Departed “Today” anchor Ann Curry could “destroy” her former co-host Matt Lauer if she spills all on the disgraced star, according to a report.

Curry — who worked alongside Lauer from 1997 to 2012 — has not revealed the extent of allegations leveled against her NBC colleague, a source tells US Weekly.

“Ann has maintained a dignified silence, but a lot of people confided in her years ago and still do to this day,” the source told the outlet. “She knows more than most about the man Matt really is, and when she finally speaks out, it will destroy him.”

Isn’t he the one with the secret door lock button under his desk, and didn’t he trap interns with it? I thought he’d already been destroyed. Oh wait...interns don’t count to Dims.

Me Again Kelly said last night on Tucker that if NBC released these women from their confidential agreement Matt Lauer would be burnt toast.

Isn’t he pretty much already “destroyed”? The story last week about Lauer sodomizing a drunken staffer didn’t do him any favors.

NBC is a collection of corrupt, vile, Stalinist propagandists. They are shrills for hedonism and decadence.

Yup. By holding her tongue she has obviously enabled him to CONTINUE ABUSING OTHER WOMEN!

Sanctimonious, self-righteous Feminism.

Not reporting rape is “dignified silence “?

Whatever man

Too late, he has already been destroyed.

EXCERPTED BACKSTORY---NBC announced last January on that it would replace disgraced former “Today” co-host Matt Lauer, naming Hoda Kotb as permanent co-host. “Today” has been beating “GMA” for the first time in years since Kotb stepped in after Lauer’s dramatic firing in November, perhaps issuing in a sea change in the highly competitive morning TV wars. The addition of Hoda Kotb to early portion of “Today” has resulted in five straight weekly victories for NBC. There has been speculation that Lauer was actually turning viewers away from “Today” ......post-Lauer morning shows are hugely important to the broadcast networks’ bottom lines.

Kotb will make roughly $18 million per year less than the disgraced Lauer who pulled in $25 million, according to the New York Post.

ABC will be under increased pressure to justify its hosts’ exorbitant salaries to ABC’s notoriously parsimonious owner, Disney. Now that he's failing in the ratings, maybe it's time for the network to choose a less divisive host and a more professional path. - Dan Gainor, Media Research Center

I feel so bad for Lauer’s three children.

Their dad is such a disgusting embarrassment.

New one. Where I’m from it’s called COVERING FOR HIM. And she’ll have more to explain if she finally cuts loose now than even he will (since everyone understands him).

VANITY FAIR----Graphic, Disturbing Details of Matt Lauer’s Alleged Sexual Misconduct
A bombshell Variety report alleges Lauer gave one female colleague a sex toy, and more.
BY YOHANA DESTA, VANITY FAIR, NOVEMBER 29, 2017

Shocking new allegations have emerged about the sexual misconduct scandal that is quickly enveloping Matt Lauer. On Wednesday, mere hours after NBC announced that it had fired the Today anchor because of a complaint about alleged sexual misconduct, Variety has dropped a report with hideous allegations about the TV star’s alleged behavior. The claims run the gamut: he made lewd sexual remarks about female colleagues; he once invited a female employee to his secluded office, then showed her his penis; he gave one female colleague a sex toy with “an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her,” Variety writes.

The dude was way past his prime. He may have appealed to female viewers, but once he went gray and bald, he probably lost a lot of them.

So lets put yourself in her position. Lets say you’re pulling down $5M. Your co-worker is pulling down $15M. And your co-worker is doing some really bad stuff. Not necessarily illegal, and not impacting his work performance, but bad nonetheless. Oh, and by the way, you know the higher ups already know whats going on.

If you go to the higher ups and tell them WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW, word will get out that you’re a rat, you’re done in the business. If he goes down, you go down. That fat paycheck is gone forever. Are you going to talk? Or just keep your head down and do your job?

Ann is 62. Matt’s victims were in their 20s and 30s. Matt liked young girls that were ok with sleeping their way to the top. Even if it meant rough sex with an old guy.
