“I’m grappling with, should I even share something? But I guess I really should,” Gifford, 64, said during the 10 a.m. hour of “Kathie Lee & Hoda.” “I don’t feel that Matt has betrayed us in any way at all but when I found out that my husband [Frank Gifford] had betrayed me, you question your own judgment. You say, ‘Was everything a lie?’ And I think we have to very much fight against that, that the man we know and adored was the man we loved and adored and continue to.” Gifford said she reached out to Lauer, 59, Wednesday morning and told him, “I adore you.” She described the day as a “very, very sad one” at NBC. She continued, “No person is perfect in this world. … And what we need now is forgiveness and mercy for one another.”Let's see how that holds up when she's under fire from Trump-haters.
Its OK to forgive him.
And its ok to say, “That’s not the man I knew.”
Both of those things are fine. But as an employer, you cannot keep the person on the books. They have to go. Your liability and exposure (no pun intended) is simply too great.
