You Won’t Believe What Matt Lauer Is Saying About Chris Cuomo Right Now—Is He Kidding??
December 11, 2021 by Maria Pierides
Chris Cuomo has a serious ally in Matt Lauer right now, as insiders are suggesting that the 63-year-old former Today Show host knows exactly what the 51-year-old former CNN reporter is currently going through, since he found himself embroiled in his own sexual misconduct scandal back in 2017. Cuomo was indefinitely suspended from CNN on Tuesday, November 30th (and officially fired on Saturday, December 4th!) after he was found to have helped his brother Andrew Cuomo, who served as the 56th governor of New York from 2011 to August 2021, cover up the sexual harassment allegations that were made against him.
While Cuomo has lost some friends and colleagues because of his actions, he appears to have gained a friend in Lauer, who wasted no time in reaching out to him. “If anyone in the world knows what Chris is going through it is Matt Lauer. Matt has reached out to him because that is the sort of guy he is,” an insider told Radar Online. “To these guys, getting fired isn’t just about losing a job, it is about losing an identity.” The insider added: “Chris was CNN. He lived and breathed being a famous TV personality. Like Matt he loved being a respected journalist and all the perks, including financial, that come with the job. Now they have all gone. Can you imagine going to bed one night and waking up the next morning and the life that you loved has gone?”
