NBC took swift action this week against long-time Today Show host Matt Lauer after the network learned that he’d allegedly sexually assaulted a female NBC staffer during the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014.
Now a five-year-old clip from Andy Cohen‘s Watch What Happens Live featuring former Today Show staple Katie Couric has resurfaced, causing many to tilt their heads and say “huh…”
“On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer. It represented, after serious review, a clear violation of our company’s standards. As a result, we’ve decided to terminate his employment,” NBC Chairman Andy Lack said in a memo to staffers.
“While it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over twenty years he’s been at NBC News, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident,” he continued.
Back in 2012, Couric was a guest on Cohen’s WWHL. At one point in the segment, Cohen asked Couric what Lauer’s most “annoying” habit is.
“He pinches me on the ass a lot,” Couric said.
“Wow, I wouldn’t have a problem with that,” Cohen replied.

Just like sick Bill Clinton, Matt Lauer used his power to abuse women. Hypocrites!

And your hero, Donald J. Trump! Oh, and Matt Lauer loves your hero too!

The left made a huge mistake trying to set up Trump and then Moore. I guess none of them ever read “The Prince”. In it, Machiavelli warned, “Don’t ever wound a Prince”. Why? First, if the prince survives, he will be in power in perpetuity. Second, there will be consequences for the attackers. Muller is next. Parts of the media are already beginning to demonize him and his merry band of corrupt prosecutors.

“I just came here to point fingers and live in denial” says Leobaga.

Trump is hardly a prince. Trump and Moore are not being set-up. Hypocrites about what?

Good Lord, isn’t it painfully obvious by now that this kind of stuff has nothing to do with political affiliation?

Trump wasn’t “set up” – everybody knows that. Either this is very bad trolling or you have a serious learning disability.

Vaguely unsettling that all it takes is one allegation from a woman and you’re done. We live in a patriarchy where men have all the power? Riiiiiight. Western societies are so cucked now. All about the female feelz.

Actually, this was the result of a 2 month investigation involving multiple women.
