Connie Chung, 78, recalls being 'sexually molested' by 'monster' family doctor in new memoir


Connie Chung candidly penned about being 'sexually molested' by her family doctor in her new book, Connie: A Memoir, which was officially released on Tuesday.

In order to avoid visiting the doctor ever again, Chung says she told her mother, who 'could not read or write English,' that the medical professional lived 'too far away' from their home and they should therefore stop seeing him. Connie notably became the first Asian American and second woman to co-anchor a national evening newscast, and also worked for networks such as ABC, CBS and NBC over the years. During a recent interview on NBC's Today while promoting Connie: A Memoir, the star reflected on being told at the beginning of her career that she would not make it as a journalist by a network executive.
