I have no doubt that there are innumerable instances wherein Lauer has shown tremendous kindness and decency to people. And I also have no doubt that he's used his status as one of the most recognizable and powerful people on television to pressure women into having affairs with him. Then, when they wanted out, he undermined their careers on- and off-camera.

With Curry, Wolfe, and Natalie Morales, the m.o. was similar each time. Wolfe in particular owes her career to Lauer, but her wife and her seem to have animus about him.

  - 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
