Matt Lauer Fired From NBC News After 'Inappropriate Sexual Behavior' Claim
UPDATE (5:30PM): More details have arose regarding Matt Lauer and other sexual misconduct acts, which are quite disturbing. Variety published a lengthy series of accounts from women who claim the former TODAY Show host sexually harassed them.
One shocker reads: "His office was in a secluded space, and he had a button under his desk that allowed him to lock his door from the inside without getting up. This afforded him the assurance of privacy. It allowed him to welcome female employees and initiate inappropriate contact while knowing nobody could walk in on him, according to two women who were sexually harassed by Lauer." Other details include Lauer showing his penis to a female colleague; playing "f-ck, marry, kill" while targeting female co-hosts and asking them who they've slept with. "There were a lot of consensual relationships, but that’s still a problem because of the power he held,” a former producer who knew first-hand about these incidents told Variety. “He couldn’t sleep around town with celebrities or on the road with random people, because he’s Matt Lauer and he’s married. So he’d have to do it within his stable, where he exerted power, and he knew people wouldn’t ever complain.”
