Jenna Bush Hager broke down in tears on the “Today” show while admitting she wasn’t a good friend when Hoda Kotb’s 3-year-old daughter Hope was hospitalized earlier this year.
“When Hoda’s daughter wasn’t feeling well I just wasn’t there for her the way I wanted to be,” Hager, 41,“I didn’t know how to be and I felt terrible about it. But I didn’t know what to do so I just said it. I said, ‘I feel like I haven’t been there for you.'”Jenna Bush Hager was brought to tears when she recalled not being there for Hoda Kotb during her daughter’s “scary” hospitalization.
The duo was discussing the concept of brutal honesty when Hager first brought up the difficult moment they had shared and Kotb commended Hager for always being “so honest.”“It touched me deeply, and it meant everything to me that you said that,” Kotb said while reflecting on the exchange.“I think it’s such a good thing. I mean, I can’t believe you’re bringing up that thing. I can’t believe you’re bringing that up,” Kotb said.“I was holding it and holding it until I exploded.
But both TV personalities agreed that people shouldn’t confuse being “brutally honest” with being unnecessarily critical. “This kind of honestly is beautiful,” Kotb said about Hager’s words. “The kind of honestly where someone comes up who is not maybe one of your besties… ‘I just need to be brutally honest, the outfit you’re wearing…’ It’s like no, no, no, no.”Nathan Congleton/NBC via Getty Images
