Katie Couric has finally broken her silence over Matt Lauer’s sexual assault accusations and his firing from the “Today” show.
“The whole thing has been very painful for me,” Couric told People Magazine. “The accounts I’ve read and heard have been disturbing, distressing and disorienting and it’s completely unacceptable that any women at the ‘Today’ show experienced this kind of treatment.”
Couric co-hosted NBC’s “Today” show with Lauer for 15 years, but left in May 2006 to anchor “CBS Evening News.”
“I had no idea this was going on during my tenure or after I left,” she continued. “I think I speak for many of my former colleagues when I say this was not the Matt we knew. Matt was a kind and generous colleague who treated me with respect. In fact, a joke I once made on late-night television was just that, because it was completely contrary to our brother-sister relationship. It’s still very upsetting.”
The joke Couric referenced was made on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” in 2012 where Couric said that Lauer “pinches me on the a– a lot.” The recording was heavily circulated after Lauer was fired.

“I had no idea this was going on during my tenure or after I left,”
Yeeeeaaah, we believe that...right?
*Snort*
I wouldn’t trust her word for anything
Katie: I am shocked, SHOCKED to find gambling going on here.
Waiter: Your winnings madam...
She Knew.
She didn’t notice because she was too busy banging network execs in the elevator.
“I’m a GOOD German..!”
The piece of crap had a RAPE BUTTON in his office, who approved that? Why isn’t this being investigated?
At the roast Matt Lauer was openly joking, “Yeah right, as if Laurie really doesn’t know how big my dick is..!”
everybody laughed uproariously.
the two had had a sexual relationship, for crying out loud.
“The whole thing has been very painful for me,” Couric told People Magazine. “The accounts I’ve read and heard have been disturbing, distressing and disorienting and it’s completely unacceptable that any women at the ‘Today’ show experienced this kind of treatment.”
The soon to be Sr Citizen Perque One has “spoken”
lol
lol
And everyone reading this knows that she is lying. Everyone, every woman, who was worked in an office, knows whats going on especially when it involves sex or sexual matters.
Bill Clinton didn't rape the powerful protected women in his circles either ... Clinton went after the powerless.
Katie Couric is a brain dead idiot. A fool with zero awareness of what life is like for the powerless... what a jerk.
I'm glad Katie's a 'liberal elite' - I would hate to have someone that insensitive on our side. Matt could be abusing women one room over and this idiot would not see it - what a fool.
I can Katie's a valued member of 'the press' - she enables those who damage the vulnerable with her gullibility.
Is that speculation or have you heard this somewhere?
Bill Clinton didn't rape the powerful protected women in his circles either ... Clinton went after the powerless.
Katie Couric is a brain dead idiot for NOT seeing this. A fool with zero awareness of what life is like for the powerless... what a jerk.
I'm thankful Katie's a 'liberal elite' - would hate to have someone that insensitive on our side. Matt could be abusing women one room over and this idiot would not see it - she's played.. a gullible fool. Gives insight into some of the other 'elite' crappy choices that come out of this group.
Explains why Katie Couric's a valued member of 'the press' - she enables those who damage the vulnerable ... she's blind, stupid, played, part of the reason evil wins so often. Useful idiot bimbo for the thugs of life. Go eff yourself Katie Couric...
I read an article about the Lauer Roast. At one point, the article reported Couric saying Lauer liked to eat curry. When his co-host Anne Curry reddened, and the audience laughed, Couric said she was talking about the spice. If this is true, it raises a question about what everyone knew.
Let’s not respect the lying women in entertainment (‘news” counts as entertainment). Why respect these liars?
The kind of man comfortable with his arrogance and sexual dominance over his stable of women enough to drop his pants in his office and lock the door and insist on oral sex, is not going to be able to hide this attitude from his long time female partner. And he did pinch her on the ass a lot. She’s just a liar.
Did you mean Katie?
