Matt Lauer allegedly sexually assaulted a female NBC staffer during the Rio Olympics, sources told Page Six.
The staffer, who has not been named and wishes to remain anonymous, complained to NBC bosses yesterday, prompting NBC News bosses to move fast and fire him.
A source told Page Six, “An NBC staffer come forward with a claim that Matt sexually assaulted her at the Olympics.
There have been rumors about Matt having affairs with subordinates at NBC for years, but those were believed to be consensual. This incident in Rio was not.”
Another source tells us that the decision to fire Lauer was made late last night by NBC News chairman Andy Lack.
Lauer’s firing comes amid rumors that numerous news outlets were working on stories about the Today anchor alleged sexual misconduct.

Agree.

Bullshit! Matt Lauer may well be a scumbag's scumbag, but even he has the right to face his accuser in public.
I am guessing for now they are safe...queers usually are...but I would bet their bosses will be women....
Have you or anyone close to you ever been fired? Were the details made public? Should they have been?
I feel sorry for guys who think that a relationship or sex session was consensual. The allegations look like “hits” timing is odd.
LMAO
!!!Finally these bastards are paying for their arrogance and dishonesty.....I hope there is more to come...I have no reason to believe there is not.

Lauer is still married.
i would like to see a montage of Laur commenting on Trumps - billy bush tape, his comments on Weinstein, and all of the rest of the perverts which Laur commented on. The hypocrisy has got to be thick.
That applies to criminal proceedings. Your boss can fire you for damaging his brand!!
The accuser’s name will come out, as will others. Plus, his wife will sue him for divorce.
No, does not apply, and when scurrilous accusations are made in public the accuser should not be allowed to hide.
A former aide to Donald Trump has alleged that he repeatedly molested underage llamas in her presence, but she wishes to remain anonymous. How do you like that?
I know, I know. I have been reminded multiple times.
There is more to come.
If that happens we should do the same and fire their asses!!! Oreilly's gone!!!
Well, I am sure there is a line where “men being men” turns into men being criminals. But, if you look around at the mammals that habitate the Planet, there is some amount of coercion that is to be expected when sex is involved. Women have some amount of it that they can and should handle on their own
I am sure Matt Lauer crossed that line, Weinstein did for sure. Franken? Not so much. But, since he is a menace, I am happy for his misfortune to joke about the wrong topic at the wrong time.
I am not Joe Biden so I will give a proper attribution: the king of college football broadcasting, Keith Jackson often called the center or the senior leader on an offensive line the ‘bell cow.’ As you may also know, he dubbed the offensive linemen ‘big uglies,’ a term embraced by both his media successors and the linemen themselves who paradoxically loved the nickname.
I miss Keith every Saturday.
NBC is trying to get out in front of a coming NYTimes article exposing a pattern of sexual misconduct over at NBC.
Due process be damned.
