Ann Curry: I’m Not Surprised by Matt Lauer Allegations

Declines to elaborate, saying “I know what it’s like to be publicly humiliated.”

Ann Curry appeared on CBS This Morning on Wednesday to address the sexual-misconduct allegations about her former co-worker Matt Lauer. “I can tell you that I am not surprised by the allegations,” said Curry. When asked to elaborate, she said she felt like she was “walking a line” in discussing the culture at NBC, adding, “I know what it’s like to be publicly humiliated, and I don’t want to cause that pain to somebody else.” Curry continued, “I can say that I would be surprised if many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment that existed... it was verbal sexual harassment.” Asked if it was pervasive, Curry replied: “It was. Yes. Period.”
