The apology statement

There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions," Lauer said in a statement provided to CNN. "To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry. As I am writing this I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC."

"Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly," Lauer said.

The statement was timed for release with Thursday's "Today" show. NBC read the entire statement aloud on the morning show.

"Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and I'm committed to beginning that effort," Lauer said. "It is now my full time job. The last two days have forced me to take a very hard look at my own troubling flaws. It's been humbling. I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love. I thank them for their patience and grace."


What utter bullshit! "I got caught,so now I'm sorry." A lot more succinct.

They should replace him with Billy Bush. All he did was giggle and it cost him a career.


Brag about grabbing women in the pussy: win the Presidency
Laugh at someone bragging about grabbing women in the pussy: lose your career

Completely normal.

Not that he deserved to be fired, but he was pretty creepy in the video that followed the audio. Asking the girl to give Trump a hug and then asking for one himself.

I am pretty sure Lauer's lawyers had full editing and final say of that apology.

Of course. Her ratings suck, and she has no loyalty to Lauer. So it's a win-win for her.

I'll have the Today Show on as it is good background noise and I fear they are going to try and force her in as a replacement for him. The only thing keeping her afloat right now is that literally every show starts off with "SEX ASSAULT VICTIM X IS HERE!" and I guess enough women care to watch that though she is still lagging the show she replaced.

She just isn't very good at being funny or likable or interesting.

Yeah, I don't watch morning news, but I think people who do want to feel a connection with the broadcasters. That's obviously not Kelly's forte.

Since I have two daughters, this may affect my view. But at the time Lauer had sex with this woman, he was 41 and she was 24. Although both of legal age, he has an immense power advantage over her. Similar to Clinton and Lewinski. Neither Lauer or Clinton had any intention of a "real" relationship with these women--they were more or less "free" whores.

That is indeed an abuse of power, and although I don't think either should lose their job over it, it is immoral IMO. If some 40 to 50 year old guy in power messes with my daughter that way--thinking she is just a receptacle for his desires, he will have Hell to pay.

Hahahahaha, no he won't. What are you gonna say next, that whatever Matt Lauer does to your daughter, he'd better be ready to do to you?
