"Over the course of several hours, my client detailed egregious acts of sexual harassment and misconduct by Mr. Lauer," Ari Wilkenfeld of Wilkenfeld, Herendeen & Atkinson told Fox News in an emailed statement. "In fewer than than 35 hours, NBC investigated and removed Mr. Lauer...It is our hope that NBC will continue to do what it can to repair the damage done to my client—their employee—and any other women who may come forward."


It's been well documented that Matt Lauer is a sex pervert. Back in 2012, Andy Cohen interviewed Katie Couric on the segment, "Plead the Fifth" where Couric admitted that Lauer pinched her on the ass a lot. You can see the video of Couric's admission here:

In related news, left-wing talk radio host Garrison Keillor was fired from MPR for similar sexual misconduct:

So with all these liberals getting fired, I'm sure that Stonington must agree it's time for Congress to do its job and fire admitted "sex pervert " Donald Trump, right?

After all, if pinching a woman on the ass makes one a "sex pervert", grabbing her by the pussy must certainly qualify.

A woman claims that when she was in his office Lauer locked the door via a button at his desk. Would like to hear what he gave as the reason for why he needed that button installed (assuming he had to ask for and get approval).

I may be able to watch "Today" again.

Can't stand him, didn't like him on the Olympics, never could figure out why people seemed to like him so much.

Many high level executive types have desk buttons to close and lock their door. The only thing that might make this unusual would be if it couldn't be unlocked and opened from inside.

Why? Keeping people out that are coming to attack them?

Makes it pretty clear that NBC execs had to know something was going on.

That, which is a legitimate concern at NBC, and for privacy when they're talking to high ranking people on the phone. Again, it's always to keep people from getting in, not to keep them from getting out.

Do you have a specific example of when he did this or are we supposed to take some nonsense talk on a party bus as fact?

Sorry you're still mourning the loss of your hero today, Art. I don't know what else to tell you besides pick some better role models.

Indeed. But perhaps they didn't know about the "bending over" video? It's not clear whether or not that was filmed by NBC cameramen or by hidden spy cam. I'm going to go on a limb here and assume he thought nobody that mattered was paying attention.
