Joselerio M PBS too. Charlie Rose didn't pay his interns and he subjected them to sexual overtures, according to reports. Isn't that servitude? Comcast needs to do a cleanup with an independent investigation over at NBC. And PBS needs to ensure oversight of its independent producers like Charlie Rose, or risk eroding the public trust on which it counts. Something is rotten at the aforementioned organizations for this vile behavior to go on for so long. We need to thank Ronan Farrow for shining the black light.

Kathie, what are you talking about? I quit my job five years ago because of bad behavior from my boss. I told HR and they stood by him because he's important to the company. Now, I can't find a job in my field without a reference, as they relayed this information to him. I hope it is a different time now. This is good news. I doubt NBC would have fired Lauer without evidence. I have no sympathy for Lauer. There hasn't been much sympathy for me or other women like me until now. I don't want sympathy. I want respect. Why should we be sympathetic for this man?

Yes Kathy Lee, we are all lowly humans needing forgiveness. However, Matt Lauer is a grown man and allegedly had a "way of life" living in this sort of behavior. Predators come in all shades, sizes, and roles. I personally hold people in powerful or leadership positions to a HIGHER standard. If anyone is innocent--- the truth will show itself. Those who have nothing to hide--- will remain standing in the light. Thank you

I remember watching "Today" once, over 20 years ago, when Matt Lauer made a remark that I thought was really inappropriate. He said Katie Couric wanted naked pictures of Mel Gibson but has to settle for Joe Witte (a meteorologist for "Today" at the time). Couric just kind of shook her head and tried to "haha" it off, but I couldn't believe it. That was an out-of-the-blue sexually tinged comment that embarrassed a young, undeserving Katie Couric, who had in no way provoked it even as "banter". I thought it was really inappropriate and weird and it's stuck with me for 20-25 years (must have been early '90s).

They feel they want be believed if they report it or they will be fired. Everybody is talking about their warm fuzzy feelings about Matt. What about his victim or victims. Who feels sorry for her? Report the story and keep your personal feelings to their selves.

Matt worth millions he'll buy his way out of this like many do. Shame on you Matt Lauer, you will be forgotten in time like all the others. NBC did the right thing by letting you go. 100% . Bring Back Ann Curry !!! She's my choice I'm sure most would agree. I'll be surprised if Matt apologizes hopefully he will not that it will change how people view him after this bombshell.

This was a rational interview until the end when they start empathizing with Matt and encouraging forgiveness. This man knowingly abused his power, serially cheated on his wife, betrayed his colleagues and hurt many women (and his family) in the process. These women clearly have strong cognitive dissonance (struggling with two different realities at the same time) but it would have been wise to think through their statements more before speaking. Ultimatley, this was a terribly LONG OVERDUE firing, a massive improvement to the safety of women at NBC, but more importantly, a major signal to the world about how we need to respect women.

yea no Matt is trash for disrespecting women and if people can’t learn to properly punish a sexual assaulter then nothing is gonna change you can’t say that you still support him if you really want things to c

Never liked these two to begin with, detest them more then ever now.. save your sob story for the VICTIMS not the millionaire who used his power to take advantage of women.. just sickening!

NBC made the right decision. It was an amazingly courageous woman that found the strength to tell her story. Bless her. I imagine that the women in Matt Lauer's life will finally find out, how non existant, his respect for women really was. My heart breaks for his female family members and friends that had to find this out in such a public way.

Why feel sorry for Matt Lauer? He is a RICH, WHITE, EDUCATED CELEBRITY, he will not be facing foreclosure (probably a penthouse apartment), he will not have to remove his children from private school, his rich, white, educated friends will not abandon him. His wife will not divorce him. He will not lose anything from this. Matt Lauer will most likely gain a talk show, a podcast, and other benefits that will keep him connected to his rich, white celebrity lifestyle. Matt Lauer will be just fine.

Knock it off, Tatina. The "white" comments are unnecessary.

Your sad for someone who is accused of such things?, i'm sorry I don't understand. If my friend was accused of this I would feel sick. If he did these things then it's not ok. I also don't think NBC would have fired him unless it was pretty bad, probably more was found than they have even said.

Tell me how can Matt be your friend with all the horrible things he has done like with Ann curry and Al Roker and the women he violated..... I could not ever respect and like a man like this let alone still be my friend... I stop watching today show after the horrible 9/11 show i could not stand the way he was reporting on that dreadful morning....I switched to GMA and have watched everyday since. Now i may go back to nbc but the damage has been done!!!

"He had a button under his desk that allowed him to lock his door from the inside without getting up." WOW. If I had a friend like that I would not be this generous. Shows how pathological he was in his harassment.

First comes anger, then justice, then change. Only when those things have been achieved can forgiveness be considered. Cornell West talks about premature forgiveness
