Note the writer is claiming allegations of misconduct by the producers of "Megyn Kelly Today." Damn this is in the middle of the background of an unrelated scandal at NBC over what Ann Curry and and Katie Couric knew about Matt Lauer's misconduct scandals. Dang NBC will have to look at Fox News oddly enough on how they had to make reforms after they had to remove Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes and others after they faced their misconduct scandals.

NBC is defending itself against claims from a former writer that executives on Megyn Kelly Today were "abusive" to staffers.

On Thursday, The Daily Mail published an email penned by former Megyn Kelly Today writer Kevin Bleyer and sent to colleagues after he was let go from NBC News this week. In the message, Bleyer forwards an email he says he sent to NBC News HR, which lists complaints he had with co-executive producers Jackie Levin and Christine Cataldi, before he was fired. Bleyer did not say whether Kelly herself was aware of the alleged work environment.

In response, an NBC News spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, "Jackie and Christine are being attacked unfairly. They are both excellent and experienced producers, and have the full support of everyone here. They, and the team, are fully focused on continuing the show’s momentum as it continues to climb in the ratings."

Among the grievances Bleyer lists in his email are that the co-executive producers created a "toxic and demeaning environment" for employees, Cataldi frequently called her assistant an "idiot," Levin called him "a ****ing whiner" and Levin used NBC resources to edit a video for her son's college singing group."
