AceShowbiz - Jenna Bush Hager has reacted to critics urging her and Hoda Kotb to fire one of their co-workers. The co-host of "Today with Hoda & Jenna" came to the defense of the show's stylist upon learning negative online responses from social media users.
In the Thursday, October 26 episode, 41-year-old Jenna did not hold back in supporting stylist Talia Parkinson-Jones, who is also the TV program's executive producer. "Thank you Talia, and Talia, I hope you didn't read the comments, because they weren't true," she first stated.
In response, 59-year-old Hoda appeared confused with what Jenna was saying. To make it clear, Jenna explained, "Well people said, Fire the stylist. " She went on to stress, "And we don't want you to go anywhere!" Talia confidently replied that Jenna and Hoda "look fabulous" in their outfits. Jenna added, "The proof is in the pudding!"
