Matt Lauer was notably absent Thursday from footage of NBC’s 25th anniversary of the Today Show.
Lauer was taken off of the show after sexual misconduct allegations in 2017. He was removed from all video for the celebration, according to footage of the event. “Today” hosts Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie, Carson Daly, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush were included in the celebratory video.
Lauer worked on the show for almost 25 years before being fired. His sexual misconduct allegations included lewd comments, exposing his genitalia to co-workers, sexual assault among other inappropriate acts.
The celebration included looking back on concerts, on-air marriage proposals and other events that happened on the show over the past 25 years.
Lauer spoke out about the allegations after being fired from the “Today” show. He said that all of the allegations against him were false.
“I fully acknowledge that I acted inappropriately as a husband, father and principal at NBC,” Lauer’s statement read according to the Washington Post. “However I want to make it perfectly clear that any allegations or reports of coercive, aggressive or abusive actions on my part, at any time, are absolutely false.”
According to the female staffer who accused him of the misconduct, she said the “innapropriate sexual behavior” began at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, .
Lauer and wife Annette Roque settled their divorce earlier in June, according to Page Six. Roque will reportedly get up to $20 million in assets plus their home in the Hamptons. The divorce still has to be finalized by a judge, Page Six reported.
