Megyn mentioned not knowing what happened to Matt Lauer. She exclaimed out of surprise:
“This one does hit close to home, I too have known Matt for a long time, and he has been a friend, and kind and supportive to me in my transition to NBC News and I see the anguish on my colleague’s faces.”
She continued:
“What we don’t see is the pain on the faces of the women who found the courage to come forward. And it is a terrifying thing to do. We don’t see the career opportunities women lose because of sexual harassment or the intense stress it causes a woman dealing with it when she comes to work each day.”
This Thursday, she also invited Matt and accusers in her show, to know detailed info. But, she became late, as NBC fired Matt on sexual harassment allegations. And these incident gives a hint, whether Megyn will be the next person to replace Matt or not!
