In a statement, NBC News said it received a ‘detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace’.
The shocking announcement was made by Matt’s Today Show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, who said that it was a ‘sad morning at NBC’.

Reading a statement sent to staff from chairman of NBC News Andy Lack, Savannah said: ‘Dear colleagues, on Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer.
‘It represented after serious review a clear violation of our company’s standards. As a result, we’ve decided to terminate his employment.
‘While it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over twenty years he’s been at NBC News, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.’

The statement went on: ‘Our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone feels safe and protected, and to ensure that any actions that run counter to our core values are met with consequences, no matter who the offender.
‘We are deeply saddened by this turn of events, but we will face it together as a news organisation and do it in as transparent a manner as we can.’
