Matt Lauer was fired from NBC News on Wednesday after an employee filed a complaint about "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace," the network announced. Later in the day, Variety published a story containing additional sexual harassment allegations against Lauer. Variety reporter Elizabeth Wagmeister said on Twitter that she had been pursuing "serious sexual harassment allegations against Lauer" for two months. Lauer is the latest high-profile man in media to be brought down by allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. Earlier this month, NBC News fired Matt Zimmerman, a top talent booker at the network who worked at "Today," over allegations of "inappropriate conduct."
