As reported by NBC News, Billy Bush left the Today show back in mid-October of 2016 once a lot of drama came his way after a controversial interview with Donald Trump. The interview tape was from a 2005 episode of Access Hollywood and had Trump talking about kissing and groping women without their consent.
Trump was heard saying on the tape that “when you’re a star, they let you do it.” Some more graphic details were also stated by Trump, and Bush is heard laughing and joking along with the reality TV star, who years later would become president of the United States.
Billy Bush was said to be very “ashamed and embarrassed” by the Trump interview situation and he told Vanity Fair that losing his career was the “ultimate degradation.”
Once the video came into the spotlight, Bush did offer an apology in a statement and left Today with a $10 million settlement. Sydney Davis is looking to make some of that settlement come with her as she seeks spousal support in their divorce. It’s obvious that the life of Billy Bush has really turned its head around in the last two years and his wife filing for divorce is only the latest in a series of changes. After 20 years of marriage, the couple simply felt it was best for them to go their separate ways.
