Certainly I read that he was unhappy in his marriage. “I think we have all these euphemisms that we used to use for bad behavior - and player was one of them,” Couric says. But now, Couric provides more context on what readers will find in her book.Ĭouric says she never knew about Lauer’s inappropriate interactions with women in the workplace, telling People that she knew he was a “player,” but they never shared private details about their personal lives with one another. The reported text exchange that was leaked in the Post between Couric and Lauer left many scratching their heads. “It just didn’t bring out my generous side.”)
(Speaking to People, Couric clarifies that while she was “protective of her position,” she did not block Banfield. The leaked excerpts have also included scathing words by Couric about Diane Sawyer, Prince Harry, Martha Stewart, Deborah Norville and Ashleigh Banfield - both of whom have spoken out against the book with Norville saying she was “stunned” by Couric’s words and too “hurt” to comment, while Banfield has questioned whether Couric was so competitive that she intentionally hurt her career trajectory as a young female journalist. One of the excerpts, published by the NY Post, says that Couric texted Lauer after he was fired to tell him that he is a “decent man” whom she felt “heartless to abandon.” Over the past couple of weeks, tabloid outlets have leaked excerpts from Couric’s memoir, “Going There,” which will be released on Oct. Lauer has repeatedly denied the rape allegation, saying it is “categorically false” and calling the encounter with Nevils an “extramarital affair.” After Variety‘s report, more women came forward with allegations, including former NBC News employee, Brooke Nevils, who accused Lauer of rape during a business trip at the 2014 Sochi Olympics Nevils’ complaint resulted in Lauer’s swift firing from the “Today” show. Variety broke the exclusive story through a two-month investigation that uncovered multiple accusations from numerous women who said they were victims of sexual harassment in the workplace. In late 2017, Lauer was fired from the “Today” show for inappropriate sexual behavior, after being with the morning show for over two decades and earning an annual $25 million salary.
