Katie Couric's Perspective on Matt Lauer's Allegations
Let’s talk about something that’s been on everyone’s mind for a while now. When the news about Matt Lauer's alleged sexual misconduct broke, it sent shockwaves through the media world. Many people, especially those who worked closely with Matt, were caught off guard, and Katie Couric was no exception. Katie, who co-anchored the NBC morning show with Matt for a decade, has had her fair share of questions about the scandal. But guess what? She’s reached her limit. “She’s really sick of being asked about Matt Lauer,” an insider told Us Weekly, adding that Katie feels “attacked” every time the topic comes up.
Now, let’s be honest here. When you’ve been asked the same questions over and over again, it can get exhausting. That’s exactly how Katie feels. Despite this, she still handles the situation with grace. “Katie answers when asked about Matt, even if she’s repeating herself,” another insider revealed to the news outlet. “She understands the interest and answers.” That’s a true testament to her professionalism and respect for the media, even in tough times.

Katie first spoke out about Matt’s firing in December 2017. In her first comment on his downfall, she told an Instagram user that the news was “incredibly upsetting.” That’s a pretty strong reaction, and it shows just how deeply this situation affected her.
Fast forward to May 1, 2018, and Katie admitted on The Wendy Williams Show that the whole situation is still “painful” to deal with. “It’s been a very painful time for a lot of people who worked with Matt, knew him, really care about him, and who never witnessed or experienced any of this behavior that is now being talked about,” she shared. She also mentioned that she doesn’t know the full extent of all the incidents and can only speak from her personal experience, where she was always treated respectfully and appropriately.
Will Matt Lauer Make a Comeback?
When asked if she thinks Matt will make a return to the small screen, Katie replied that it would be “challenging” and depends on “the path he chooses and how he handles what has happened.” That’s a pretty fair assessment, considering the gravity of the situation.
Back in April, Katie also admitted she’s still having trouble “separating truth from fiction” with this whole scandal. “I don’t think I have reconciled it, honestly, because it’s very upsetting and disappointing. I also really don’t know the details of these incidents still,” Katie told Buzzfeed. It’s clear that she’s still processing everything and trying to make sense of it all.
