Matt Lauer 'ultimately turned out to be two very different people,' former 'Today' co-anchor Katie Couric reportedly writes in her upcoming memoir.
NBC fires ‘Today’ host Matt Lauer as women allege sexual misconduct
Star anchor Matt Lauer was fired from NBC’s “Today” show Wednesday, the latest high-profile figure to lose his job as part of a widening sexual harassment scandal that has rocked the entertainment and media industries. She said it felt “heartless to abandon him, someone who’d been by my side, literally, for so many years.”She mentioned a phone call from his wife to the control room seeking the phone number of a woman he was allegedly having sex with, and a wayward email mistakenly sent to a “Today” producer suggesting she “spread butter on her thighs” and “wear that skirt that came off so easily.” Turns out the producer had the same last name as a production assistant Lauer was having an affair with.
Couric said her former co-anchor “ultimately turned out to be two very different people, in terms of my relationship with him versus some of the other things that were going on.” She also noted that the culture was different when they were working together, writing, “The general rule at that time was: it’s none of your business.”
