The harsh treatment Ann Curry received at the hands of NBC during her painful firing was so far reaching that the network wouldn’t even let her send a sympathy Tweet to ailing Robin Roberts!

“Ann Curry was gone but not gone, which created a situation of spectacular awkwardness,” the report claims, detailing how swiftly Ann’s ousting dragged the ratings of The Today show down, and how poorly the network handled her situation.
