I wonder how much of this is actually true. 10%? 25%? My Katie is a bullying diva??? I refuse to believe it. She seems so genuine when she reads me the news.....NY Daily News:
Katie Couric is a bullying diva who capitalized on her status as a widowed mom, a nasty hatchet-job of a new book claims.
The most shocking tale in author Edward Klein's unauthorized biography, "Katie: The Real Story," is that Couric's marriage to Jay Monahan was on the rocks long before he died of cancer in 1998.
Quoting one of his numerous unnamed sources, Klein claims the couple had grown so far apart that the "only thing that stood between Katie and divorce was her fear of negative publicity."
Other unnamed sources told Klein the superstar anchor made Monahan "feel as though he wasn't good enough for her" and acted "as though she had fallen out of love."
In the book, to be released by Crown Publishing next Tuesday, Klein contends Couric was so chillingly calculating that cynics at NBC took bets on how long it would take her to exploit Monahan's death.
"Some said 72 hours; others just 24 hours," Klein writes.
Reached yesterday, Couric's spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said, "The baseless gossip about this subject doesn't merit a response."
