Well, I have the latest for you on this missing Linaway County Women woman's case when that hooker Disappeared while boating in the Bahamas with her husband Brian This is national news every single night at this point. He is currently under investigation But sat down after his release from jail with NBC Nightly News yesterday Did police ever? Explicitly ask you if you hurt your wife, of course. What did you say to them? I said I've never harmed Lynette and I never would harm Lynette and I want to find Lynette Tonight Brian Hooker is a free man Speaking out just hours after Bahamian authorities released him from custody. He faces no charges But investigators tell us he remains a suspect in the disappearance of his wife Lynette who vanished more than a week ago Please still look you as a suspect. Why do you think that is? I? Think some of it is probably to the media attention Which is understandable Is it as faster? They get it out of the way the more police can come and help search Hooker says Lynette fell from their dinghy and unpredictable seas But his attorney advised him not to discuss the details if there's anything you can share about Easter weekend that you remember I cannot share anything I don't want to take a chance that Anything could interfere with the search. I welcome any attention anything that helps me Further my goal of finding Lynette. I also asked him about reports. He and Lynette have had a volatile relationship What do you want people to know about your marriage with Lynette? I want people to know that Lynette is my life and We have been together half my almost half my life and We belong to each other Hooker telling me he plans to keep searching for Lynette After watching that I Kind of felt okay. Maybe this guy, you know, there's got nothing to go with it I mean obviously, you know, what's up and then when he said that whole thing about I'm not gonna say anything because it will ruin the thing. I don't know what would ruin it other than hey, we were on the boat and Rough seas came or something like I want to know that they get into a fight. Was there a verbal spat? Like why is she why did she go into the water like there was she had the keys? Yeah, why did she have her which is like this weird piece to me? Yeah, like what she's always drives Always their daughter said he always always always that was the thing that threw me I don't remember exactly what she said, but I remember kind of in the beginning of you reporting this in a dirty We had audio of the daughter and the daughter's voice just seemed really skeptical about her relationship with her dad And this is this is her stepdad But here's the interesting thing with the keys the keys thing is probably they got into a fight and she goes I'm taking the you know, like and she's she's like you're not going anywhere or something like that and she takes the keys Yeah, I don't he's like crap. She's got the keys All right NFL reporter Diana Rossini has resigned from the athletic a week after those photos leaked showing her and Patriots coach Mike Grable at that fancy Arizona hotel together holding hands and dancing and lounging by the pool So the athletic launched a review into her conduct and as scrutiny grew She decided to step down before her contract expired, which I think was happening in like June or July anyway But she's like look I'm gonna leave now before this escalates Do you know that I didn't know this but you know she worked for what the New York Times? Do you know that their own athletic in New York Times owned by the same people? So they basically did an investigative story about one of their own now. He's still Working he still has a job. Will he have to step down? Well, both of them say both of them say look these photos these videos were taken Entirely out of context. We were there with a bunch of people You didn't see those other people in the photos that went around so they maintain that doesn't fish he was going on there I have no other people have come forward. So where were they? Here's my question two people consensual relationship I Know that they're married obviously in fidelity if he didn't Sexually assault her she didn't sexually assault him who do who do we why do we care? I why do I actually completely agree with you morally wrong? But why are people losing their jobs over early wrong? I mean the people that are making these decisions are probably morally wrong I mean let their spouses I honestly I say let them have their jobs Want to know why because their spouses are gonna need to have that when their divorce settlements come into play Yeah, now she doesn't have a gig.

I want to take a second to talk about something. That's personal to me I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time and one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate as a Jewish athlete My identity is something I am proud of but I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it That's why this new commercial for the blue square alliance against hate that aired during the big game really hit home It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted even if you don't have the perfect words and Sometimes standing next to someone is enough and you can show support by sharing the blue square
