'Devastated' Billy Bush Worried He 'Can't Recover' from Leaked Donald Trump Tape: Source

Just days after footage surfaced of Donald Trump and Billy Bush making lewd comments about women in 2005, a source tells PEOPLE that the Today show co-host “can’t recover” from the leaked video.

Despite apologizing hours after the Washington Post published a video that captured Trump making sexual comments alongside Bush about Nancy O’Dell and Arianne Zucker on board an Access Hollywood bus, the damage may be irreparable for the co-host.

“People are saying he can’t recover,” a source tells PEOPLE about Bush, who has been suspended from his hosting duties. “It’s so ironic that the place that got him there — his job on Access Hollywood — is now destroying him,” the source says.

"it was both “purposeful” and “not a low-level leak.”

“They could have released the tape and edited him out,” the source says of the individual that leaked the footage. “That was the plan — they were trying to approve it and then someone leaked it. That’s what Access Hollywood eventually did and they played it … but it was already out,” the source says and adds, “If they wanted to protect him, they could have edited it out which they did on the final Access piece that aired on Friday, but they left it in when it was leaked.”"

S’ok. Like the Kennedy’s, the Bush family has made billions selling out the USA. I’m sure he’ll be OK.

Billy, first off, I ain’t buying it. You could be seen as the guy who took down Trump. Just hang tight bro, they have to suspend you to preserve the illusion of righteous indignation. You will be back in the saddle in not time.

But in case I am wrong, your last name is Bush. How long did you really expect to survive in Hollywood or in the MSM of all places? Tell me you didn’t have the same delusions as Jen who thought and thinks that the MSM would have treated him any differently than Trump had he received the nomination.

So, didn’t once ever think it was his last name? If he got rid of the Bush people might not link him to that particular leak.

Recover? I’m surprised he’s not the Toast of Tinsel Town.

Billy is claimed to have bragged about the outtake during the Olympics. Access Hollywood was prepping the story from the Monday before the Friday ‘leak’. There was plenty of time for every insider in the political world to know about this before Friday afternoon when it was ‘leaked’.

I had NEVER heard of Billy Bush until last week. Am I missing something? I doubt it.

Isn’t it illegal to tape someone without their consent? What type of device was used to record Donald? Was it a recorder in Billy Bush’s pocket that he could turn as he goaded Trump into his braggadocio? Did Billy think he could blackmail Trump with this video? Is NBC covering their ass for a libel suit that may be in the works?

Not only Billy. Access Hollywood is also dead. Who would trust them in the future?

Same here. I don't keep up with Today or Access Hollywood (whatever that is), or Hollywood in general. I am actually a big movie fan, but all my favorite stars are dead. I don't keep up with today's so-called stars.

I’m sure Clintoon will offer him a job as White House communications director or one of those cushy gigs. She’ll owe him BIG TIME.

It seems like he was in the news years ago, but I can’t remember why. Maybe just because of him being a relation to GWB.
