There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions, Lauer said in the statement released to the network. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry.
Lauer said that some of what he has been accused of is untrue and mischaracterized but said, there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed.

The married 59-year-old news star was one of the latest public figures to be embroiled in accusations of sexual misconduct that have recently struck down high-profile men in entertainment, politics and media.
Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and Im committed to beginning that effort, Lauer said in the statement. 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.

I'm sure he has all kinds of regret and embarrassment now that he lost his job and opportunity to attack more women. I hope at least one of these women can file criminal charges and he ends up in prison.

but I heard a phrase that was something like "bent her over the desk and" then my brain shut down.

(12,400 posts)9. I believe he is sincere
when he says what he has been accused of is untrue. Im sure he thought they were all wishing to be locked a room with him.
