Detailed complaint.
I hope it was more in line with credible evidence.

Slippery slope if all it takes is an accusation.

Matt Lauer, sexting! Boom your battleship has sunk.

I hired on in the 90s, but I heard oil & gas in a couple booms during the 70s and 80s were like that. By the time I hired on we had mandatory sexual harassment training and policies requiring investigation and punishment up to and including termination.

...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.”


What was so quick about this?

The Olympics in Sochi was nearly 4-years ago....it took NBC executives that long to figure out what to do or, four years for this intern to turn-over the evidence?

OT, but adding to the list:

CNN fires Teddy Davis, senior producer of @jaketapper's "State of the Union" program, over behavior "that does not align with the standards and values of CNN." Three women had complained about Davis.

I’ve read and re-read a couple of times several stories about Garrison Keillor. I’m missing something maybe.

The story mentions the incident where his hand touched bare skin on the back of a woman who was a friend, in the course of a hug. He apologized, received an acknowledgement back, no problem, and “they were friends until her lawyer called.”

That’s it? For this he is ruined?

How bad does it have to be if even CNN disapproves?

So he says.
But if that is, then things have definitely gotten skewed; even crimes are largely dependent upon intent. If that makes no difference in these allegations, then it's time to make some radical changes in our nonsexual interactions between men and females.

I dunno know, frankly, I never in my life thought of running my hand underneath a woman's shirt while hugging, to feel her bare back, as appropriate. Only for my wife.

To me, no different than Spacey running his hands below the pants of a male while hugging.

Matt Lauer has also been accused of sexting female staffers at NBC, allegedly sending lewd messages and revealing pictures to women including a young intern.

Sources tell Page Six that the reason he was fired so quickly by NBC News is that the messages, saved by an NBC employee whom he approached while they were in Sochi, Russia, for the 2014 Winter Olympics, “showed incontrovertible proof of inappropriate sexual behavior on his part.”

It is believed the first woman to come forward and complain about Lauer is a junior production worker who was at the 2014 Sochi Olympics as an intern, where she was first approached by Lauer.

NBC News President Andy Lack said in a meeting with staff Wednesday that Lauer’s involvement with the woman, who has not been named but is still an NBC employee, continued after they returned to New York.

A source told Page Six, “There’s at least one picture [sent to her by Matt] which was a major part of the evidence, which is why the firing came so quickly … my understanding was it was so damning that it was unquestionable whether or not he should be fired.

“I think everyone was a bit surprised how quickly this all turned around. No one expected his termination to happen that quickly. I believe the silver bullet was the photo and that was so damning that they had no other option but to fire him.

Plus, the girl had a high-power attorney and so everyone knew if NBC didn’t make a decision and push it out quick, they would have arranged for a sit-down interview with a competitor [and the messages could be made public]. Matt took the news well once he realized he was in a corner. He was very apologetic.”

It feels a lot like a lunch mob to me. Certainly an easy environment in which anyone can make unsubstantiated claims and ruin someone's life. Some of these are not legit. Whether attention seeking or payoff seeking, they just aren't. Happy to see Lauer go down, Karma's a real bitch, huh, Matt, but if it's BS, it's wrong, and no one seems interested in finding that out.

'I put my hand on a woman's bare back. I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches,' Keillor recalled in the statement.

I haven’t been to a lunch mob in years, but remember them fondly.

He issued that statement to get out in front of this. Later in the day he issued another statement that contradicted what he said earlier:

quote:
In a later statement to MPR News, Keillor wrote that he has to respect the privacy "of the two employees who made the allegations."

A spokeswoman for MPR's corporate arm didn't immediately respond to a message to clarify whether the accusation involved one person or two.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/g...f-improper-behavior/

MPR won't comment because lawyers, so who knows what really happened at this point.

Apparently the presses don't move very fast at NBC. They must have told her she had to bring back conclusive evidence that she was being sexually harassed. Young lady, we just can't believe Matt would whip his dick out on you in his office, he is the face of NBC.
