Billy Bush did not mean it when he cracked a sexual joke on Kendall
Jenner's appearance in leaked audio, claimed source.
An insider
told Page Six that that the radio and television host made a vulgar remark
on The Kardashians star's Halloween costume during a taping of Extra.
“There was no malicious intent on Bush’s part as he was working
through material in the show’s normal creative process,” a source told the
outlet.
For the unversed, Bush was standing in front of a wall of
celebrities dressed in Halloween costumes with Jenner’s image in the middle
when he cracked the joke as per Daily Beast.
Jenner was dressed as one of the characters from the Toy Story
franchise, Jesse, in the image on the wall, to which Bush said, "Kendall
goes as Jessie and, believe me, there were a lot of woodies."
On
this, the people in the room erupted in laughter as per the outlet, which
also obtained the audio.
Standing by Bush, a spokesperson from
Telepictures, which produces Extra, issued a statement to Variety about the
leaked audio.
“As with many forms of production in the entertainment
industry, the show’s creative process allows the flexibility to try
different jokes and banter," they said
“In the end, some material
lands on the cutting room floor, including remarks that may be too edgy to
air on broadcast television,” the statement added.
