Former “Today” anchor Matt Lauer on Thursday released a statement acknowledging his wrongdoings with women over the years and apologized — but also said some of the charges against him were untrue.
“There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry,” he said in a statement read on the NBC morning show Thursday by his former colleague Savannah Guthrie. “As I am writing this, I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC.”
