Uh, no it isn't.

This subject is not political... it is just about a TV personality. Why would it be closed?

He is a multi millionare... has enough money to take care of himself, his wife and children even if his wife leaves him and takes the kids... Everyone involved will be just fine. If he has been fooling around, best his wifey knows NOW rather than later.

Don't jump on me if I am wrong about this, but I think Natalie Morales and Matt had an affair that almost cost Matt his marriage about 6, 7, 8 years ago. I am unclear about the facts, so I should say ALLEGEDLY had an affair. His wife filed for divorce but they later reconciled and Natalie was sent away to do other chores for the station.

But I read rumors about him being a womanizer for many years, so I guess he is getting his just payback.

@Annabellethecat66 Bravo & well said!! I totally agree with with you. DH & I have gone out of our way to raise our now 25 year old son with the right values. As parents & citizens it’s our responsibility to impart out knowledge & wisdom to the next generation.
I’m proud that my son finds this behavior appalling!! He grew up being told about my experiences in the workplace. We always stressed the importance of respecting women.He volunteers in the legal help office of his law school. He handles complaints from women on campus as well as the local community.Working with an attorney they try to resolve the issues. He comes home with very interesting stories!!
Just as I was typing this response my DH called me into his home office.He’s working from home today & wanted me to read an email he just got from HR.DH is a manager.
The women who work for my husband wrote a joint letter to HR. They said that my husband was their champion & their friend!! They credited DH with creating a professional atmosphere that was comfortable for both the men & women that report to him. They went on to say that my husband should be in charge of retraining the men in the office!!

This is why the problem will is not likely to ever go away. Nice letter but your husband and all men in the workplace are supposed to be professional and they are supposed to do their jobs and treat all the co-workers with respect and dignitity. The men who behave properly shouldn't be praised for that. They don't deseve kudos and lovely letters for that. As for "retraining the men". That's either funny or incredibly sad; I'm leaning toward sad. It's a matter of character, you can't "re-train" character into someone. That's why all those seminars in the workplace don't work, that's why all the abuse in the workplace policies fall short. Men of integrity and good character don't need them. Men who don't have those tendancies don't care about them, they know how to get around them. As long as we continue to think this subject is easy, as long as we as a society fail to understand that the problem is systemic and that it's not just the men, women have to be part of the solution too and women have to learn how to avoid being victimized. Some of the methods are actually easy. I remember that when I first started working 35 years ago, men did not meet with women one-on-one alone in a closed door office. The door was always ajar and the secretary was outside at her desk. Sounds archaic but something like that protected the woman and also the man. No woman would ever think of going to man's hotel room to discus business, not for any reason. Yet, my daughter tells me that it's not at all uncommon now when employees are travelling. If those women really wanted to something; they should have written a letter documenting the actions of the men who aren't professional like your husband. Those men exist! But I think they chose not to do that.

Why would anyone feel sorry for Lauer's wife and children??? His wife didn't do anything wrong, she has nothing to be ashamed of and if he has history of inappropriateness in the workplace that rose to the level that required he be fired; she has right to know. His children are young and this issue is irrelevant to his being a parent. His wife is better off for knowing, she can make an informed choice about the marriage. But with his money, everyone involved will be just fine and dandy. Even the woman or women who lodged the complaints.

I am sure he was let go easily to replace him with a man with hair on his head. Everything is about image. He seemed quite arrogant to me and if he really did nothing then he will sue. Perhaps his wife will divorce him now?? It's about time everyone is cleaning house with these creeps praying on women in the workplace.
