NBC received at least two more complaints about Matt Lauer, hours after his firing. One woman said she was summoned to his office for sex.
A complaint from a former employee said Mr. Lauer had summoned her to his office in 2001 and then had sex with her. She provided her account to The New York Times but declined to let her name be used. She told the Times that she felt helpless because she didn’t wanted to lose her job, and that she didn’t report the encounter at the time because she felt ashamed.

What is with these men? When you have money and power some women will line up to have fun with you. Please leave the other ones alone. This one lost a 25 million dollar salary over stupid stuff, what a fool.
Power corrupts, absolutely power absolutely corrupts. Prior NBC honcho's knew about this...so did the current honcho's!
Reality can be ugly - get your popcorn and soda ready, this will be very ugly!
Where were all the women that were just as powerful? Why didn't they do anything to stop these pigs and protect the women who weren't in a position to fight back? Gail king, Nora O'Donnell had to know Charlie rose was a perverted bully. But yet silence. Then they acted surprised
If the women went along with it is he completely in the wrong ?
Here's another point of view:
Aggressive men rise to the top of their professions, and aggressive men have high levels of testosterone. That makes them have overly active sex drives. The heads of companies, congressmen, media heads, and the entertainment industries all have this "problem." It is an inherent problem. The same thing that makes them rise to the top, causes their sexual aggression. It is a psychological and endocrinology issue. The answer? Treat it like any other medical disorder. They can't fire every top male performer at every business and in congress, even if they try in this politically charged witch hunt and attack on male heads of organizations. Once the pendulum finishes swinging, and returns to the center, it will be recognized that the same thing that makes these men so successful, is also a flaw in their psyche, caused by an overactive hormone. Funny too, that many women are ATTRACTED to men in powerful positions. Once the media and political partisans finish exploiting this new observation of the connection between top male performers and their compulsion to follow their over-hyped sex drives, it will be viewed as the medical disorder and hormonal imbalance that it is. They aren't all perverts, and many of these women complainers were attracted to these men before it became a political and media fad to go after these men for their own fame and fortune.
We don't blame women when they act differently when they have their period, or when they are pregnant and have explosive and irrational outbursts due to hormonal changes. Just saying....
