newsflash
Just as Billy Bush breaks his
silenceandasksforforgiveness,
sources tell In Touch he made
more comments about women
Call it his apology
tour. On May 21,
The Hollywood Reporter
published a
cover story on disgraced TV
host Billy Bush — his first
interview since he was fired
from Today last October. He
was canned days after a 2005
hot mic tape of him engaging
in lewd, misogynistic banter
with then-Apprentice host
Donald Trump was leaked.
Billy was heard egging on
now–President Trump when
he talked about grabbing
women by their private parts.
After his mega-apology interview,
Billy appeared on Today
rival Good Morning America
on May 22 to explain himself
— again — and expound
on how much he says he’s
changed since the scandal torpedoed
his career.
But as he attempts to
stage a comeback, there’s
more he’s not sharing. “Despite
Billy’s big mea culpa,
he’s still hiding a number
of things about himself,” a
TV insider exclusively tells
In Touch. Billy has gone into
great detail about how much
he has changed and called
the exchange with Trump
“a bad moment a long time
ago.” Not so, multiple sources
tell In Touch exclusively. In
fact, Billy made many misogynistic
and obscene comments,
objectifying women’s
bodies while he was at
Access Hollywood.
Billy was untouchable.
For years, he was incredibly
close to an Access Hollywood
exec who let him do almost
whatever he wanted.
“Billy and [the exec]
talked about women
like that all the
time,” says an industry
source. “There
was this morning
weather anchor
on CBS, and every
other morning [the
exec] and Billy would
talk…‘Wow, you see
what she was wearing?’
Or [the exec]
would say, ‘Did you see her
rack?’ or ‘Check out her boobs
this morning!’ Billy laughed
and egged him on. We’re not
talking about Boy Scouts here.
Billy would tape every morning
for Access Hollywood, and
racy stuff about women would
fly from his mouth at times in
between tapings.”
Billy laughed about the
Trump conversation at the
time. “Billy knew they were
rolling [when the tape was
shot]. That was no accident,”
says the industry source. “And
he brought it to [the exec].
They watched it. They were
joking about
KEEPING
HIS
DISTANCE
“I can’t see Matt
wanting anything
to do with Billy,”
says a network
insider.
