QuoteRecounting a passage from the memoir, Lee told Roberts on Tuesday how she worked for Johnson for 10 years before they began a personal romance.

"He was a mentor and he pushed me. He was responsible for a lot of my success," Lee said. "We did have a relationship while we were both married, we ended up both divorced. And then people knew about the relationship. The company knew ... we started going places together. The downfall of a relationship like that is if you want to get out of it. It came, and I wanted to break up. I saw it wasn't a long-term relationship. And my job and my career was held over my head."

She shared how at that point she was 20 years into her career at BET and was told that if she wanted to break up with Johnson, she should leave the company the next day.

"So I would've lost everything. I would've lost my career, my job, my ability to maybe get another job [if] I couldn't get a reference. ... By that time I was a single mother with two children. So it was a tough time and I didn't have anyone to talk to about it because I didn't have female role models. There weren't a lot of women ahead of me. I was embarrassed to talk with my family about it. So it was a dark time."

The former TV executive said that therapy "saved me." Johnson eventually left BET in 2006 and Lee became chief executive, clearing a new path on her own terms.
