Obviously don’t know the details yet. Wasn’t particularly fond of Lauer. But at the current pace, all men are going to be fired for doing anything remotely resembling harassment.

"Huge Bag Of Sex Toys": At Least 8 Women Now Accuse Lauer Of Harassment.

And now, NBC’s top brass, which said they fired Lauer after an employee filed a complaint about inappropriate behavior that reportedly began during NBC’s coverage in Sochi (and who claim they were blissfully unaware of what was going on) are saying that the number of women accusing Lauer of harassment has risen to eight.

According to Fox, NBC’s Stephanie Gosk revealed to Megyn Kelly during the 9 am hour of “Today” that there could be up to eight accusers, as details surfaced about the star's alleged lewd behavior and old video clips back in circulation raised eyebrows.

One of the most disturbing stories about Lauer’s conduct emerged yesterday when a former NBC employee told the New York Times about a 2001 incident where Lauer called her into his office, asked her to unbutton her blouse, then bent her over his desk and violated her. During the middle of the act, she apparently passed out. He then had one of his assistants take her to a nurse.

In another cringeworthy moment, Meredith Vieira brought up a "huge bag of sex toys" she once found in Matt Lauer's office when Lauer and fellow Today host Savannah Guthrie were guests on Vieira’s talk show. To be sure, Matt was "quick on his feet", and blamed a sex therapist who had appeared on "Today", although his co-hosts don't seem to recall that particular encounter.

We expect more disturbing stories of Lauer’s workplace conduct will emerge in the near future.

Notice how two female co-anchors (Samantha Guthrie and Ann Curry) came on the Today Show right after Matt Lauer was fired and expressed how hurt they were about their good friend Matt Lauer turning out to be guilty of such. I suspect these two women were merely laying the groundwork so they could claim they were not aware of Matt's behavior all along. With all the new accusations coming out, it seems Matt's behavior was too widespread and often for the whole cast, crew, and management not to be aware of it. Interesting to see if Samantha Guthrie, Ann Curry, or the Today Show itself will lose popularity with viewers since they covered for Matt Lauer.
