Matt Lauer Breaks His Silence After Being Fired By NBC For Alleged Sexual Misconduct

We can't imagine the fallout he's dealing with.
Matt Lauer has broken his silence and issued a statement following his firing from the Today show after alleged sexual misconduct, and former co-host Savannah Guthrie read it aloud on-air this morning.
"There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry. As I am writing this I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC," he began.
"Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly," he continued.
"Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and I’m committed to beginning that effort. It is now my full time job. The last two days have forced me to take a very hard look at my own troubling flaws. It’s been humbling. I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love. I thank them for their patience and grace," he concluded.
We have so many questions! Who will replace him? Will his wife Annette Roque leave him? What is he going to do next? How many more accusers will come forward? Guess we'll have to wait and see!
