Matt Lauer Fired
- Thread starter State43
- Start date
I just commented to my wife last week how hard/awkward it would be to cover these stories in the news if you yourself were doing the same things.
Matt Campbell's future > Matt Lauer's future
I actually am starting to believe that TV and Hollywood may pull their heads out of their collective asses.
Washington DC, not so much.

I'm definitely not sad for Matt with how smug and holier than thou he acts when covering anyone accused of wrongdoing.
Found it strange that Savannah said she was sad for him before she said she was sad for the victim who came forward. Guess it's different when your buddy is the perpetrator.

50 mil/year and still can’t stop being a DB. Wild
I’m still conflicted with this stuff. If they are doing these thing this is great that they are being held responsible. I never interact with people like these so I don’t know but I just have a hard time processing that this was as rampant as it was reported. If it was it is extremely disturbing to me that it was allowed to go on.
I know I’ve said it before but this stuff scares me as a guy who would never do anything like this with as much effort I can. It just makes me absolutely terrified to work with women though.
I’m not sure what the solution is but we need to get abusers out of society and also make sure we making sure others are aware when we are uncomfortable. I completely get why people didn’t come forward before but I think that might be some of why the situation is as bad as it is. Many likely don’t even realize what they are doing. Those are the types of situations that are more concerning to me because it comes from a misunderstanding.

I am all for watching the dirtbags get what’s coming to them. But it’s almost as if accusations = proof now which is a scary concept.
Just watched the start of the Today show and Savanah seemed to have a hard time keeping it together at times while doing this as their lead story. Must have been a very believable complaint with some kind of proof behind it for NBC to fire him within 24 hours of the complaint brought forward.
Savannah and Matt were probably sleeping together.
Don't assume that the first public complaint about Lauer means NBC had no prior insight into his behavior. To the contrary, his rapid firing probably indicates they are afraid of an avalanche of accusations getting into the NY Times.

My thought is he admitted .... and with that, pulled the trigger.
Wouldn’t surprise me. Wasn’t he and Natalie Morales having an affair, which is why Natalie ended up going to Access Hollywood?
I think it was kind of crappy to spring it on her like they did. I bet she’s pissed.
Not even a suspension to “look into it”, just straight up fired him- like @keepngoal said that maybe he admitted to it or maybe even had video proof?
See, but the thing is that you do likely interact with people like these. I think that, if you polled almost every woman on the board, they would have a story of sexual harassment or assault in their history.
This is NOT to say that women are the only victims. They just traditionally are victimized more as part of a male-dominant society.
Hey, everyone - we have to keep the politics out of the OT forum. Thanks.
I was really impressed how Gayle and Norah handled themselves last week when the Charlie Rose news broke. Don't watch nbc morning news but if what you said is the case that's bad.
