BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Former “Today” show anchor Katie Couric admitted she felt betrayed by disgraced former co-host Matt Lauer over the allegations of sexual misconduct and assault that eventually led to his firing from NBC, according to the Associated Press.
“I know Matt thinks I betrayed him, and that makes me sad,” Couric writes in her new tell-all book. “But he betrayed me, too, by how he behaved behind closed doors at the show we both cared about so much. I had numerous conversations with him before everything we public. He assured me that his harassment of women would never exceed ten, and he would keep it in single digits. I repeatedly encouraged him to limit his victims, and I even told him that if he ever reached double digits, it would end our friendship. I was thinking about raising the number to twenty, but by then, NBC had fired him.”
