In looking at the ST archives, the one I'd forgotten was Jenna Wolfe.

who was apparently cheating with Lauer on Stephanie Gosk or vice versa, depending on who you believe.

I mention this because they let Gosk do some of the reporting today, which feels like rubbing salt if Lauer's wounds. And that tells me some folks have wanted this for a while.

Responses:

I've still always had a hard time reconciling the type of behavior attributed to him with the obvious fondness his on air colleagues (other than Ann - pmb Nov 29, 08:19 8
- Something I've always said is that when you're capable of more, half of it is bad. -- (edited) - David Nov 29, 08:25 6
  - was he runmored to have had an affair with curry? -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:26 5
    - Oh yeah. There were even revealed blind items about it. -- nm - David Nov 29, 08:27 4
      - Really. I just thought the issue was that their ratings were tanking and he pushed her out. - pmb Nov 29, 08:29 3
        
        I'm actually over blind items since I think so many of them are total BS, but... - David Nov 29, 08:32 2
        
        That blind item was about replacing Ann Curry after she left, not about him having an affair with her. It suggests he had an affair with someone else - pmb Nov 29, 08:45 1
        
        Okay, I was reading about this like two hours ago, but I can't find it in my browser history now. Remind me in a few days. - David Nov 29, 08:58
- I am right there with you. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:20
I'm having trouble reconciling the idea that a guy fucking around in the office is automatically a sexual harasser; which actually is the issue here. - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:16 20
- if he's the star of the show and being at all coercive, there's a difference. I can choose to doorman my boss, but if my boss is aggressive at all - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:26 1
  - And 'lo, "doorman" becomes a verb. -- nm - Mop Nov 29, 08:33
- part of the problem is that Lauer or O'reilly or a person like that is in a postion of power - Remlik Nov 29, 08:25 10
  - that is kind of the easiest place to do it though. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:26 9
    - it may be. But you shouldn't do it. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 08:38 2
      - people should not smoke either...... -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:43 1
        
        oof. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 08:46
    - I'm kind of speechless at this. -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:34 5
      - why, you spend hours and hours with these people, more than your family in most cases. - groiny Nov 29, 08:36 4
        
        sure, but look at the problems it causes. It's not worth it. If he wants to be a player, be a man and do it where it won't effect - Remlik Nov 29, 08:44 1
        
        for every problem, there could very well have been 10 non issues. - groiny Nov 29, 08:47
        
        yes, but in most cases you can't be fired or sued for jamming non-work people. like, he had to have known it was wrong. - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:39 1
        
        co-workers throughout history have been jamming. - groiny Nov 29, 08:41
- I'm sure it is more than that -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 08:22 4
  - I presume as well, but the stories were him whoring around - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:25 2
    - Yes, but if he tanked the careers of his partners after it was over, that is actionable. -- nm - pmb Nov 29, 08:33 1
      - or if he bolstered them (morales). -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 08:35
  - I am slightly pleased that I no longer work at the bank, where the female to male ratio was like 20 to 1. - groiny Nov 29, 08:24
- For sure. Just like what Franken did is not what Moore did. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:17
- yeah, this is my thinking as well. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:17
Which STer was she? -- nm - WST Nov 29, 08:13
