Why Katie Couric's Former Nanny Has Come Out Swinging Over Her Bombshell Book

Katie Couric's former nanny is accusing the television personality of making up lies to sell more books. In an interview with Daily Mail, Nancy Poznek — who is now 76 — says that she was "shocked" after reading how she is portrayed in Couric's memoir "Going There."
"I was extremely upset. This is going to be in the book forever, it's not true and I have to live with that all the time," she said. "If I ran into Katie Couric on the street I wouldn't look at her, I wouldn't say anything. Maybe before this story came out I would have but not since that. I don't want anything to do with her."
Poznek added that working for Couric was like working for a "teenage boy." "One time when we were in Key West, [Couric's then-husband] Jay said to me, come on you gotta come with me. He took me up to the bedroom, she was in the bathroom and he said look — it was her pillow, she'd picked her nose all night, all the [boogers] were lined up," Poznek said. "She was like that. She'll drink out of a milk carton and when her underwear were dirty she'll turn them inside out."
