Disgraced "Today" Show host Matt Lauer is speaking out about the sexual misconduct allegations that led to his sudden firing on Wednesday. Savannah Guthrie read a statement by her former partner on the show this morning.
Lauer said that while some of what's being said about him is "untrue" or "mischaracterized," there's enough truth in what's being said to make him feel embarrassed and ashamed.
He apologized to those he's hurt and said he's been forced to take a very hard look at his own "troubling flaws," calling "repairing the damage" his full-time job.
