NBC News Fires Matt Lauer For Inappropriate Sexual Behavior In The Workplace | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Apparently rich dudes think they can do anything...don't shed a tear for this fool. He can live the rest of his life very comfortably with a full bank account.
but not Donald Trump...he would never use his power and wealth to harass a woman like these Libs
it is not about being rich or poor. Men(human beings) when in powerful position, abuse the power towards those who are weaker.. They do it to women, other men, children. it isn't only sexual. it is abuse in so many forms.
Money is everything. Reputation is meaningless. Decency is obsolete. Murica.
veramentegina some men. some human beings.
Damian Allen Totally Agree
Jesus! No one died, a bad guy got caught.
LOL
Wow! I wonder if this was the reason Lauer was so horrible to Corey Feldman in his interview. Sexual predators HATE people that report sexual assault and any will find any excuse to tear them down.
this is BS a whole lot of people knew this, and it's killing me when they are saying that it hard to believe
Most people are afraid for their jobs. They have families to take care of. It's great to stand up and expose your bosses, but at the end of the day, you still have to eat.
Exact same thing I thought.. Spear me the sad fake disbelieve speeches and the fake disdain Plz... And that is how they hide the truth from other real news..
Why are they honoring him?
They're simply acknowledging exactly what they said: It is a very complex array of emotions to try and reconcile that someone you've known and loved for so long could have done something so awful. And just as it would be dishonest to sweep all his flaws and evils under the rug in order to present him as a hero, it would be equally dishonest to now sweep away all the good he's done and just thrown 20+ years of close friendship under the bus. Sexual harassment and assault are wrong, and both do a lot of damage to the people victimized by it. At the same time, people can do both great good and great evil in their lives. There is a good amount of documentation that Ghandi was a sexual predator of sorts, in that he would force his neices and other young girls to sleep with him naked in the same bed, in order to prove how strong his vow of chastity was (you can look this up yourself--it has been brought up repeatedly in recent years in various Indian papers). He lost several friends directly due to this behavior, and alienated some of his family. But he also did an amazing amount of good in his life, and you can't simply disregard all of it because he made some very repugnant choices in addition to that.
Charles Clark because they are morally challenged...
I always had an uneasy feeling about Lauer when watching his interviews. He always come across as a pompous, arrogant, smug jerk who talks down to people. The way he treated Ann Curry was disgusting when she was crying on the couch when she was let go. I didn't watch anymore of his interviews after how he treated Curry. I'm glad to see him gone. This is sending out a strong message that no matter how much status and money you have in the media or any other industry, it will not be tolerated for you to abuse your position of power to harm another innocent person. It is LONG OVERDUE.
'Where in the world is Matt Lauer?" now we know.
Justice for Scarborough's murdered intern!
He needs to be in prison!
Lol
If they were all his friends then how they didn't know this man was a creep? Surely someone knew😳
One can only imagine how many women are getting Christmas bonuses to keep quiet at this stage.
Stop with your words of what a wonderful guy he is. How you respect him and he is such an icon. In spite of what he has done, you still reap him with compliments of adoration. Disgusts me.
don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time... hopefully people in all levels will realize this isn't 1965 - while it was NEVER acceptable, it was 'accepted' - it no longer is. doesn't matter if you work in a gas station or are a movie star or president of the united states.
Good. He unfairly railroaded Ann Curry out of her job on the show. He got what he deserved. Another bully got put in his place.
As to the Ann Curry thing, corporations exist to pay shareholders a dividend. That is all.
BackAndStillBgMsDangerus Dangerus was she the one who made the complaint?
TCt83067695 - No crap!? Makes his firing even more satisfying.
Oh yeah. I forgot about that.
Stunned by this???? OMG.... you are stunned that he was brought to light. Don't pee on my shoe and tell me it is raining..... Powerful person at NBC news, Matt Lauer....here we go....powerful people think they are indestructible and can do what they want. Put a button under their desk (to hide that they have locked their door) to lock the door and do things that they want to hide. Stop going on about what a great guy he is. I hope you are brought down Morning Joe and your clinger girlfriend.
Excellent news.
Thank you NBC and all corporations who demonstrate a Zero tolerance ethic to inappropriate conduct against women in the workplace, including incidents that originate in a workplace setting.
Very good news if it stops. Flattering him isn't right !!!!!
one of the kings are we supposed to judge the character of a man on one aspect of his character alone?
Donald really needs to refrain from inserting himself into these conversations. You would think he would lay low during such events given his record, or at the very least not jump in to these conversations to criticize behaviors so similar to his own.
What a pity, Joe! Matt was a beacon, almost as clear as Charlie Rose. As much as I'll miss them, I agree the cleanup must be done so we reach a point of true equality for women and LGBTQ in society.
Roberto Leao .please.
#trumpsnext
thank god they got rid of him. i hated that show after he fired ann curry. when she left i quit watching today. i switched to g.m.a. much better show.
WOW! They are starting from the top...Women" Today it's your turn. The tables have definitely turned. Men start that RESPECT.
Karma
In the private sector employees are entitled to confidentiality. Why are all of these things so public? How can they make these massive public statements about his firing and the reason for it?
I'm no legal expert,
but isn't public disclosure of the reasons for involuntary termination illegal?
Why dont u get rid of the sexual offender President?
Isn't it Trump's turn now??
LOL NO!! seriously?? you watch too many fake news.. the very same people who are getting fired now are the same ones that told you trump is bad and trump this... and Hillary has a 98% chance of winning.... Now SHould give you pause. They were not telling you the truth.. ugh... you must be clueless.
Can't wait for 45 to fall.
reallyAZ nokidding me too
reallyAZ nokidding What are you talking about?
Savannah, Hoda = Pure Class.
Lauer, Kelly, others = Not So Much.
I understand about fear of losing your job, this is why we all needed to say something, women and men
I can't help thinking of how John Kelly stated that "women were sacred" in this country.
The American Entertainment Industrial Complex Is Coming Down!
I'm very shocked and I'm very sadden to hear to the news of the firing of Matt Lauer. This is not the Matt Lauer that we all knew of. This is not the Matt Lauer that I knew of when I tune in to the Today Show. I'm still very shocked and very sadden.
Yeah, it's kinda like finding out your dad or your uncle was doing this. I grew up with Matt Lauer in a way. He's been a fixture in the living room of our culture. I wouldn't say it's as bad, but it's a lesser version of the same kind of sting I felt when I realized I'd never taste my mom's Christmas cookies again.
Marcos Juarez why are you shocked? He plays a role on tv, outside that he is who he is
JustNYC • So what? I am shocked.
Elijah El I'm not stupid. It is just you are supporting Donald Trump who also sexual harassment accusations of his own.
Marcos Juarez Then you have been blind all those years. He is a narcist and a sociopath.
I find it extremely hard to believe that nobody knew. There was no gossip at the water cooler? There were no whispers?
Good for you
I'm shocked to hear this about Matt Lauer ! It's high time that women are not afraid to speak out !!
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL
I can't believe they are going on and on about how wonderful Matt is. You do know that there is still an employee working an NBC that is listening to everyone say wonderful things about the person that violated her and her boundaries? Seriously? You are telling 'good, ole boy' stories right now??????
I am a male who was an Optical diagnosis equipment in California. I had complained about a female who was doing inappropriate things, flashing herself and more, I was almost fired from the company for bringing it up. Men always lose. I think it is time for us guys to start carrying around GoPros.
oh yeah lovely. "Our hearts are with the accuser for having the courage to come forward, but also he's such a sweet guy" Am I the only one who thinks this sounds unintelligent?
"bad things" wow buddy, wow
Wow! Oh Well this is karma for what he unfairly did to Ann Curry! Now I can rewatch this show again! Bring back Willie Geist and Tamron Hall! Loved them as hosts! 😀
I won't sleep until Matt Lauer is in custody.
We love you Matt!!!!
Susanna Guthrie calls Matt Lauer's sexual assault "behaiving badly", yet again down playing illegal behavior in the higher echelons of society. If a man on the street had done exactly the same to anyone he would be locked up tried convicted and jailed. This is a perfect example of the two tiered system of justice we currently have - one for the rich and powerful and another for the rest of us.
Ummm. you can't really be heart broken for Matt AND his accuser. that's playing both sides.
Who is going to ask those hard questions like, "What is your favorite spice?" now?
What a kick In the face to the victim . This is way people think It's ok to do horrible things . "because he was loved by so many" Wow What is wrong with people?
My love and prayers go out to you! Keep it real and I will
That’s called KARMA,
What about Due Process. What about Innocent Until Proven Guilty? It scares me that innocent people can be taken down from their jobs and lives because of an allegation. What if the accused didn't do it? How does that said person get their reputation back? What about Due Process? For the men who did "do it" they're getting what they deserve, but I'm not comfortable assuming all women are righteous. Experience has taught me not all of women are righteous.
There is no 'due process' in the workplace. It is incumbent on the terminated to file civil action if they feel they have been wrongfully terminated (except in states with right-to-work laws, where employers may terminate any time without notice and do no have to provide a reason at all).
Who will fire Trump?
If Joe Scarborough is guilty I am sure Mika will leave him don't worry about her she will take care of her own self
I totally think everybody had an idea of who Matt Lauer was people talk in the workplace gossip is been out there for a long time they chose to deny just like Trump deflect
I could see this coming and hats off to wonderful Savannah Guthrie for handling it so eloquently.
Ann Curry is doing cart wheels
and then she's writing a book about how illegal immigrants won't let us do cartwheels anymore....Build That Wall...and who will pay for the wall....MEXICO....well maybe
Walls, schmalls. The Guatemalan ladies still wash and press the linens for Mar-A-Lago every single day. The don't 'sneak in' traipsing across four countries. They are flown in on regular airline flights and have been for years.
Bozo # 1: "You worked with him a long time."
Bozo # 2: "He's gone? Really? Good! I don't need to where my butt plug anymore!"
As a professional woman within the construction industry I know how condescension and unwanted advances can become pervasive. Luckily I surround myself with intelligent and professional men in my work but I do encounter these circumstances. Certainly some women may be inappropriate toward men at times, but in the workplace in my experience it is overwhelmingly the opposite. This must stop, and it is good to see that there are consequences. One can push back with bravado but once you don't feel safe, or feel insulted or are actually assaulted, it must be addressed immediately. It is disgusting that someone who views themselves to be in a position of 'power' can just do what they want in any situation toward any person.
Big deal, he taught you a lot. Now I guess it’s time for him to learn
i have an issue with how these anchors are speaking about laurer as if he died or something. okay, we know you worked with him and considered him a friend and had great memories with him, but what they are doing is humanizing a horrible act that this man committed by giving sympathy and personality his image. i understand that it is difficult to suddenly see someone you've known for so long in a different light, but they need to be shown what they have done is disgusting and must be treated rightfully so. laurer has been hiding his wrongdoings without consequence for far too long and i'm glad we finally know the truth.
wow you just never know how sick people are. now that we found out who he really is and he got fired that's a good thing I don't know what he was thinking but by just looking at his face he looks like a very nice man but they all have a different face at different times I wonder how many personalities does he have so it's finally caught up with him and now he has to lose his job but my question is why does it take so long for these women to bring on charges it should have been dealt with as soon as she got up or away from his desk I'm having a hard time processing this
KARMA!
That's not what 'Jump the shark' means Joe
I'm happy that there is a Day of Reckoning, but why now! I really think that this is a way to divert The public's attention from this horrible tax bill.
Oh,please, the problem is he" loved" his coworkers a little too much don't you think? Willie's participation in a mockery of sexual harassment was pretty appalling too. Lauer was arrogant and rude to people. I quit watching when he arranged to boot Ann Curry! Stop praising him,it doesn't say much about your judge of a person's character!
It doesn’t matter about everyone’s opinions on this, but I genuinely feel bad for all these reporters at NBC. They’re all genuinely saddened by this.
Another 3 in the show to go !
start at the top...fire the tangerine terror at the top...
Why did this feel like a sorrow piece for Matt? How do you reconcile? If your only connection to him was through your tv and your response was sadness or sorrow stop forming emotional bonds with tv personalities that you don’t really know. They all act surprised, but I’m sure word of his behavior was well circulated around their work environment just like all other work places where people gossip.
we all work with people that act carzy, and then the say oh it's just who ever, this didn't make it right, we have to be very careful, all the way around
And now we are left w Guthrie who is about as bubble headed as one can get. They should've kept Ann curry for a day like this. How will they find a serious person so quickly? You need one serious person
How about Carrot top? He's as good as any of these talking heads, and we might get a laugh out of our news. Remember, all these useless human interest stories we are getting instead of real news. We're at war, have soldiers deployed all over the place, but instead of reporting on that, we get videos about kittens. How our news media has failed us.
I'm quite upset I really liked Matt Lauer.
and here i just thought the man had a cocaine problem... lulz
It would be really awesome if the women coming out against these predators these sexual harassment guys do not ask for money just for their dignity on their pride when they start asking for money is when it gets a little dicey
My guess is Natalie Morales.
u cant tell me old matt dint make a pass at hottie samantha
cmon.....
judgin from this she dint mind.
u go gurl
I want to know more about the old scandal with Joe and the woman who died in his office at the house of representatives.
I still want to know.
Denise Hall what MMM
Denise Hall RUSSIAN BOT ALERT!!!
Steven,What are you talking about? I exist.I live in Mancos, Colorado.So how do you get an identity onTH-cam?I make comments all the time.
I am a real person.What makes you think I'm not?Explain.I must be missing something
Finally some real news from NBC
Poor old Joe is next.
So, as a #metoo victim, I just have to ask: If you had known what he was doing, would you still "love" him, "respect" him? If it had been known what he was doing, would he still have reached such a high place in his career? For those who did know or suspicion but took no action to, at minimum confront him, at most, expose him? Do you now "respect" yourself, "love" yourself?
"For evil to succeed, all it needs is for good men to do nothing."
-Martin Luther King Jr.
processing....give me a moment to process that. gezzzz
Willie Geist will take over Matt's spot, my prediction.
Ann Curry returns to the Today Show
they r all creeps
Poor matt? What about the victims? Sad that it took this long for people to find out how it really was.
Anyone else come here after watching the trailer for The Morning Show??
You reconcile their bad behavior by calling them out on their bad behavior and telling them how disgusting it is. I can’t really sit here and watch savanna Guthrie crying and telling us how much she loves Matt.
men need to start speaking up about the women who are inappropriate .... caz we know they're out there
awww did someone just die in TV land?
Trump is getting more nervous every day. As if his money laundering history wasn't enough.
Way too much focus on Matt lauer and not enough at all on the poor woman he harassed.
Perhaps the victim is not seeking attention.
She doesn’t need to identified to appropriately make it not about him.
who is next! from other news media!! trud started this behavior by being president!
FRANCES MAGNUS i would die if betty white is next
so we the people are losing another beloved entertainer... there needs to be a 'middle ground'. starting with innocent until proven guilty. Michael Jackson fed KIDS booze and SLEPT with them...
Later Lauer
dude looks like Chandler Bing
Your next Joe, you be phony
I going to give you A+ immediate execution!self management! Impressed
Men need to start snitching !!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
stfu you moron
Oo my first internet insult is this where we argue back n forth with displaced aggression for our own personal entertainmemt
katherine taylor preach!!!
Josef Mengele Nazi wow name calling? Might you be a Troll Sir?
SALUTE! They sure do!
caz ya know they're out there
Expect the unexpected
he can go get a job at walmart...
I love watching these guys get busted

When will it stop? When all men are out of jobs and shamed? It’s not harassment to hit on women.
Oak OC - yes, it is. Do not "hit on" a woman in the workplace! They do not want your attention! Especially if you are her boss, or in a place of power over her. She is just trying to do her job.
Wewe Mcrhyne I get that. However people work for most of the hours out of their day. It’s a natural response for people to feel attracted. At no point should someone exert their dominance by aggression or threats, but among peers, I think there is nothing wrong with the birds and the bees among consenting adults
Oak OC. Hit on and compliment two different things.
John Lamphier what are you saying? It’s not harassment to compliament or hit on anyone anywhere. This is a free country. But once someone refuses advances then the pursuer should respectfully fade away. But hitting on and complementing though different should not be illegal nor looked down upon
