In an Us Weekly interview, NBC host Megyn Kelly insinuated that she may know more about sexual-misconduct allegations against former Today show host Matt Lauer. When asked if she could see Lauer returning to the public eye, she said, “I know too much that others don’t know.” Lauer was fired by the network late last year after he was accused of sexual misconduct. After the allegations came to light, Kelly interviewed one of his accusers, former Today show production assistant Addie Zindone, on her show, and they discussed her relationship with Lauer when she was 24 years old. Kelly didn’t comment on whether she received backlash from NBC for interviewing Zindone, but said she felt “very strongly about the #MeToo coverage.” “I didn’t let anyone stop me at Fox, and I’m not going to let anyone stop me at NBC,” she said. She also said men who were in “immense positions of power” before being rocked by #MeToo scandals needed to learn from the reckoning. “I think these guys who want to completely skirt around it and just reappear and re-emerge in their old roles are kidding themselves,” she said. “Women are feeling too empowered to allow that. They don’t want to just see punishment, they want to see that you get it.”
