LOS ANGELES (AP) โ NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack says the company is launching an internal review into Matt Lauerโs alleged sexual misconduct and how it was able to occur.
In a company-wide memo released publicly Friday, Lack said thatโs among the questions employees are asking in the wake of Lauerโs firing as host of NBCโs โToday.โ
Lack said a NBC Universal legal and human resources team has begun what he called a โthorough and timely review.โ
He said the findings will be shared and acted on, no matter how painful.
Lackโs memo didnโt specify if the report will be made public. NBC publicists didnโt immediately respond to a request for comment.
Lauer, fired this week for โinappropriate sexual behavior,โ said he was ashamed by some of the allegations that he called truthful.
