Oh, what a surprise! Former “Today” show host Matt Lauer has finally spoken out regarding his many, many allegations of sexual harassment… and he says HE is real the victim.
In his first interview since being fired from NBC over sexual misconduct allegations, Lauer claims that he has been going through some “difficult times” lately.
According to Lauer, people just “don’t know” the full “circumstances” of the allegations against him, and the trouble he has gone through since he was fired.
Cue the violins.
“I don’t think I’m being a conspiracy theorist here, or paranoid, but I believe the groups are in some ways, unfortunately, taking advantage of some difficult times I’ve been through over the past six months and I think they see me as an easy mark,” Lauer told Radio New Zealand from New York.
It seems as though crybaby Lauer is forgetting all of the woman coming forward alleging he took advantage of them. Weren’t they easy targets for him?
“I think most of the articles I’ve read… they make very frequent reference to that because they think, I believe… that New Zealanders are going to find some outrage there,” Lauer said of his firing. “And would tell people they don’t know the circumstances of that situation.”
But naturally, this so-called ‘victim’ is “not at liberty to talk, nor would I want to talk about that.”
If he was truly just a victim with nothing to hide, wouldn’t he be able to speak out? Something’s fishy, Lauer.
Last year, Lauer purchased a lease for the Hunter Valley Station in Queenstown, New Zealand for roughly $13 million.
The property controls the only way for public access to Hawea Conservation Park and Lauer is required to allow the public to cut through his property to gain access to the park.
Several claims have emerged suggesting that he had been denying access to the public.
“[There’s] misinformation that’s out there and it’s out there on purpose,” he complained.
Now, along with his lingering allegations of sexual misconduct, Lauer is also being investigated by New Zealand authorities who require foreign buyers of important assets to be of good character.
Clearly they did not do a good enough assessment last year when they allowed him to purchase the land.
