By Jennifer Smith, 29 November 2017 |
- Kelly made the admission on Wednesday during an interview at a media event - She said she had no 'official knowledge' of Lauer's alleged misconduct but knew 'people were sniffing around the issue' - Kelly said she hoped the rumors weren't true and would not have been surprised if they weren't - She is now NBC's highest paid host with an annual salary of $18million [oh my!!!! TM] - Earlier, she described Lauer's firing as a 'sign of progress' on her morning show - Lauer, 59, was fired on Wednesday morning after NBC executives received a 'detailed' complaint from an unnamed colleague on Monday - The woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by him as they worked together on the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics - Bosses have revealed that they do not believe the alleged misconduct was an 'isolated incident' - Lauer has not responded to the claims but the scandal dominated the network's morning coverage
Megyn Kelly has admitted hearing 'rumors' about Matt Lauer's alleged sexual misconduct before he was fired on Tuesday but said she hoped they 'weren't true'. The NBC host was speaking at Business Insider's IGNITION media event when she made the revelation on Wednesday, hours after addressing Lauer's shock firing on her own morning show. She denied having any 'official knowledge' of Lauer's alleged wrongdoing but said she knew reporters were 'sniffing' around 'the issue'. In her comments about Lauer, she also boasted about knowing ahead of time that CBS veteran journalist Charlie Rose was due to be exposed for alleged misconduct too. 'I didn't have any official knowledge but because of the work I do and the stories I cover and the connections I have in the industry, I have a general feel for - I knew the Charlie Rose thing was coming - and I'd heard rumors about Matt but that's all they were. 'My feeling on it was a rumour is not the same as reportable fact. I knew people were sniffing around the issue and, you know, hoped it wasn't true,' she said. Lauer, 59, was fired on Tuesday night as a result of his alleged sexual assault of a colleague while they were working on the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
