Trump

I'm not sure why Billy Bush is getting black listed by Hollywood for being present during the Trump tape. He remarks that a girl is hot, but I don't see where he said anything vulgar. We would all be jobless if remarking that someone is hot is a fire-able offense.

It's not like he had the foresight that Trump would be the Republican nominee someday.

Am I living under a rock not knowing who the hell Billy Bush is? Never heard of him until this...is he a real celebrity?

I don't know much about him, but it looks like he worked himself up through the ranks and just started hosting the Today Show and now his career is ruined.

Just being a friend of Trump who is laughing about what he's saying obviously damages his reputation, and especially what he said and did after they got off the bus and said hi to the woman and basically forces hugs out of her. It was really slimy and creepy on his part. I don't blame the Today Show for not wanting him on anymore. Those kinds of shows have a right to expect their hosts to basically be squeaky clean (relatively, anyway... cleaner than being involved in Donald Trump's biggest campaign scandal to date at least, lol).

this. after Trumps creepo remarks, he basically forces the unsuspecting woman waiting for them to hug Trump. it was cringe-inducing. then asking who she'd rather date, etc. in full context of both converstations, it took on a whole new meaning. it was like he was trying to be Trump's wingman.

All I know is that his female co-hosts are defending him. They have worked with him for years. We are passing judgement on a 5 minute recording.

I agree... it's a little tough on him. He's just a tiny little guy that was trying to be cool.

I don't know if it's tough on him. he is heard on audio encouraging Trump's attitude and behaviour. just because Bush has never said anything Trump-like to his female costars, doesn't mean he's never talked about them like that. But again, that doesn't matter. all that matters is that he wasn't disgusted with Trump's suggestion that sexually assaulting women was ok. he laughed, and then encouraged a woman 10 seconds later to hug him, a woman Trump suggested he "may just start kissing" without her consent.

I guess I"m saying that I have no idea what he really thinks, but he strikes me as the kind of guy that would never challenge someone like Trump regardless of what Trump said. He seems like the ultimate "Me too!" kind of guy.

doesn't matter. public perception is all that matters to the show's producers. they won't want to be associated in any way shape or form with this incident.

Didn't NBC release the tape? But they want no part of it? Why didn't they can him 11 years ago?

Why didn't they edit it and take Billy out. It's not like NBC has a policy of not editing tapes (See: Martin, Trayvon)

Apparently they didn't know that they had it. Billy himself called attention to it:

Report: Billy Bush Bragged About Trump Video

"Disgraced Today host Billy Bush bragged to NBC staffers about the lewd Donald Trump tape that got him suspended, Page Six cited multiple sources as saying. According to the report, Bush told staffers that he had a “tape of Trump being a real dog” while covering the Rio Olympics in August. It is precisely his boasting that prompted Access Hollywood staffers to track down the damning tape, the report said. “If he knew about the tape, and remembered the full extent of such an explosive conversation with a presidential candidate and didn’t disclose that to NBC News, that is a very, very serious problem,” an unnamed source was quoted as saying."
