Do we know who leaked the Access Hollywood Tape?

[emulatorloo]

2. Access Hollywood.

I remember reading a story where a spokesperson for access Hollywood said they were reviewing their archival Trump footage after an article by AP came out regarding Trump's on-set behavior towards women on The Apprentice show.

Thats when they found the clip. I don't recall the spokesperson said that they leaked the clip. but that is my assumption or why else talk about the review and finding it.

Sorry no link it has been a while.

However here is a link to the AP story that prompted Access Hollywood to review their trump archive:

AP: 'Apprentice' cast and crew say Trump was lewd and sexist

As to the second part of your theory (NBC afraid of being sued) you may be thinking about the incriminating Apprentice footage discussed in the AP story.

NBC doesn't own the Apprentice footage.

Mark Burnett, the producer of the Apprentice, owns it.

He threatened his employees if they were even thinking about leaking it.
