Matt Lauer

Once perceived as a respected and polished news anchor, Matt Lauer enjoyed a prominent role at NBC, even co-hosting multiple Olympics opening ceremonies. However, in 2017, a female staffer from the 2014 Sochi Olympics came forward, accusing the television personality of harassment.

Since that initial revelation, a flood of additional allegations against Lauer has surfaced. Disturbingly, it appears that he engaged in a pattern of harassment, coercion, and the sending of inappropriate messages to women. Furthermore, there are indications that NBC was aware of Lauer’s behavior and played a role in suppressing stories related to the misconduct of individuals like Harvey Weinstein. The once-admired image of Matt Lauer has been shattered, raising serious concerns about the culture and actions within the media industry.
