“To the man who smacked my butt on live TV this morning: You violated, objectified, and embarrassed me,” Bozarjian tweeted later on Saturday, alongside footage of the on-air assault.
“No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere!! Do better.”

“Alex, what happened today is 100% unacceptable. You have my assurance we will identify him,” Wells said.
