It hasn’t been the easiest of times for talk show host Billy Bush.  NBC fired him in October 2016 for his inappropriate conversation he had with President Donald Trump years ago about seducing women and groping their privates without consent. Then, another jaw dropper happened this week when it was revealed that he and his wife, Sydney, are ending their marriage after 20 years together. Now, reasons for them splitting are coming to light, and it looks like the blame is solely on the former Access Hollywood host.
