Blind Item #11
Apparently this lead morning host had a bone to pick and threw his weight around to get his co-worker suspended. I wonder if the co-worker will start talking about the lead host's cheating.

ReplyDeleteLauer but hes Trump's bitch
ReplyDeleteHis weight- Matt Lauer
ReplyDelete+1 Lauer....why would he want him suspended you think ? I don't think anyone would be surprised by his cheating either
ReplyDelete:(
Apparently no one likes billy bush on the today show. Doubt he'll ever be back.
ReplyDeletesee Simon's comment--Billy Bush isn't up to speed to be on Today.
ReplyDeleteWeight, I think of Al Rocker. Him cheating would be more out of character.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize there were that many damn hosts on that show-
ReplyDelete"And in related news, Michael Strahan announced he will be joining the Today team " effective in 5-4-3-2 lol.
Watch for it! Haha
ReplyDeleteActually that weight comment could be Al. He hates him for that lochte scoop. Lauer has been long known for cheating. Al would be a shocker
ReplyDeleteThese tv news/entertainment shows are cesspools. Everyone who works on those sets take three hour showers when they get home. Trust me. Been there, done that, got out!
ReplyDeleteBilly Bush isn't going to do anything but suck Al & Matt's dick and whoever he has to for as long as he has to, to get his job back. Billy is looking at losing millions and sinking his career for good if NBC blackballs him. On top the fact that NBC sat on that audio for weeks is shameful.
ReplyDeleteNobody is surprised by his cheating, but there could be talk of sexual harassment what with his affairs with coworkers , and his influence on hiring and firing coworkers. Billy might be getting hush money.
ReplyDeleteWanted to release it today after the debate to put focus on it without debate forum to get past it.
ReplyDeleteOh please let there be a ML scandal. He is such a massive douchebag
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily. He too is on like his third or fourth marriage.
ReplyDeleteBilly can sue given everything NBC let Lauer get away with and don't think he won't.
ReplyDeleteAl Roker. They hate each other.
ReplyDeleteMatt Lauer has wanted Bush gone from the beginning. He is threatened by his youth, charisma, and familial connections. Also, Bush was only about 60 days into his probationary period, so easy to dispose of. I think the Etern watched the Talk today. Haha
ReplyDeleteTell us more, please.
ReplyDeleteMinutes from Yom Kippur, I do not want to bash anyone who is praying for forgiveness for sins of this last year, but the truth is the truth. I lived it. I saw it. I heard it. Billy Bush is a WASP. I felt the sting (pardon the pun) from my Jewish employers and co-workers on many levels over the years. Donald Trump, a WASP, dared to cross the border from Queens to Manhattan to take on the very powerful Jewish real estate conglomerate. Early on, when a young Trump mentioned to his father he wanted to expand the business into NYC his father told him that the chances of him succeeding were slim as the Jewish New York real estate people were not going to welcome him. But he did it and made a name for himself. THIS is the truth that no one will ever talk about for fear of being called antisemitic or worse. This has a lot to do with the virulent anti-Trump rhetoric from the media. Politicians are afraid of these people and will not do anything to anger them. As I said, I worked in this area for decades. It is not in-your-face. It is subtle and quiet. Being non-Jewish I had good jobs because I was an excellent and professional worker. Never got raises. Never got promotions. Never included in behind-closed-door meetings. Despite my work in international news and vast experience and knowledge of certain world leaders and travel, I was never given a position to match my background. Watched daughters, sons, wives, mistresses, boyfriends and family friends waltz in and be given incredibly high paying and very visible jobs. They had NO experience. But they were Jewish. Donald Trump knows this. I think they are scared that if he becomes president their jobs will be in jeopardy and it will be payback time for all the nasty things they have done to him over the years. I am sure these statements will cause a storm of indignation from Jewish groups who will have their minions write in to condemn me. Sorry. Too late. I've heard it all before. The truth stings like the WASP I am.
ReplyDeleteReading around after this, the reports speculated Bush was hired to eventually be Lauer's replacement on the show.
ReplyDeleteWOW. That's juicy and frightening. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTrump's daughter and son in law and his grandchildren are Jewish. He would be finding himself in a very awkward position to specifically go after Jewish business people, on that alone, never mind the other messages that would send out. He also supports Israel. Many upper-middleclass/wealthier Jewish people are also conservative politically, (Sheldon Adelson is pushing hard for GOP Jews to vote for Trump) so I don't know, outside of the real estate industry that they would be for Hillary.
ReplyDeleteI myself am Jewish and grew up in a part of Rockland County that was very diverse at the time, but has since become overwhelmingly orthodox and Hasidic. While you cannot paint everyone in a group with the same brush..one observation I made growing up where I did was that there are reform Jews (who assimilate into the mainstream) and there are the ultra-orthodox, who don't, and a lot of the system gaming, wheedling and corruption that some fringe elements like to tack onto Jews as a people, is mostly because of the practices of the ultra-religious. Again, not all of them, but that's where the perception is coming from. And I'm betting that your employers were part of the ultra-religious sects.
Considering the verbal thrashing thrashing he gave Bush over his miserable (and fawning) Ryan Lochte comments, who could this be but Al? Loved that clip, must go watch it again.
ReplyDeleteThe men I worked with in the media were NOT Orthodox anything. They went to Temple twice a year only because it would look bad if they didn't. You know the drill. I appreciate your civility in answering this comment. You have to understand I began working in the media 50 years ago when things were very different in the media. From the mid-60s to 2011 saw a big change on many levels. But not in the area I discuss. In Goodfellas you saw that if you were not 100% Italian you couldn't be a made man. Half Italian you could do the dirty work, make hits, rob people, beat them up, extort them, but you couldn't join the MAFIA. You see discrimination in all businesses. It is going to get worse because of the tremendous influx of foreigners. When I worked in London I found the exact same work situation. My employers were Jewish and I was often the only Christian in the office. In many ways I was honored to be hired by these famous men. Everything I now know comes from working with super smart Jewish people. A famous New York PR man once told me he had never met a gentile who 'thought like a Jew' until he met me. However, I never got to do the level of work with his company I wanted to. I could go on and on but will stop now. One of my professors at a NYC photographic school told me I had a fabulous 'eye' and was very talented eye. But listed four things that would hold me back making a living as a news photographer in NYC. One of them was, 'You're not a New Yorker.' The other, "You're not Jewish, and don't have the killer instinct we (he was Jewish) have to get the story and the photo." He had no idea of my European news background and involvement in the Vietnam war and Black September in the Middle East. I never showed him the photos or mention my overseas work. He just assumed I was a country hick from the South. Tonight I heard Donald Trump say if he becomes president he is going after the media. Didn't I say this earlier? They are scared of what he will do to them. And, yes, as president he could. whether he wins or not, this country is a mess. Our glory days are behind us.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that a Bush cousin is affiliated with Donald Trump in a way that could impact undecided voters. I guess in no way was Billy "outing Trump" in defense of his first cousins Jeb and W on the sly dog...though the Bush family could afford to find him another gig. They have Trump money and beyond and the Koch brothers still like them...a little ...don't think Jeb got any money but he didn't get their outright contempt. Just speculating.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Lauer has no use for ANYONE he isn't fucking or planning to fuck, that show is his casting couch and nothing more, Natalie Morales was moved to L.A. because she stopped fucking Lauer and if you are not fucking him then you are worthless in his eyes. Someone like Billy Bush would be a threat to him because Bush could have affairs with young women that Lauer wants to bang. Much better to get rid of the competition.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't get promoted because you are, clearly, a loon.
ReplyDeleteThe crazy is strong, hon.
Used to think they just screwed us. Then Bernie Madoff came along and realized they even screw each other, Made me feel much better about my runins with them. She doesn't sound crazy, she sounds sad and hurt. Too bad. My best friend killed himself over similar circumstances. Their problem is pandemic in the media.
ReplyDeleteAs always, June Bug, you made me laugh. I totally get where you're coming from. That said, if I had been a loon these bright, super successful guys would never have hired me. I was never fired from any of my jobs. I did say to one employer back in the 80s when he jokingly said my coffee was so bad it was grounds for termination. He laughed for an hour over that joke. My reply was, "You can't fire me. Slaves have to be sold." I was taking notes during a super tense meeting at the time. Broke the ice and saved the day. Bob is right. I am deeply sad about how my 'career' turned out. However, I worked for over 50 years all over the world. Not many women from my state can say the same thing. Yes, I was discriminated against and could do nothing about it. It's life in America. I have moved on. Now I am getting ready to celebrate my most favorite day of the year. Yom Kippur. The one day of the year I can go to any Broadway play and any NYC restaurant and get a seat. And the subway cars are empty for the next 24 hours. Yayyyyy. Still love you, Miss June.
ReplyDeleteTrump's daughter converted. She is not a Jew but Jewish. 30 years ago her children would not be considered Jewish by the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Jackie Kennedy's daughters all married Jewish men. They opened doors to their Jewish husbands that would not be possible before they married. Do you really think Trump gives a doodly dip about how his witch hunt will affect his kids or grandkids? Before this month is over you are going to see a tidal wave of mud thrown all over everyone connected with this race.
