Katy and her relationship with Keith Olbermann: Even accused of having inappropriate affair with Keith
Katy and Keith had their first encounter while working for MSNBC. They started dating back in 2006, without minding their age gap as Keith was 52-year old and Katy was just 23 at that time.
The couple were in a relationship for three long years and parted ways in 2009. Recently back in 2016, Fox News contributor
Recently back in 2016, Fox News contributor Richard Grenell tweet storm Friday accused the reporter of having an inappropriate relationship with the former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann so that she could get her position later in the network.
The main reason behind his accusation was that he felt that Katy was biased about reporting the recent WikiLeaks email dumps.
He Tweeted:
MSNBC's Tur has no clue about the Breaking News of the smoking gun email found....there's a coverup of the White House's role & she's on > https://t.co/mo9p0GgSnQ

Later on, he further made a disrespectful comment about her being a journalist and how she dated with Keith just to be the reporter that she's now.
calling yourself a journalist is offensive to real ones. Did u intern for @KeithOlbermann or date him? Either way doesn't make u a reporter. https://t.co/kiav3MJOyo

This created a huge fuss on the media and women from all over the media despised his accusation and argued over Grenell's misogynistic attack on Tur.
Unbelievably sexist remark. https://t.co/Ur51mkvjRC

Katy singled out by President Donald Trump in an event in Miami
Back in 2016, Katy Tur covered the Donald Trump presidential campaign and sources have reported that several times during the campaign, Trump harassed and insulted her a number of times.
Not only that, at an event in Florida, Katy was even booed by Trump supporters. People.com reports that the 70-year-old President quoted:
" We have massive crowds. There’s something happening. They’re not reporting it. Katy — you’re not reporting it, Katy,“But there’s something happening, Katy. There’s something happening, Katy.”
However, Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway told the press that Trump didn't intentionally harass the reporter and "he didn't mean it in any malicious way."
After this, Katy's supporter from all over the country sent supporting encouraging messages, to the journalist using #ImWithTur
"Do your job Katy! Report the truth Katy! Report what he says Katy!"

He also revealed that Katy even stopped speaking to her for a certain period of time. But later on, Katy accepted the fact very well and now the father-daughter duo is in good terms.
