Lawyers for Matt Lauer are working on landing the shamed anchor a $30 million golden sexual parachute following his NBC firing.
Sources close to the disgraced newsman say his team is working on a plan to get him paid through the remainder of his $20 million a year contract which still has a year and a half to run. Modal Trigger Matt Lauer and Eddie Burke Jr.MATT AGUDO/INSTARimages.com
A source close to Lauers team said, They are currently looking at his contract and determining whether the claims against him, which clearly would affect any moral clause in his contract and his ensuing termination would cut off his contractual rights to be paid through to the end of his contract.
NBC had in 2016 renegotiated a new deal with Lauer valued at $20 million a year which would have kept him on the air through the end of 2018.
But moral clauses are often included in TV contracts and specify that talent could be fired without pay if they bring the company into any disrepute.
Another TV insider said, There is no way Matt is getting paid. There has been an irrevocable breach of Matts contract, there is a moral clause that says if he brings the company into disrepute which he clearly has NBC can terminate his employment immediately without pay and they do not have to pay out his contract.

The button you are referring to lets people in. The one he had kept them in.
“Life is full of things like this.”
You could be right, but I think you are wrong. The situation you cite definitely exists, but there are also good teachers who do right by their students. Life is not “full” of any one thing, but is a mixed bag.
how bout a DC powered switch with the polarity reversed?
“Life is not full of any one thing, but is a mixed bag.”
I didn’t mean to imply all teachers are bad. I meant that life is full of irony. Matt Lauer behaves so badly his employer must fire him. He then collects thirty million dollars for getting fired. Hillary Clinton attacks Donald Trump for alleged sexual harassment. She so inflames her followers that they begin sharing how they too were harassed. It turns out that only liberal supporters of Hillary Clinton are affected. Irony.
Ya know, he could always claim he was a diamond merchant in his spare time, and he needed to extra locking mechanism when he wanted to show off his “jewels”.
There is no morals clause in the contract?
Um, I think in Lauers case you couldn’t get OUT.
The only places that do that are the military and top data centers.
No kidding. If anything, Matt Lauer's pervtivities were probably the classiest thing going on at the the ol' peacock network.
I say he collects the dough. Matt Lauer brought NBC into disrepute a long time ago...and they paid him then so they’ll pay him now.
Say it LOUD!
.
restricting entry is fine, however restricting exit can be false imprisonment..the lock should have been able to be opened from the inside imo. fire codes probably would require a lighted exit push button or motion detector or other free and easy exit system

Hope he succeeds in bankrupting that Democrat network, and then has to leave the country permanently.
In the title words of Dr. Rick Marshall, “MATT LAUER CAN S-— IT”.
Lots of companies have locks that keep people out. This implies the women were locked in. If that’s not the case, NBC should show the public how the lock works.
They were aware of his behavior, he will get a payout!
Takes some freaking nerve. He may not get to spend it if the law ever catches up with him.
