawyer as lawyers.
Say the privacy of the patients should be sacrosanct -- should not be able to go there there have to be regulations in this country it's already covered it would not have happened here.
I and starts -- and I got twenty seconds I joined Senator Clinton and he has no I just -- the right to speak against NBC they edited the 911 call to make him appear racist they help set the agenda.
That made us while white heartless person in the in this case he happened to be you know what Hispanic but a white heartless man killing a black -- youngster they they helped exacerbate the racial tension that helped define the the case I think yes there were a right -- -- -- George Zimmerman does I also think the -- in withholding the bloody -- shot of Zimmerman until they were really prodded and pushed by the defense.
Is unconscionable bordering on -- sanction violations by the -- prosecutor and I think out your -- is gonna walk as a result.
I had great -- found out that was finally releases just devastating problem -- -- my husband.
