Report: Matt Lauer’s Lawyers Trying to Secure $30M Payout for Fired Anchor

Matt Lauer’s lawyers are trying to secure a $30 million payout for the disgraced former TODAY Show anchor, which would amount to payment in full for remaining year and a half on his contract, according to Page Six. “They are currently looking at his contract and determining whether the claims against him, which clearly would affect any moral clause in his contract and his ensuing termination would cut off his contractual rights to be paid through to the end of his contract,” a source told Page Six. NBC fired Lauer earlier this week after a woman came forward alleging sexual misconduct, prompting more accusers to come forward.
