Billy Bush out at the Today show

Billy Bush is no longer a host on NBC's Today show, a network senior vice president announced Monday.

Earlier this month, Bush was suspended from the show after a video from 2005 surfaced, featuring Donald Trump telling Bush, then a host on Access Hollywood, that he groped and kissed women without their consent because "when you're a star, they let you do it." Bush, who was heard laughing and joking with Trump, released a statement after the tape leaked, saying he was "embarrassed and ashamed" by the conversation. On Monday, he released a new statement, saying, "I am deeply grateful for the conversations I've had with my daughters, and for all of the support from family, friends, and colleagues. I look forward to what lies ahead."
