For years I thought "harass" was two words. 
He's not hurting, and won't be hurting in the future.
He will take a little class and be back on the air within 6 months with a fake tearful apology like they all do.
Today show host Matt Lauer was fired by NBC on November 29 after a detailed complaint alleged he engaged in "inappropriate sexual behavior" while covering the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. (A potential pattern has since emerged: Varietypublished a story with allegations of Lauer's sexual harassment from multiple women on Wednesday afternoon .)
Named co-anchor of Today in 1997, Lauer has commanded a salary that's been estimated at $28 million, making him one of the highest-paid figures in the entertainment industry, and certainly in the news business. His contract was reported to end in 2018. And two prominent employment lawyers say they expect that for a period of time the network will continue to pay some, if not all, of that salary.
"My instinct, and based on my experience as an employment lawyer for over 35 years, is that there will be a payout," says Samuel Estreicher, an NYU law professor and director of the Center for Labor and Employment Law at the university. "I would be surprised that a guy who’s created this much value for NBC has not worked out or negotiated an arrangement with NBC."
Brian Heller, a partner at Schwartz, Perry, & Heller, says that while there is "no general right for anybody to receive a severance package in New York," it's likely that Lauer and fellow news anchor Charlie Rose, who was fired last week by CBS News and PBS following sexual harassment allegations, will receive a payment.
"I would imagine that if the companies want these two individuals to remain quiet, they’ll probably purchase their silence just like so many other women’s silence has been purchased," Heller says.
Vanity Magazine has been doing an investigation for months. According to Vanity, he had a private office in a back room with a remote lock under the desk for the door to add privacy to "private meetings"
Just found this list, if you need a score card to keep them all straight; all 61 and counting....

My wife said, “When they start looking back, they will figure out that men have been acting like this since the beginning of time.”

Another one for da fire....
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, used taxpayer dollars to settle a sexual harassment dispute brought by his former spokeswoman in 2014, Politico reported Friday.
The revelations make him the only known sitting member of Congress to use an Office of Compliance account to settle a sexual harassment dispute, according to the news outlet. That Farenthold settled with a former staffer for an undisclosed amount has been previously reported.
But on Friday, House Administration Committee Chairman Gregg Harper, R-Miss., told GOP lawmakers in a private meeting that only one House office in the past five years had used the account to settle a sexual harassment complaint, sources told Politico. The settlement reportedly totaled $84,000.
Farenthold said he was legally prohibited from commenting on the matter.

Hmm, thought this guy and others got money from the same place?

The Congressional Office of Compliance secretly paid close to $100,000 in taxpayer funds to settle sexual harassment claims from at least two young male staffers who worked for disgraced former Congressman Eric Massa, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the matter told ABC News.
This guy used taxpayer money too.
BuzzFeed reported that Democratic representative John Conyers, the longest-serving member of Congress, settled a 2015 complaint from a former staffer who said she was fired after refusing his sexual advances. To make matters worse, the payout was the result of a secretive bureaucratic process Congress uses to handle harassment claims, and the money came out of Conyers’s taxpayer funded office budget.
