All The Matt Lauer Scandal Details: His Statement, Geraldo Rivera's Defense Of Him & More | PeopleTV

[@traceyramirez4360]

He’s just sorry that he got caught.

[@kevincady5613]

I think Matt thought he was untouchable... hence his question to Bill O’Oriely. Pretty revealing!

[@lauranorwar]

It seems that for a long time, he was untouchable.

[@abrahambennett4656]

You probably dont care but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I would love any help you can give me

[@jamaristetson1238]

@Abraham Bennett Instablaster =)

[@patstokes3615]

People are always full of sorrow and regret when they are caught.

[@wisdomseeker3362]

Geraldo Rivera... you have got to be kidding me when you called Matt Lauer , a 'gentleman' ? ! Matt in *no* *sense* of the word is a gentleman. He is a harassing coward. He has been so cruel to both sexes throughout the years. Matt Lauer is the kind of person that thinks they are untouchable *UNTIL* karma catches up to them and they truly see their mistakes . I don't like bad things happening to anyone , but some people *really* have it coming!

[@clarice525]

How ironic!! I am sure Matt never believed he would be in the same position as O'Reilly. And he is treating O'Reilly pretty roughly considering that he is no better.

[@marilynm-gonzales1159]

clarice525.

[@pokespencer23]

He needs to take to his wallet and pay for his misdeeds. Nobody cares about him being sorry. He’s just sorry, so sorry he got caught.

[@paulaharlfinger829]

Maybe. But, my guess is that he has regrets beyond just being caught.

[@lianecornils905]

Buttons to lock the doors? Anytime someone has to lock something, you know theirs trouble. 👍🏻

[@francesbowles9079]

Saying he is sorry and he will work on himself is so pathetic. He knew what he was doing. He is an embarrassment.

[@tadekmajewski]

Geraldo Rivera in hot waters again, if that's the case?! it won’t be the first time for him. It’s hard to follow his logic I must say, I have been around long enough to know that about Geraldo. Matt Lauer is obviously not the guy most people had thought him to be. He’s out now and that’s how it should be. Who else needs to be exposed? Keep on coming!

[@marciam6224]

Matt Lauer is THE reason I quit watching the Today Show. When he forced Ann Curry out, I could see what an evil jerk he was. I can't believe his wife has stayed with him through the years knowing what he was doing. To accept "gifts" of horses and a fancy stable in return for her silence is disgusting. IMO, that puts her in the same league with a woman who sells herself for money. As for him apologizing, I don't believe for one second that he is sorry for what he has done, only that he got caught. Now, the comments made by Geraldo sound an awful lot like the ones Matt made to and about Bill O'Reilly. So who's the next one to go down? Maybe Geraldo? Since he seems to see nothing wrong with what Matt did, is it because he himself has also "been there, done that"? IMO, if he has, then he is no better than the others who've been spotlighted for their inappropriate behavior. Let's go after Joy Behar. The picture of her groping Robin Williams groin shows she doesn't get it any more than the rest of them.

[@maestasify]

If cheating on your wife is not sexual misconduct as well, I don't know what is.

[@Thatsswell-hr9ev]

If cheating on a wife or husband were illegal then I think half the adult population would be convicted of "sexual misconduct".

[@tejdeep125]

That is a personal matter, no one outside of the marriage should have a say in it (given the cheating in question was consensual).

[@margothatcher7906]

i agree, and some women get nasty when it is over, and start saying it was sexual misconduct, some couples have a open marriage so what do we call that. l know many women who are seeing married men, l would never do that, but it happens. We do not own a person...

[@paulaharlfinger829]

I was a little surprised at that statement as well.

[@ingloriousbasterd3067]

You just know that Rivera is probably just as guilty and that is why he is defending poor little "Matt"...# scum bags stick together.

[@caspertfg7488]

Inglorious Basterd Oh for sure ! He even l👀ks like a perv...

[@acgillespie]

And you don't?

[@acgillespie]

Yea I bet you take really good care of her don't you? the truth always comes out ya know

[@ingloriousbasterd3067]

Yes and the truth is that I consider her more my baby girl than just a cat and love her the same way...also I am currently rescuing a stray cat before the cold weather sets in...:)

[@capth00k]

Bette Midler claims that Rivera groped her many years ago. So there ya go.

[@jamminman2867]

Katie Couric did not stop this? She was the most powerful person at NBC.

[@barrrylincoln]

If you lock up all the married men that ever chased women trying to get in their britches, your going to need A LOT more prisons.

[@demostheodorakakis6328]

Nylon guy Matt. NBC is to blame also.

[@MrNate858]

So sad that he cheated on his wife. He needs to rot in hell.

[@texasgina]

Nathan Vu Cheats, not cheated! He's a scumbag and finally was exposed

[@MrNate858]

For sure, Gina!

[@darkwindksheyna]

Va, gina!

[@davyb1091]

no, he doesn't

[@marcoscarajol4837]

He is "sorry" because he got caught.

[@wisdomseeker3362]

Ken Johnson Great deciphering! You're so correct. It's the same old story..the perpetrators always hate getting caught, right? !

[@riveromontara1242]

Quote: "Lauer allegedly then asked her to unbutton her shirt which she did." Just one little question: Why did she do that?

[@ptbaines]

Geraldo Rivera apparently exhibits the same behavior. I saw an interview with Bette Midler years ago, she told of how Geraldo Rivera sexually groped and frightened her when she was new in the business. He should have been arrested, it was that bad.

[@enzadelia5496]

what midler failed to mention that there were in sexual relationship as revealed in his book and also she continued to go out with him on outings so im not really buying her claim

[@ballsoutballistic]

I would be interested in hearing Couric's take on what is happening to Matt Lauer now.

[@emfisher8168]

He "Matt" knew during that interview he was getting fired soon, if they couldn't reach a "HUSH" settlement..... That's why he said what he said in the questioning and why O'Reilly got frustrated and huffed & puffed @ 6:38 because he knew Matt was comparing the two of them and was pleading for his job!!!!

[@patstokes3615]

They are all wolves, every one of them. "Run with the wolves and learn how to howl" And these channel is one of the worst. Everyone is always sorry when they get caught. Was he sorry the day before he got caught. I don't think so as he has been cheating on his wife for years. That's life, he make his bed, he thought he had gotten away with it and I bit it wasn't all the the past either. He said he had pain and regret for what he did, No Shit.

[@blondwiththewind]

Nix the multiple whoots of surprise. One is a "slip"....multiples are unprofessional

[@fasteddie9055]

Rivera needs to be investigated also. Birds of a feather fly together.

[@RobThompson-de2db]

This is very disturbing to me. I was raped by a high school boy in 1974 in a bathroom when I was 7. This happens to men too, not just women. This happens to men too, not just women. Just wanted to get that out there

[@trojanlamb909]

Can we all just agree it's time to have an attorney present for all sexual encounters with contracts written up and notarized.

[@staceygreen9519]

That's beyond sexual assault! That's rape!!!

[@givaf9309]

she unbuttoned her blouse... she didnt say he forced her.

[@allenpenticuff5725]

drmrgrl 0013 have to agree normal reaction isn't to not only say no but help make it easier by getting undressed blouse was not yanked down if this is a lie she told it🤗

[@conniebarnes9274]

It's tough to deny the allegations when there are video clips of this happening. I liked Matt and thought he was professional. I was wrong. Get the help you need, Matt. And, this happen in so many different venues and most people won't discuss it happening. That's changing.

[@Anteroization]

he lost his looks once you pass certain age you cannot get away with sexual harrasment, that's all,

[@joanmcnally9172]

Geraldo Rivera should be next.

[@michelleahern-crane4570]

You're GLIB, Matt. You're glib.

[@omennemo8844]

Human's are flawed. This happens amongst people who are not famous. The average woman or man has a hard time trying to get someone to believe they are being sexually harassed. They tend to ignore complaints or throw it under the rug. The average person making the complaint is usually retaliated against by those in authority and are made to look like they are the problem. They know a poor person does not have the money to sue. However, famous people committing these humiliating acts are exposed to the world and their humiliation is ten fold. I hope these headlines informs the average person going through the same thing courage to come forward and file their complaint and see it through. Watch out for retaliation.

[@wiretamer5710]

You know... I get very sick of people screaming about 'due process' when the very essence of our civilization is about AVOIDING due process for good or ill. Responsible lawyers will always tell you that an out of court settlement is always preferable to litigation. Politicians champion the philabuster over the 'nuclear' option. Diplomats prefer back door negotiations over public slinging matches. GP Doctors often use intuition to select an appropriate cure rather than wait for scientific tests. People often brake road rules to get where they are going dead on time. People often trust their own intuition and beliefs over statistical and scientific analysis. Public health officials often talk in terms of safe levels of toxic substances. Business people champion having 'the edge' over their competitors. THE MILITARY TALK IN TERMS OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE. Then there is Marshall law, and declarations of emergency. Due process has its place, but to call it some sort of sacred cow is ridiculous. When people are in a crisis, due process often falls by the wayside and there are many good reasons for this to happen. What is happening in western culture concerning sexual harassment and sexual assault in the workplace is that a critical mass of people have decided that an old social norm in now unacceptable, and it is hiding a huge and ongoing crisis. There are systemic elements of our civilization that are in fact barbaric, and we must stop it ASAP. YES. Trial by media is a travesty of due process. BUT due process has FAILED to address these issues, and every day people are hurt and left to suffer alone. The cost of this destruction to our civilisation is massive. Particularly in the destruction of female talent. This cost is far grater than any collateral damage done to relatively few people who are falsely accused. A few undeserved scandals are nothing compared to the scores of people who've had their careers and lives destroyed We must reassess the massive underrepresentation of women in leadership roles throughout our culture, in light of systemic sexual harassment in the workplace. Our civilisation needs every outstanding individual to be operating at full capacity, we must rise to the challenges of the coming decades. We can no longer afford to carry the predators, bullies and vampires. They are not worth it. No person should be too big to fall.

[@acgillespie]

females need to be wives and mothers once again.. they are needed at home where they belong Obviously..They can learn some Morals & values so they can teach them to there young..problem solved

[@ichigorobei]

At 7:15 the moderator starts talking about "due process", but when Matt Lauer or anyone else accused of similar behavior admits they did what they are accused of and/or refuses or chooses not to go through an investigation or to proclaim their own innocence, they are basically admitting guilt and further need for any "due process" ends there. Matt Lauer apparently found enough truth in what charges he was confronted with by NBC and chose not to fight it because he knew that the truth would come out. He could demand "due process" and fight back in the press, but apparently he didn't believe enough in his own innocence. He knew the facts. He knew what he'd done. Any more "due process" would probably only have made Matt Lauer look a lot worse.

[@RealityHurts923]

LoL so if a female falsely accuses a man, he should just stay silent and take his life being destroyed? Fuck you

[@nicksnyder-wright4465]

Also no one should borderline rape another person. Cuz that's what matt did.

[@Beaches_south_of_L.A.]

Is this peopletv show produced for and only on KZbin? (As in not on normal broadcast TV) It's an excellent show. Both of these two reporters are excellent. Prior to watching this episode I'd never heard of either of them or the show.. It's a really well made show. I think it's really cool if this channel is made for KZbin.

[@philipciccone7280]

[@juliancrooks3031]

Why are people still talking about this? He got caught, he got fired, he is history,his career is over. His marriage is over .

[@witchone8162]

Julian Crooks the same reason you watched this and commented.

[@bluecollarlit]

Did the announcer say Matt lauer's wife was married to him for 19 years? Wow, that's a long time.

[@clarice525]

Oh, Matt Lauer!! What exactly are you going to be "working on"? No women will ever trust you again. It's too late!!

He sure got paid a lot of money to screw around with women all day. Kept it up until caught and THEN decided to be SORRY. Later dude. Hope you saved some of your millions.

[@missdaisy5736]

It has been a long long time coming. Women have finally joined together about the problem of sexual harassment.

[@lianecornils905]

sheila sheehan That's right!

[@lianecornils905]

sheila sheehan where are the police, why s she yet unidentified. This is called rape.

[@lianecornils905]

sheila sheehan feeling it's her issue to quiet the story lest she loose her job? Come on, this is the problem. Police should be involved, and the whole let's cover for our job theory put to death.

[@sweatingbullets7295]

sheila sheehan You are joking, right? So the problem of sexual harassment only affects women, is that what you are saying? At least your time has come! There are many men out there who suffer the same indignities as women but are too afraid to speak out. Why is that do you think 🤔 Will men ever see justice for unwanted advances and harassment in the workplace from their female colleagues? I think not! You may think that all of these stories coming to light are huge victories for all women who have suffered through sexual harassment, and you maybe right. However, sexual harassment is a “human” problem and the hatred and loathing of men displayed by the media these last few months has done nothing to help the men who have battled through the same circumstances, simply because their manhood would be brought into question. If you want to have something to say then say it, it’s your right. But speak up for everyone!!!
