Matt Lauer just terminated by NBC over allegations.
He is the rw'er no?
Easy to cut them on just allegations

It should go without saying but all the stuff about one allegation just now coming to light is bull. He’s been an open secret predator for more than 20 years. But... better late than never. No more should the scumbags be protected by the politeness of normal people who know better.
I think it was secret enough not to be published by the Minnesota Nice press, but my old boss told me about him 10 years ago. Women “in the know” including the woman my boss married knew enough not to go near him.Wait, what? You're going to have to source that kind of allegation. Zero sources I'm reading say anything to that effect.

There are a few comments that seem to mirror your statement.
As the co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Matt Lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her, which left her mortified.
On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his *****. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act.
He would sometimes quiz female producers about who they’d slept with, offering to trade names. And he loved to engage in a crass quiz game with men and women in the office: “f—, marry, or kill,” in which he would identify the female co-hosts that he’d most like to sleep with.
Jesus. What makes civilized people think they can act this way?

I trust that most of us can’t imagine ourselves acting this way but we’ve all wondered if power could so completely corrupt us. I’m sad to make the realization that it’s almost 100% ***holes that ever get to the “top” of these professions. ie CEOs are nearly all sociopaths. So no, I wouldn’t act that way if I was in charge... but I’ll also never have the chance to prove it.
