When NBC News first approached me, I was flattered.
Weeks later, after an emotional process, I made the difficult decision to leave The Huffington Post after two years. I delivered the news first to Arianna, who has been amazing through this entire process. I thanked her again for taking time out of her busy schedule, for everything she’s done for me, and for the generous offers to stay at HuffPost. I just ultimately decided it was time to move on. This was an incredible opportunity and new challenge that was too great to pass up. She said she understood. We hugged.
