NBC fires Matt Lauer over inappropriate sexual behavior

woodtv.com...

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC News says longtime “Today” show host Matt Lauer has been fire for “inappropriate sexual behavior.”

Lauer’s co-anchor Savannah Guthrie made the announcement at the top of Wednesday’s “Today” show.

Guthrie read a statement from NBC News chairman Andy Lack, stating that the company has received a detailed complaint from a colleague Monday night “about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace” by Lauer. Lack’s statement said the company found that after a serious review of the complaint it represented “a clear violation” of the company’s standards, and Lauer was terminated as a result.

Lack added in his statement that it was the first complaint about Lauer in more than 20 years at NBC, but “we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.” The move comes a week after CBS News fired morning anchor Charlie Rose amid reports of sexual misconduct.

And another. This guy has been around awhile. Not sure how valid the allegations but nonetheless.

Mods delete please. Vesa beat me too it.

ATS allows two threads if they offer different perspectives.
They probably expect we will go back and look at Lauers early years with NBC and his relationship with Margaret Larson before she evolved into her refugee activist role?

Or, maybe, the way he talked about them.

I'm trying to gain a little parallax looking through different media channels.

According to this Live at 5 article he is joining the likes of Dustin Hoffman circa 1991.

Wendy Riss Gatsiounis said she had two meetings in 1991 with Hoffman and screenwriter Murray Schisgal to talk about adapting her script “A Darker Purpose” into a movie, Variety reported. The playwright said she was in her 20s at the time of the meetings and “The Graduate” actor was 53.

He banged a doe when he was riding his bicycle. He paid deerly for that. You think he would have learned from that.
