Matt Lauer, the once-popular co-host of NBC's 'Today,' is accused...

NEW YORK - Matt Lauer, the once-popular co-host of NBC’s “Today,” is accused in a new book by journalist Ronan Farrow of raping a female colleague at a hotel room during the 2014 Sochi Olympics, according to a report in Variety on Wednesday.

In Farrow’s book, “Catch and Kill,” the same former NBC employee who leveled the accusations that led to Lauer’s dismissal says he forced her to have anal sex after a night of drinking in the Russian city that hosted the 2014 Summer Games, Variety reported, citing the book. Variety later on Wednesday published a letter from Lauer provided by his lawyer denying the allegations described in Farrow’s book as well as other accusations of misconduct that have been leveled against him over the past two years.

Due process. This guy, even if he's a commie deep state putz, has the right to be default innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. We will HOLD onto our Constitution no matter what, even if the left does not.

She accuses Lauer of rape, yet she continued to have a relationship with him afterwards? Why didn’t she call the cops immediately or report it initially? Sounds a little fishy.

Go prez Go

Remember when NBCNews wrote an article about toxic masculinity at barstoolsports while conveniently ignoring the fact they covered up for a rapist & gave him a door that he could lock with a button on his desk. Wow Stoolie

Hey Matt could you have been more descriptive how a married man went down on a colleague?

Got a button that locks the room? He does! Got anyone listening besides Harvey Weinstein, he does! Got CNN GOT CNNPolitics HE DOES! Got sexual inuedo maddow does on batgirl! Some sort of sauce!

bzoet1 Gross

suggesting anyone getting violated today not to wait years before reporting it to the police

Been watching him in the late 90's . That's something terrible for the victim of course . Hope justice will be served in this case !

Journalists are degenerates

And he was arrogant enough to report each and every day about others who did the same or worse. Sleeping at night without a feeling of guilt.

Former NBC staffer accuses Matt Lauer of rape in Ronan Farrow's new bookA former NBC staffer says she was raped by disgraced 'Today' anchor Matt Lauer. Speaking publicly for the first time since his firing, she shares her disturbing account in a new book. Lauer hasn't responded, but his ex-colleagues discussed it on 'Today.' I most often take the alleged rape accusers side till facts come out. In this case though, she kept having willing sex with Lauer on numerous occasions after the fact? How do you explain this? Seems like a “piling on” now. This is CNN Interesting story but just can’t watch this ass clown deliver it. Better off reading about it.
