A day after being fired by NBC, former Today host Matt Lauer on Thursday broke his silence on the mounting sexual misconduct allegations against him saying some of the accusations are untrue but that he is truly sorry for the pain he has inflicted.
There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions, he said in a statement. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry.
As I am writing this I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC.
...
I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly, he continued. Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and Im committed to beginning that effort. It is now my full time job.

The entire statement was read aloud on Thursdays Today show, where Savannah Guthrie was once again joined by Hoda Kotb, who also filled in for Lauer on Wednesday.

"I accept full responsibility."
I am SO sick of hearing the psycho-babble term "sex addiction". It doesn't exist! It's just a matter of being a horn-dog and not having self-control. If I could have bottled the extra Testosterone I had up till about 45, and mass produced it, I would be living in Beverly Hills after out-selling Viagra.
Yes, I'm bragging. Still, from my adolescence on, I have always treated Girls/Ladies with the upmost respect. I never once thought I had the right to touch a female unless it was a clear mutual attraction. In fact, at bars, guys would ask me why didn't you "surround" her? I missed a lot of cues while trying to be a Gentleman. I will continue to be so and still open doors for a female to this day. I simply adore women. Besides doggies, they are the greatest gift the creator gave to mankind. Kidding bout the doggies.
Sexual addiction is a crock of sh*t. The interesting thing I've noticed of late is if you treat a girl/women as a lady, most now respond in kind, including most Spring Break type sluts who want to act like idiot male teenagers. I think they're getting tired of metro-males and out-of-control dipshits.
Just be a gentleman. If the woman doesn't respond in kind, you still have your honor and integrity.
These monsters believe that an insincere apology and a modicum of repentance are sufficient for absolution. Hold up, chief, there’s a small matter of penance, and it should be severe and meaningful. Most of these evildoers, being without religious faith in their lives, don’t get it.
They have to make up for the Sunday and Thursday Night Football advertising losses somehow.

No one asked for your apology, Matt.
Stuff it.
That is a confession.
“Not sure what you are asking.”
If he has, say three years left on his contract, will he get those three years’ pay since his employer cancelled the contract?
Lauer’s wikipedia page says that his parents were of two different backgrounds so he was raised without any religion. “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.”
I wonder what his divorce settlement will be. I cannot believe his marriage will survive such public humiliation.
Again, as with all liberals, he is only truly sorry he was caught and called out.

I agree with you about sex addiction. I feel like it’s an easy fallback excuse for these people, including Bill Clinton.
I’m a female and while I realize some females are sexual predators and sexually harass people they work with also, I have never bought into the sex addiction thing.
