The ‘Today’ host joined Andy Cohen’s radio show on Wednesday where she owned up to being friends with both Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein for a “long, long time” and called for mercy for the two disgraced celebrities, Fox News reports.

It isn’t, and it’s horrible, and as a woman who has experienced it, it’s awful,” Gifford continued. “But can we at least look at each individual case and see it for what it is?
