Matt Lauer Update: What Former 'Today' Host Has Been Doing Following Sexual Assault Allegations

Since his 2017 firing from "Today" due to allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace, former anchor Matt Lauer has largely stayed out of the public eye. However, in the subsequent years, various reports about the one-time NBC star have surfaced and have offered a glimpse into what he has been doing since leaving the morning news show.

In 2019, Ronan Farrow released his book, "Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators." There, the journalist highlighted Lauer's previous interactions with various women, including accuser Brooke Nevils. Prior to its release, it was said that NBC had been bracing for the "bombshells" that were to be revealed.

After the book's release, Lauer penned an open letter where he claimed what happened with Nevils had been consensual. Following his denial, Nevils responded, calling his efforts a "case study in victim shaming." Later, it was also said that Lauer's accuser may have the opportunity to move forward with legal action due to a specific law.
