Lauer Sexted Intern, Other Women at NBC; Video Catches Disgraced Reporter in the Act
By Nicole Darrah. Matt Lauer, the former NBC News anchor who was fired for “inappropriate sexual behavior,” has been accused of sexting network employees — including an intern.
Lauer, according to a New York Post report Wednesday night, allegedly sent “lewd messages and revealing pictures” to women working at NBC.
One of those women, an intern, is believed to have been the staffer who brought the news anchor’s career with the company tumbling down after she approached executives about an incident that allegedly occurred with Lauer during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The intern allegedly provided a photo “which was a major part of the evidence which is why the firing came so quickly.” It “was so damning that they had no other option but to fire him,” a source told the Post. The photo, sources told the Post, “showed incontrovertible proof of inappropriate sexual behavior on his part.”
Lauer’s sexual misconduct, however, reportedly didn’t end with the Olympics. His involvement with the intern continued after they returned home from Russia, the Post reported. (Read more from “Matt Lauer Sexted Intern, Other Women at NBC; Video Catches Disgraced Reporter in the Act” HERE)

Matt Lauer Caught Telling Meredith Vieira to ‘Keep Bending Over Like That’ in 2006 Video Clip
By Nicole Darrah. In a video unearthed by TMZ on Wednesday, former NBC News star Matt Lauer is seen and heard on camera whispering inappropriate comments to his then-co-anchor Meredith Vieira.
“Keep bending over like that, it’s a nice view,” Lauer told Vieira on the set of “The Today Show,” reportedly in October 2006.
The comments from Lauer, according to TMZ, were made when the NBC morning show cut to commercial — however, a local affiliate kept the show live on air with the network’s in-studio camera feed.
Lauer’s co-anchor in the video was initially identified as Katie Couric.
TMZ had posted another video earlier on Wednesday in which Couric, during a 2012 appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live,” said Lauer “pinches me on the ass a lot.” (Read more from “Matt Lauer Caught Telling Meredith Vieira to ‘Keep Bending Over Like That’ in 2006 Video Clip” HERE)
