Former NBC “Today” show host Ann Curry opened up about sexual assault in the workplace and former co-host Matt Lauer on CBS’s “This Morning,” where she said the allegations against Lauer “didn’t surprise” her.
Lauer was fired from the network in late November after a woman came forward alleging sexual harassment by Lauer that went back to the 2014 Sochi Olympics. NBC said this was the first accusation it had recevied about Lauer in over 20 years at the network, but “we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.”
Lauer admitted that “there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed” but that some of what he is accused of “is untrue or mischaracterized.”
