Access Hollywood's Kit Hoover Tearfully Defends Billy Bush

Billy Bush‘s former co-host on Access Hollywood Live, Kit Hoover, tearfully defended him during Monday morning’s show on October 10.

The television personality worked with Billy for six years before he left the show earlier this year to join Today, from which he was suspended following the release of the Donald Trump tape.

“He was always in my corner,” Kit said. “I was just devastated to watch all this unfold because the Billy that I know – and that a lot of people would say – has the biggest heart of anybody, and he is a good person.”

Billy‘s replacement on the show, Natalie Morales, also said some kind words about him.

“One of the first people to call me and congratulate me when I announced that I would be getting this job was Billy. He also offered advice and offered to help with my move and transition,” she said.
