NBC's news chairman, Andy Lack, says the network moved swiftly to investigate Lauer, after a staff member came to the HR and Legal departments with "compelling, detailed evidence" that Lauer sexually assaulted her at the Rio Olympics in 2014. She was accompanied by her attorney, who praised NBC's quick action in firing Lauer.Other news agencies, including the New York Times, were already preparing stories about other sexual incidents involving Lauer, before he was let go at NBC. |

Well, evidently there are an explicit picture and text on the complainant's cell phone.And also it seems he's been known to be pushing the envelope for a long time. In a 2012 interview, Katie Couric is asked what's the most irritating thing Matt Lauer does, and she says he keeps pinching my ass. So if he got away with that kind of behavior with his colleagues for long enough, maybe he thought it was safer to go even further. |

There are plenty of cases where we obviously don't have enough information, but I'm not aware of a single one where it's become clear the employer overreacted.Having said that, Garrison Keillor looks like it might be one, but it's too early to tell. |

Keillor's version of his incident (he accidentally put his hand up her back, and apologized) would not justify his being fired. But then again, his version might not be quite correct either. |
