Katie Couric Says She No Longer Speaks With Matt Lauer and Was ‘Shocked’ by Sexual Assault Allegations

during a business trip at the 2014 Sochi Olympics; Nevils’ complaint resulted in Lauer’s swift firing from the “Today” show.the rape allegation, saying it is “categorically false” and calling the encounter with Nevils an “extramarital affair.”

The leaked excerpts have also included scathing words by Couric about Diane Sawyer, Prince Harry, Martha Stewart, Deborah Norville and Ashleigh Banfield — both of whom havewith Norville saying she was “stunned” by Couric’s words and too “hurt” to comment, while Banfield has questioned whether Couric was so competitive that she intentionally hurt her career trajectory as a young female journalist.

Couric says she never knew about Lauer’s inappropriate interactions with women in the workplace, telling People that she knew he was a “player,” but they never shared private details about their personal lives with one another. “I think we have all these euphemisms that we used to use for bad behavior — and player was one of them,” Couric says. “He was a flirt. Certainly I read that he was unhappy in his marriage. But, honestly, I never had that discussion with him.

“Our offices were next to each other, and so I think when he engaged in this kind of behavior, he was extraordinarily secretive about it,” Couric continues. “I [had] heard a few pieces of gossip, that he was involved with an anchor, and I remember thinking, ‘Who knows if this is true?’ I think it was considered nobody’s business. At many news organizations in the ’90s and early 2000s, there was a lot of inappropriate fraternization.

Isn't that the lady who reportedly covered for that SCJ? One time thing I'm sure.

I knew him in the 1980's very nice guy especially at work and never thought he would even come close to doing any of this but money and power changes people.
