'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' (via toofab)

"I think it's hard for people to understand that we didn't share intimate parts of our lives with each other," she explained."I could count on one hand the times that I talked to him as I would a confidant or a really close friend."

"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," she added. And even though she considered him a"player," Couric said he never brought up the subject of his bad boy reputation."He was a flirt. Certainly I read that he was unhappy in his marriage. But, honestly, I never had that discussion with him," she added.

She went on to say it took her a very long time to come to terms with the claims against Lauer."Also, to appreciate the damage that was done to women who were taken advantage by many powerful men." Couric said she no longer speaks with Lauer and that she doesn't know if he can or will find redemption, adding,"It's really not for me to forgive him."The National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline -- 800.656.HOPE -- provides free, 24/7 support for those in need.
