Katy Tur is opening up about her tumultuous childhood, and her reaction to her father coming out as transgender.
The NBC News correspondent, who is the daughter of legendary Los Angeles broadcasters Zoey (formerly Bob) Tur and Marika Gerrard, sat down with CBS Sunday Morning to share her experience.
Growing up, the broadcaster believed her parents, who were known for reporting the news from their helicopter, were "the coolest people in the world." Tur shared that she even "knew how to fly a helicopter" as a kid.
"It was a really unique and interesting childhood that nobody else had," said Tur, 38, who chronicles her experience in her new memoir, Rough Draft.
However, she also witnessed her parents' struggles up close. In 2013, Tur received a phone call from her father during which he told her that he was transgender.
"My dad said, 'I am a woman.' And I said, 'what?' And my dad said, 'I am a woman. I am transitioning,'" Tur recalled. "I'm going to become a woman."
Tur said she was at first "puzzled" by the announcement, replying, "You've got to be joking. Are you kidding? What are you talking about?"
"My dad was adamant," she continued. "'I'm the wrong person. I'm going to become the right person. Don't you see this is why I've been so angry?' It was a lot."
Tur...said her father would experience "fits of anger" when she was younger, and would become "abusive." She added that they did not get the police involved because to do so would hurt her father's career and ability to provide for the family.
"Something would set him off, and he would get so, so out of control that he would throw his fist through a wall," recalled Tur, who sat with her mother during the interview.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Men used to buy a sports car to help the midlife crisis.
Now self mutilation and identifying as something they are not and can never be.

These people (term used loosely) are SICK!
They should not be enabled to foist their weird CRAZY behavior on others ESPECIALLY KIDS!

“Just another lifestyle” my A$$.

Does this mean that Kylie and Katy now have three parents?
“It was a really unique and interesting childhood that nobody else had,”
I’ll just bet.
Keep trying to polish that turd, Katy.
About 25 years ago a friend of ours (with two preteen girls) threw a nice big 40th birthday party for her husband and after everyone left he told her he was leaving her for another man he met on Prodigy. BTW, that man was also leaving his wife and kids. Creepy.
People didn't know anything about Walter Cronkite, or Dan Rather or Mike Wallace, and believed everything they said. Isn't it better to know who you are dealing with? I don't really care about her, but people who do watch her probably ought to know who is telling them stuff.
I am so over all these outliers. Live your lives and shut up. I don’t care who you are or what the heck you do in privacy.
It’s beyond ridiculous - and they all know they’re still a man no matter how much they think otherwise. And they look awful trying to be otherwise.
Katy Tur is a reporter, I think. I never heard of her until now, either.
But, when she mentioned her father, I remembered he was the one who threatened Ben Shapiro on TV.
Monty Python made us all laugh. Those were the days...
I get the impression from the interview that she is estranged from her father, probably because of his anger issues when she was growing up.
Yup…
