Today Has the Last Thing It Needs: More Drama
LatestTrouble is brewing yet again at the Today show because the morning talk show scene is basically a high school cafeteria. Rumors have emerged about tension between cohosts Natalie Morales and Tamron Hall—which has apparently gotten so bad that Morales is considering leaving the show.
Page Six broke the story revealing that Morales and Hall are engaged in a “power struggle,” presumably for the homecoming queen title, and NBC News President Deborah Turness is #TeamTamron.
An NBC source told Page Six, “There’s a lot of tension. Natalie and Tamron are competitive, and there was a big blowup in October between the two. Deborah has an issue with Natalie and has sided with Tamron. There has been zero communication between Deborah and Natalie for a long period of time. It’s the talk of NBC staff.”
Natalie Morales’ agent is reportedly quietly looking into other opportunities, although Morales still has two years left on her Today contract.
