Matt's truly sorry, embarrassed, ashamed, soul searching, taking a hard look at his troubling flaws

[Miles Archer]

“There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions,” Lauer said in the statement released to the network. “To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry.”

Lauer said that some of what he has been accused of is untrue and mischaracterized but said, “there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed.”

The married 59-year-old news star was one of the latest public figures to be embroiled in accusations of sexual misconduct that have recently struck down high-profile men in entertainment, politics and media.

“Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and I’m committed to beginning that effort,” Lauer said in the statement. It is now my full time job. “The last two days have forced me to take a very hard look at my own troubling flaws.”

6. Now that he has been reported.

I'm sure he has all kinds of regret and embarrassment now that he lost his job and opportunity to attack more women. I hope at least one of these women can file criminal charges and he ends up in prison.

11. Since I posted that I read the whole story.

He had a fucking RAPE BUTTON INSTALLED IN HIS OFFICE.

9. I believe he is sincere

when he says what he has been accused of is untrue. I’m sure he thought they were all wishing to be locked a room with him.
