The Sketchy Double Life Of Matt Lauer

[@heavenstomurgatroyd7033]

One of the most powerful things I was taught as a kid was trust your intuition. He always creeped me out.

[@cdixon198]

Who would lie about some dumb shit like that. He’s a creepy looking weirdo.

[@9765-o6e]

Nobody cares about your powerful teachings as a kid

[@TheLastTitan007]

Stg thats what I was feeling. Its scary because I use to say he's just creepy AF.

[@stardustring]

Yes he was creepy

[@susanford2388]

The question is why was he allowed to continue. Who the heck was at the helm of the network.

[@slicklickum1880]

I never liked this guy and my instincts were confirmed. I liked Ann Curry...

[@sstone1940]

I believe there are a lot of high powered men who live a double life like this or similar.

[@Amanda-ul5nr]

[@marciamellow1211]

[@helixmoore7636]

Yep. Theyre rarely told no. And they buy their way out of trouble

[@josephpeeler5434]

Maybe they are news executives. How else to explain CBS and ABC News colluding to fire the alleged Epstein tape whistleblower?

[@onefoot7]

Bullshit....allegations, never proven guilty

[@noniemac]

Matt Lauer is a total creep. He rose to the top by stepping on people’s back, then abused his position. I’ve always hated him.

[@susanford2388]

The producers are the abusers as they allowed all of his vulgarities to continue all the way to the top.

[@dalexkom]

even Manson hated Lauer

[@davidking4838]

I never got his appeal. It was a total mystery to me.

[@josephpeeler5434]

I think Couric and Vieira knew about Lauer, but they valued their careers so much more than what he might do to other women. Career gals in media are very hypocritical.

[@josephinecamel9552]

I disliked Lauer from the moment I saw him. His sincerity is so transparently fake and he's always been so full of him self. I always thought Curry was brilliant and totally professional at her job. I also thought this about Couric and Pauley, who were also not well used or treated by NBC. But IMO, Curry was the best, her interviews were fresh, informative and engaging.

[@ianmangham4570]

Yup

[@theodoreboosalis]

Agreed. I don't agree with Katie's political inclinations - but she makes up for it by her ability to deliver a great story. To me that's transformative. :) Lauer - just a jerk. Never connected with him.

[@nunyabizness199]

Aren't they all that way...

[@ligayalacdao4333]

Matt Lauer is no match with Ann Curry. He's an abuser. Ann Curry should be the main TV Anchor not that ashole.

[@julieb7785]

On the rare occasion I ever caught his show, I used to think it was odd that I found him creepy, arrogant, over-rated...I mean how much can you discern via a t.v. screen, stupid banter, et c., but our instincts are more reliable than we are led to believe.

[@romant142]

Julie B ya for real

[@LeslieGMN]

What on earth was so special about Matt Lauer that NBC kept him, and kept recruiting dewy-fresh ladies to sit next to them, replacing them as Lauer diminished them and their glow dimmed? I just don’t get it.

[@montanamike7948]

NBC is garbage. That's why.

[@daniellamarsam4671]

People somehow thought he had the eye of charisma and “a way with the ladies”

[@daniellamarsam4671]

LeslieGMN oh and did I mention, emotional pathological manipulation

[@aixelanna]

What really scares me is that Matt Lauer actually thinks he is a victim. This shows how insensitive and calloused he is. My heart goes out to both Addie Zinone and Brooke Nevils. He is FAR more accountable for what happened than they are. He will never admit it because he is a selfish, self-centered, monster who is incapable of feeling someone else's pain.

[@ligayalacdao4333]

I totally agree. He should be in jail that monster ashole evil bastard.

[@ringpop6177]

I quit watching the show a long time ago because of him There was something egotistical about him

[@barbaraturpel5694]

Such a shame, when you believe you are so important and you steal the rights of others. Destroyed so many hearts who believed in him.

[@johnvanegmond1812]

What about the woman who knew he was married and slept with him anyway?

[@patricialangeveld1227]

His Dutch wife was very smart to leave him.

[@micheledavis9280]

Finally!!

[@jzwalz51robin45]

AFTER many many many sexual affairs with many many many women. Yeah, sure, she was soooo smart!

[@theonlymatthew.l]

If she was so smart then why did she get with him in the first place?

[@travelseatsyellowlab]

His wife looks like an ostrich.

[@josephpeeler5434]

She knew how he was. She only left him after others figured it out. She was waiting for the right time to divorce. I wonder how many more women were abused because she enabled her husband?

[@josephpeeler5434]

Tom Cruise: "You're glib Matt." Yep, Tom nailed it. That goes for most of the other news anchors.

[@kathyvenne3885]

Matt's a narcissist! Blame shifting and attacking his victims.

[@claudiar7186]

Calling some broads who didn't enjoy being hit on "victims" is a bit much.

[@johnvanegmond1812]

What do you call the woman who slept with him even though she knew he was married?

[@kenmills4739]

I call her Mrs Potiphar crying wolf

[@patinho5589]

Every body is a selfish narcissist to a degree

[@user-bx2pr4pl9q]

He sure is a narcissist

[@morningdove20]

Scary to think just How Many Mat Lauers there Are Out There

[@Pw6872]

This guy HAD to know that eventually at least ONE woman would rightly bring scandal to his life. And that it would forever ruin him. [headshakes]

[@patinho5589]

Rightly? Haven’t heard anything yet that he did.

[@msstellafay1320]

They always think they'll never get outed bcuz they're, smarter than everyone else.

[@leecone4051]

He was one of those people that gave me a intensely bad feeling from day one.. I wanted to start an “ impeach laur” movement. Karma is ever present!

[@jamesoncross7494]

Egomaniac.

[@chairde]

He had the balls to interview Ronan Farrell in front of his coworkers.

[@BeGlamourlicious]

That is psychopath behavior.

[@foley15136]

Unceremoniously fired? Has anybody been ceremoniously fired before?

[@nickjimenez6138]

How these idiots are getting away with this behaviour is beyond me. But, thankfully, with social media and cameras being everywhere its more likely that they will be caught, hopefully.

[@macarena778]

He was obviously threatened by Ann Curry.

[@jamilynflorida6612]

She was so much better of a reporter and journalist!

[@frenchanthony2226]

Agreed, Mrs Curry had the brains and talent to be there. Lauer, just got lucky!

[@katierojas8066]

I mean dang, he hit on everyone. Did he hit on Al Rocket too? Sheesh this guy was a walking horn dog.

[@katierojas8066]

Tracey Trotter bc she is way out of his league. He’s scuzzy and she is so classy.

[@silviaschaefer6691]

Katie Rojas No he was narcissistic and had a huge ego, thinking that he was a god of some kind. When really some of these woman thought they could enhance their career but he stepped on people’s backs and it backfired on him.

[@salicemccool9186]

I admit to never having seen this coming. In fact, back when he was the newsreader (sic,) I thought he was too nice to be palsy-walsy, as he seemed to be, with that pompous jerk Bryant Gumbel.

[@elon3463]

I agree. I am reading all of these comments from people saying they knew, but I never picked up on it at all.

Yeah! Now tell us what you think of the woman/women who slept with this guy even though they knew he was married.

I always thought he look smarmy.

[@shellysomerville5766]

He was always nasty to Female cohosts on the morning show

[@Asr203.]

He probably uses that button under his desk for more than one thing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[@viperslate]

When he interviewed people he crossed his legs with his leg extending way into the other person's space.

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

He would probably make a great Gilbert Osmond, from the Portrait of a Lady, if he were an actor. He does seem to have that kind of persona and psychology. It seems like he was not aware of the impact of his statements and behavior until it was too late. In his mind, he probably thought himself immune to any consequences because of his gradual rise, no realizing that it was as fickle as it was gradual, especially considering American mentality in this age..

[@coldcoffeebear7459]

Grabblers feel entitled. Name ONE that doesn't ACT entitled. Many different kinds of people are grabblers.

[@mwhitehall889]

NBC had him thinking he was above the law and everything else. Hey, even birds have to fly down for a drink of water.

[@karaa7595]

I was surprised but I hadn't watched him since he first came out and everyone loved him.

[@captbosco]

You have a natural like and trust of Ann Curry and an equal distrust and aversion to Lauer.

[@luisr4986]

Just finished watching Apple TV’s Morning Show. I had look this creep up after watching the show.

[@edreid7872]

So clear what head he was thinking with...

[@johnvanegmond1812]

Yup, self mastery is so important. Also, when a man masters his sex drive, no woman can control him. How many married guys do you know who put up with childish behavior just on the chance they can have sex that borders on necrophilia?

[@Bill-uo6cm]

Consensual sexual relations between rich, powerful, ambitious CONSENTING adults, what a shock!!!

[@Lolabelle59]

For years before this came out, he emotionally and psychologically tortured his ex-wife, blatantly cheating on her, driving her to bulimia, and ridiculing her for her illness. Karma.

[@leekimberlin623]

I'm still shocked, I'm thinking some one had something against NBC.

[@teamcougars]

Never did like him!

[@MicheleMJJ]

I always thought he was arrogant and narcissistic. There was something about him that reminded me of a man who would abuse a woman. I am glad he was fired.

[@michaelpence68]

He made Sandra bullock uncomfortable about her being naked in a movie in a interview she said on live tv

Where in the world is Matt Lauer?

Wow this guy was smashing all the attractive women on the show 🤦🏿‍♂️😭😭 I really grew up watching this dude. Seems to me he damaged a lot of women's careers and mental stability, this is so nuts ... I always wondered what happened to him and then I watched (The Morning Show) on Apple TV. It literally reminded me of Matt Lauer and Katie Couric ... It all makes sense now.

[@bostonblackie9503]

I remember they were doing a segment in the show about what, I believe, would make the presenters happy. Anne Curry for Matt had his wife show up with a Teddy Bear, she looked none too happy, and mumbled when talking to him.

Why does the media have to continue tearing at him and his family? They have suffered enough! He has kids, and a family, people! Most folks have a PAST! He wasn't a pervert or pedophile that deserves destruction! Let the man turn his life around and do better, he's paid his dues!

[@PWscreens]

Janine Burke Ratings and entertainment. Do you know there are 100000 rapes in America each year. Nothing reported you don’t know their names or victims.

[@kenmills4739]

Janine Burke I agree with you beyond 💯%: Jesus Christ saw the woman who was involved in adultery for what she was and told her to go and sin no more, but the so-called religious folk wanted Him to allow themselves the right to stone her, and so he says in John 8:7 "Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone". . .we ALL make bad choices, this is where the seeds of pride and ego are planted: we're looking at a noted personality who's pulled in various directions. . .my opinion is that Matt Lauer shouldn't have gotten married pronto, the same with Anthony Weiner, and so many other men; only Jesus Christ [via The Holy Spirit] can change a person inside to outside-the trouble with all of us in society is that we're more than quick to condamning (note intentional misspelling) when someone is 'out of step' with traditions, legalism, religion, politricks, or just sh'eople in general (including the media): everybody's crying wolf these days just for financial gain and accolades, therefore self-control is in the toilet, no one minds their business, no one works with their own hands, and living the quiet life is held hostage; you can't even say 'Hello' and/or tap someone on the shoulder without hearing about a lawsuit with lies from out of the pits of hell, but fortunately somewhere the truth always manages to come up for air to be known because there ARE two sides to every story (Proverbs 18:17), and yet there IS a third side: HIS (God's) side. . .think of Luke 19:1-10; despite Matt Lauer's persona, as a person I have no problem with him of 36 years, and I'm not going to judge him either despite what goes on behind closed doors (Proverbs 26:17), yes we'll go through the motions consciously when caught and come to the ends of ourselves (Proverbs 20:27), let's agree that he's still deep on the inside asking for help and prayers.
