Sources inform the media that entertainment reporter Billy Bush brazenly bragged to NBC staff about the vulgar Donald Trump tape while covering the Olympics in Rio.
Proving the infamous Ryan Lochte interview wasn’t Bush’s only Rio recklessness, the shamed “Today” host boasted at a party in August that he had a “tape of Trump being a real dog,” prompting staffers at Access Hollywood to track it down.

Bush never told NBC News brass about the tape when he joined Today, and they’re not happy about it. “Billy was bragging about the tape to other NBC staff while in Rio. 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,” the insider said, adding it could violate the “morality clause” in his contract.
Meanwhile, Bush could also be investigated by NBC for any signs of possible workplace sexual harassment because of the comments he made during his vile video chat with Trump about his ex-“Access” co-host Nancy O’Dell.
An NBC insider source confided that “There is concern that Bush didn’t defend his female co-worker. Instead, he appears to encourage that type of talk about her.” Bush is also heard commenting about an actress on NBC’s Days of Our Lives, Arianne Zucker, who he said was “hot as s - - t . . . All I can see is legs.”
A review of Bush’s actions is under way, and staff are being urged to come forward “with any concerns about Bush, his inappropriate behavior or frat-boy mentality.” Staff, particularly women, were polled about how they feel about Bush at a meeting at 30 Rock on Monday.
All this leaves Billy Bush’s future very much up in the air.
