Matt Lauer allegedly sexually assaulted a female NBC staffer during the Rio Olympics, sources told Page Six.
The staffer, who has not been named and wishes to remain anonymous, complained to NBC News bosses yesterday, prompting them to move fast and fire him.
A source told Page Six, “An NBC staffer come forward with a claim that Matt sexually assaulted her at the Olympics. There have been rumors about Matt having affairs with subordinates at NBC for years, but those were believed to be consensual. This incident in Rio was not.”
The network does everything it can thing of to please you, day after day. They give you money, perks, prestige, and a steady supply of willing young interns to keep you happy.
It is like you're married to the network, and the network is a particularly willing and compliant spouse.
So, what went wrong, here?
Well, as many of you know, even the best marriages can eventually get to be... comfortable and routine. So the inclination is to spice things up a bit. Maybe a little pressure is applied. Maybe you take out those padded handcuffs you got at the bachelor party all those years ago...
And the next thing you know, you're assaulting an intern in Rio. Hey, these things happen!
