Tamron Hall’s Departure From MSNBC
In February 2017, news spread of the presenter’s resignation from MSNBC and the NBC news. It was shocking to learn that Tamron would leave the NBC family after working with them for about a decade now. Sources have it that she had a legitimate reason to leave as she found out that the length of her program was being cut by an hour in order to make room from a new show and she was about to lose the position as co-host for the Today program. These changes did not go down well with the presenter and in spite of the pay raise alongside attractive incentives offered to her, she decided to quit.
By July 2017, Tamron paired up with Harvey Weinstein, owner of The Weinstein Company and co-owner of Miramax, which is a film production company. She is also set to make a comeback show in 2018 in which she will serve as host but she has not shared the title of the show yet.
Does Tamron Hall Have A Boyfriend Or Husband?
The beautiful presenter is one known to guard her private life and keep it out of the prying eyes of the public. However, sources have it for sure that she is not yet married and is quite sceptical when it comes to the issue but she has a boyfriend named Lawrence O’Donnell who was her fellow MSNBC news anchor and he is the host of ‘The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell’.
The Journalist’s View Of Children
Tamron who is in her 40’s now revealed in a TV interview that though one does not just become caring when one has a child, being a parent sure has its way of enhancing the need to care. She went further to say that ageing takes its toll on women, especially career women and the work system is getting more tedious by the day which makes it even impossible to incorporate parenthood at a certain point. When she was asked what she would have done differently if she could go back to her 20’s, the presenter made it known that she would have had a kid then. For her, delaying parenthood only makes it harder to be a parent but unfortunately, not every woman would buy her idea as women tend to be pursuing the career and forgetting the consequences of their choices.
What Happened To Tamron Hall’s Sister?
Tamron had a sister by the name Renate who came to a tragic end in 2004 as she was murdered and prior to that, she has been a victim of domestic violence in the hands of abusive partners. The culprit as of now is still not found and it has been a big burden on the Hall family. The presenter even believed her dad died out of heartbreak over the loss of his daughter.
