WOW! Ann Curry ADMITS her and CBS hid Matt Lauer Sexual Abuse from the Public

In her first television interview since leaving NBC, former "Today" show host Ann Curry is speaking out about the firing of her former co-host Matt Lauer and the pervasive "verbal sexual" harassment during her time at NBC. Lauer was fired over "inappropriate sexual behavior" last November.



"I can say that I would be surprised if -- if -- many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment -- that existed. I think it'd be surprising if someone said that they didn't see that. So it was p -- a verbal -- sexual --," she said on "CBS This Morning" Wednesday.



"She just said that verbal sexual harassment was pervasive," "CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell said.



"Yeah," Curry replied.



"At -- at NBC at the time when you were there?" O'Donnell said.



"I don't wanna cause more pain. But no, I'm -- you are asking me a very direct question. I'm an honest person. I wanna tell you that it was. Yes. Period," Curry replied.



Curry, who's making a much-anticipated return to TV with her new PBS show, "We'll Meet Again," was with NBC's "Today" show for 15 years. She co-anchored alongside Lauer from 2011 to 2012 before a highly publicized break with the broadcast. Curry left NBC in 2015 and created her own production company.



Asked if Lauer had abused his power, Curry said, "You know, I -- I'm trying to do no harm in these conversations. I can tell you that I -- I am not surprised by the allegations."
