The fast-moving national reckoning over sexual harassment in the workplace toppled another television news star on Wednesday when NBC fired Matt Lauer, the co-host of its most profitable franchise, “Today,” after an allegation of inappropriate sexual behavior with a subordinate.
NBC News told its staff that it was firing Mr. Lauer some 34 hours after the woman and her lawyer visited the network headquarters in Midtown Manhattan to share details of her interactions with Mr. Lauer with company executives.
On Wednesday, NBC received at least two more complaints related to Mr. Lauer, according to a person briefed on the network’s handling of the matter. One complaint came from a former employee who said Mr. Lauer had summoned her to his office in 2001 and then had sex with her. She provided her account to The New York Times but declined to let her name be used.
She told the Times that she felt helpless because she didn’t want to lose her job, and that she didn’t report the encounter at the time because she felt ashamed.
She said NBC’s human resources department had contacted her Wednesday to ask her about her allegations.

Wow. The world is coming apart at the seams.
Why now? I don’t get it. Maybe there was an undercurrent of frustration during the last election and women both on the left and the right saw the hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton.
Wish someone would file on Chuck Todd. I would love to see his swarmy butt go down in flames
What did NBC know and when did it know it.
On deck is none other than Chuck E Schumer (Rat-Gentrified Section of Brooklyn) who,while known as Pedro Danger,has been tweeting photos of his junk to 12 year old boys.
THAT is the question I will wait on Rush Limbaugh, et al, to address before trying to process the particulars.
Like the Las Vegas Massacre, I firmly believe the general public does not have enough access to information to draw an informed conclusion.
Delightful!
He doth protest too much in trying to block the MAGA agenda.
he turned me into a newt!
” One complaint came from a former employee who said Mr. Lauer had summoned her to his office in 2001 and then had sex with her.”
So, he raped her against her will? Or did she screw him and then later wish she hadn’t have? It matters.
Seems after the Bill Cosby scandal, at least some of these complaints would have surfaced. Now it seems every day there is a new one.
70 years post WWII. The Establishment is over. Hillary was the first domino.
Happy New Year!

His producer got fired today, will this be a case of following the boss’s example?
I’d put him on the short list not far below Todd.
Who got baptized?
Whorealdo is one of the biggest sexual creeps in all of Fakenewsistan. Quick retirement coming? Impossible for him to escape this round unscathed.
