Transgender newscaster Zoey Tur reveals NBC correspondent daughter Katy stopped speaking to her after decision to have a sex change

Transgender newscaster Zoey Tur has revealed her NBC foreign correspondent daughter Katy stopped speaking to her for a period after she decided to transition. Tur, formerly known as Chopper Bob, became famous for filming a mob beating driver Reginald Denny during the LA Riots, and the O.J. Simpson car chase. 'My son was great, he told me, 'I support your decision and if this will make you happy then I'm on board,'' Tur told People.'But my daughter was shocked. She had a great deal of difficulty and we stopped talking for a long time.'
