In December 2014 Maclean's magazine published Jackson's account of harassment she experienced from her co-host, Hargurchet Singh Bhabra. Jackson and Bhabra had been co-hosts of a show on books, entitled Imprint, during its first season, in 1994.[8] Jackson felt her complaints over Bhabra's harassment were not taken seriously. Both she and Bhabra were replaced for the second season. Bhabra committed suicide three years later.[9][10]
