MSNBC anchor Katy Tur has opened up about her reaction when her legendary broadcaster father came out as transgender to her almost a decade ago.
Speaking to CBS about her new memoir Rough Draft, Katy reminisced about her childhood flying over Los Angeles with her helicopter reporter parents, the former power couple of broadcasters Marika Gerrard and Zoey Tur - formerly Bob Tur.
The 38-year-old recounted the 2013 call with her estranged father, who has never met her two children with 'CBS This Morning' co-host Tony Dokoupil.
'My dad said, ''I am a woman.' And I said ''What?'' And my dad said, ''I'm a woman, I'm transitioning, I'm going to become a woman,'' Katy told CBS Sunday Morning.
'And I remember being at first puzzled and saying, ''You gotta be joking. You're kidding, what are you talking about?'''
The MSNBC anchor also accused her father of throwing batteries at her, her brother and mother, and punching walls when she was growing up.
Katy said her father confessed to her during the call that her volatility and violence during the turbulent marriage with Gerrard stemmed from Zoey not being able to be her true self.
Zoey, who is famously known for covering the 92' LA riots and the infamous OJ Simpson low-speed chase from the sky, acknowledged that working in the demanding journalism industry had affected her behavior at home.
'She [Katy] really looked up to me, and I failed her. No father wants to fail their daughter ... Throwing batteries? Probably, yeah. Punching walls? There were a couple,' she told CBS.
Katy, who went on to become an award-winning journalist of her own right, told CBS she was puzzled when she received a call from her father in 2013, the last time she spoke with her.

Even mentally damaged people like Leftists (Katy Tur) can recognize mental illness in others.
The pronoun shifting makes it a difficult story to read.
“She...”
Wait, are they talking about the “he/she” or the she/she”???
Sheesh...
There is something to be said for encouraging people like Bob Tur. If he had been encouraged to “transition” to a “woman” back when he was a young adult, his fiancee could have married someone else instead of screwing up her life and their children’s lives.
That’s a dude ...
“My grandma is a Commie
My grandpa pushes tea
My sister has a mustache , my brother wears a dress,
Goodness gracious dat’s why I’m a mess!’’
Her father is a mutilated male sicko. No wonder she’s messed up.
