Matt Lauer, the former morning show host who was fired from NBC after allegations of sexual assault, wants to stage a comeback in the media industry.
Lauer, 66, is still deeply upset about how he was portrayed in the incident and perceives himself as a victim. While he spent most of his time on Long Island, Lauer wants to regain relevance in the media landscape. Lauer reportedly believes sufficient time has passed and deserves the opportunity to return to the media space.
Lauer’s fall from grace occurred in November 2017, when a female colleague accused him of inappropriate behavior amidst the larger #MeToo movement involving numerous high-profile men. Journalist Ronan Farrow further detailed the allegations in his book Catch and Kill, which Lauer vehemently denies.
Lauer’s public image has been severely tarnished, with headlines consistently labeling him “disgraced.” The situation has taken a toll on Lauer, making appearing publicly with his girlfriend difficult.
