NBC is expected to announce Curry's exit deal shortly, according to Page Six. The news comes after "weeks of negotiations to end her contract," which was reportedly worth as much as $12 million a year.
An unnamed NBC insider told Page Six that Curry "has been unhappy for a long time because she's basically doing nothing, while NBC is unhappy that she has been paid a lot of money to do nothing."
