In her new memoir, Rough Draft, MSNBC anchor Katy Tur says her father, once part of a breaking news team with her mother, was physically abusive toward the family. Tur sat down with her husband, CBS MORNINGS co-host Tony Dokoupil, for an interview where she describes the experience as isolating: “I always kind of felt like a bit of a fraud, like I didn’t really belong.” She acknowledged it’s a topic she hadn’t discussed much with Tony, telling him, “I didn’t really know how to broach it with you.”
Tur also joined CBS MORNINGS live, where she said she began “confronting” the events of her childhood during the pandemic, when her mother sent her emotional footage of their news coverage, but that she hasn’t yet been able to mend the relationship with her father.
Tur’s father, who years ago underwent gender reassignment surgery and changed her name from Bob to Zoey, told CBS News, “I could be very intimidating, for sure. And if I, if the kids felt I was intimidating, I apologize. I did the best I could.”
Rough Draft is published by Simon & Schuster, a division of Paramount Global.
