Tamron Hall is tired of the "Tamron versus Megyn" narrative: My Today exit "had nothing to do with her"

The New York Times

Hall says her remark about Megyn Kelly earlier this month at the TV press tour that “I already knew they made the wrong choice when I left the door" was taken out of context. "That was an unfair description of what I said," she tells The New York Times. "The question was fine, but the headlines and editing of my answer were inaccurate and disappointing. I felt like the coverage played up the 'Tamron versus Megyn' narrative, when in fact I clearly said her success or perceived lack thereof was not why I left. I knew it was the wrong decision for me to stay, so I left. It had nothing to do with her. This was a decision made by a few people. Most never met or talked to me in person about it. But out of it, I learned a lot more about the business side of the industry. I am now grateful it all happened." Hall also discussed how she "suspected something" before her Today exit. "Despite strong ratings, there were people at the top with a different perspective on what viewers wanted and who they would relate to — especially 'Middle America,'" she says. "And they felt like that wasn’t me. So I just started to notice changes during our hour of the show, and thought, “O.K., I see.”
