Generational note.
Funny how so many apologists keep parroting on about “why didn’t these women say anything sooner?”, and apart from the fact that there are a million valid reasons that most victims don’t come forward at the time, there’s also the fact that actually a lot of them did and were utterly ignored because no one gave a shit…
Worse than a button that locks women in his office? That seems fairly damning.
It’s not like the knobdobber installed the fucking lock button himself. All these creeps are surrounded by enablers and the women have no one they can trust anywhere at their workplace. Maddening.
They needs to be a class-action lawsuit against NBC by the women who worked there during the entire time Lauer was employed. They knowingly harbored a predator, creating a hostile work environment for every woman who worked there.
All the fuckers who kept Lauer there need to get fired too.
“...where the women are strong, mainly from fighting off unwanted sexual advances.”
Lake Gropey-gone?
Oh god no not Rachel please. The more time passes, the more I realize her show is just as crazy and clickbait-y as the rightwing ones. She’s smart but unless she can get back to facts and no hype shit, I can’t watch her.
Where in the world is Matt Lauer just got interesting.
I wish all the idiots whining on Twitter were reading the stories. It seems clear that NBC has known Lauer was a skeezebag for years and was ignoring it. Now the tide has turned and it’s no longer good for their bottom line to keep him on so they’re dumping him. Be mad at NBC because they tacitly approved of this shit…
So NBC News spiking Ronan Farrow’s Weinstein story starts to make a lot more sense....
“Finally gotcha, Asshole.”
Friendly reminder, relationships between superiors and subordinates are presumptively coercive!
I would have to assume that NBC had plenty of evidence, even if it’s circumstantial, to make this move. Social media seems to be full of people deriding NBC and siding with Lauer because he’s “guilty before proven innocent”. It wouldn’t be a stretch for them to have known about rumblings and, given the current climate…
Matt Lauer’s firing was about as expected as Donald Trump’s incompetence. Figuring out who sexually harasses women isn’t very difficult to predict. Lauer consistently gave Trump and O’Reilly a pass on their shitty behavior while grilling HRC about emails and telling her to keep her answers brief.
Finally!
Does anyone buy, for even a minute, that Guthrie and the rest knew nothing about Lauer’s long-rumored issues? Please. Burn it all down. Starting with rapist trump.
