Former “Today” show staffer Addie Zinone spoke on camera for the first time on Monday, Dec. 19, with NBC’s Megyn Kelly, detailing the blowback she’s gotten since coming out about her brief consensual relationship with fired “Today” show host Matt Lauer. She also revealed why she made the decision to go public about their affair.
Zinone, who was a 24-year-old production assistant for the show when the month-long relationship with Lauer started, said she wasn’t speaking out to present herself as a martyr, but to put a face to some of the allegations that have come since Lauer was fired.
