After losing his job at NBC‘s Today show, Matt Lauer released an apology in a statement.
Lauer apologized for “inappropriate sexual behavior,” while also deflecting some of the allegations leveled against him.
“There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions,” Lauer said in a statement, read on air Thursday morning by his former co-host, Savannah Guthrie. “To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry.”
