Ann Curry "not surprised" by Matt Lauer allegations, says harassment was pervasive at NBC
CBS "News" ^ | January 17, 2018

In her first television interview since leaving NBC, former "Today" show host Ann Curry is speaking out about the firing of her former co-host Matt Lauer and the pervasive "verbal sexual" harassment during her time at NBC. Lauer was fired over "inappropriate sexual behavior" last November.

"I can say that I would be surprised if -- if -- many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment -- that existed. I think it'd be surprising if someone said that they didn't see that. So it was p -- a verbal -- sexual --," she said on "CBS This Morning" Wednesday.

"She just said that verbal sexual harassment was pervasive," "CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell said.

"Yeah," Curry replied.

"At -- at NBC at the time when you were there?" O'Donnell said.

"I don't wanna cause more pain. But no, I'm -- you are asking me a very direct question. I'm an honest person. I wanna tell you that it was. Yes. Period," Curry replied.

Curry, who's making a much-anticipated return to TV with her new PBS show, "We'll Meet Again," was with NBC's "Today" show for 15 years. She co-anchored alongside Lauer from 2011 to 2012 before a highly publicized break with the broadcast. Curry left NBC in 2015 and created her own production company.

She’s probably not the one that approved the electric lock on his office door. Lots of folks knew, some even helped.

Lauer’s famous female coworkers are conveniently claiming ignorance to protect themselves.

...

Everybody at NBC is a liberal Democrat who hates Trump and everybody who voted for him. So what does Curry’s statement say about them?

How could it be pervasive when senior management didn’t know? :-)

” So it was p — a verbal — sexual —,” she said “

It’s like some recorded news clips.....

“Here is what they said, we have the EXCLUSIVE video/audio, caught it live, here it is....”

“Yeah well, bleep bleep dog. You bleep bleep bleep, mother bleep. You feel me bleep? When I bleep bleep bleep your bleep bleep bleep shithole, you’ll finally bleep get it. Get that bleep camera out my bleep bleep face, you bleep bleep bleep bleep, before I bleep bleep down your bleep”

“Well, Martha, he sure had a lot to say and made some salient points. Remember, we brought it to you exclusively here on WXYZ News.”
