NBC staffers are allegedly upset with Jenna Bush Hager after discovering that she has been selling luxury bedding online, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Insiders claimed that her coworkers were shocked to learn about her side stream of income, which is said to be "against the rules."
"NBC News has strict policies about endorsement deals and this kind of Bush League behavior," claimed a tipster. "They don't want Lester Holt selling life insurance or Savannah Guthrie selling face cream. It tarnishes the entire news division's credibility."

"Your response to the cat is not quite as strong to your husband, but it's there," Sandra Langeslag, Ph.D., an associate professor in psychological sciences at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, noted.
"Which makes sense, because you’re probably also very attached to the cat," added Langeslag, to which Bush Hager comically replied, "But more attached to the husband."
