The intern allegedly provided a photo “which was a major part of the evidence which is why the firing came so quickly.” It “was so damning that they had no other option but to fire him,” a source told the New York Post. The photo “showed incontrovertible proof of inappropriate sexual behavior on his part.”

I can only imagine what is in that photo.

Also, this story is very bizarre. The woman complied with unbuttoning her blouse, and then Lauer had sex with her, and she passed out. Lauer then had to summon NBC employees and a nurse to retrieve her unconscious body out of his office.

Whew!

So Matt zipped himself up, put the woman's clothes back on, and unlocked his office with his little button and called for help.

And no one suspected a thing...............

She said he locked the door from a button at his desk and he asked her to unbutton her blouse. She said she complied and ......

Lauer is a pig. And having the capability to lock your door with a button at your desk (while convenient) sounds borderline creepy.

That being said, this sounds consensual. If a guy asks a woman to unbutton her blouse, and she does, that usually means she wants sex.

Please let it be David Muir next.

The story is bizarre. If it were me, I would have immediately attempted to escape when he asked me to unbutton my blouse, and if unable to do so I would have attacked him with whatever I could find. The passing out part a d getting a nurse is bizarre also.

God in Heaven

Between abortion, selling baby parts and blood, and corruption on so many levels, we cannot survive as a country like this. It makes me ill.

The allegedly attacked woman could have been considering the possibility that her husband could get in trouble for assult or worse if she told him about lauer’s alleged attack on her and then the husband decided to go vigilante on lauer.

I am not. clear however on how the woman had a camera with her and could tak a revealing photo of lauer undetected. Maybe something involving a mirror, in conjunction with a blanket denial from lauer that the encounter ever occurred?

I think Lauer is a scumbag, but I’ve read two or three versions of this story this morning and in every single one of them it’s obvious the woman consented to have sex so how is it “assault”???

Notice the articles says he asked her to unbutton her blouse, she did. Lauer then got up from his desk and sex with her from behind. Sex. Not rape. Sex. Not assault. Sex.

Yes, Lauer is a scumbag for leaving her on the floor like a piece of trash, but where is the “assault”???

[SteveH]

Imho The only realistic alternative imho to resistance would have been if she were unable to be heard at the time of the alleged attack.

The only way that the alleged victim could not have been heard is if either the room had been soundproofed or if the alleged attack occurred during off hours (whatever those might be for his NBC office building).

[MPJackal]

I doubt Matt installed the button. So the network knew and was complicit.

I rarely even shut the door with a female employee and never ever locked it. Also had a former First Sergeant tell me he removed the door from his office as a Drill Sergeant so there could be no allegations.

[SteveH]

I believe that this I the same network that once ran I spy starring bill Cosby.

It has been alleged that NBC has a sexual misbehavior cleanup crew.

If that is so and proof comes out than NBC should be shut down permanently for i criminal illegalities.

These office types have too much energy and free time to think about things they want to do. Talking, talking, thinking you are special and powerful and people accommodate and enable your every whim. Toxic environment. Similar kind of job in politics. Proverbs 16:27-29 “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.An evil man sows strife; gossip separates the best of friends. Wickedness loves company—and leads others into sin.” This is TLB translation. It is different from other versions but I like the emphasis.

[Scotswife]

Why is it only being reported that she was married.
Isn’t Lauer also married? With children?

[Bigg Red]

I despise Lauer, but this story is just a little too difficult to believe. She unbuttoned her blouse at his request? She did not leave the company until a year later?

[Red Badger]

2001?

This scumbag has gotten away with this crap for 16 years or more?

They, NBC suits, HAD TO HAVE KNOWN.

They are just as guilty as accomplices...............................

[Wuli]

I wish millions of Americans would be the faces of these now exposed talking heads in the context of their appearances as interviewers of political figures or as election debate moderators and say to themselves - “and I believed that guy”.

The Lib elite has hid so much about itself from the American people, and now the American people need to admit that it was not only the moral failures of that elite that was hidden, but their manipulation of “news” to fit their deep political bias as well. They have been frauds all the way.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I don’t get the passed out thing. Did he choke her?

[Lockbar]

Another good Ol’ liberal rapist, just like Bubba. How nice.

[Jane Long]

....She said he locked the door from a button at his desk and he asked her to unbutton her blouse. She said she complied and claims he got up from his desk, approached her from behind, bent her over his desk and had sex....

---

Sounds like she complied with the unbuttoning of her shirt AND the bending over his desk.

Her first mistake was unbuttoning her shirt. That’s when you call your co-worker(s), or SECURITY, and demand they come rescue you from that devil’s den.
