Matt Lauer lost his job a couple months ago.
Along with it, he lost his dignity.
And now, according to a new report in The New York Post, he has lost his soulmate.
The aforementioned newspaper quotes an anonymous source who says Annette Roque has finally come to her senses and kicked Lauer out of the family home in The Hamptons.
The disgraced Today Show anchor has reportedly moved out of this estate and is now crashing someplace nearby.
(For the expensive record: He owns a $ 36 million compound in North Haven, a house in Sag Harbor and a 40-acre horse farm in Water Mill.)
Lauer, of course, was fired by NBC in late November after a woman accused him of sexual harassment.
Not long after this development, numerous other reports indicated that Lauer was basically a gross sexual predator at work.
There have been allegations against him of dropping his pants in front of employees; of gifting them with sex toys; and even of raping one of them in his office.
It’s horrible stuff all around.
The public has been wondering for several weeks now just why Roque is sticking around.
The only plausible explanation, which has been cited by many websites around the Internet, is that she and Lauer have been living separate lives for many years now anyway.
Lauer spends nearly every week night in New York City and only would make it out to The Hamptons on weekends.
Nevertheless, the more Roque has realized how much Lauer sucks, and the more chatter about previous affairs has emerged… the louder the divorce rumors have grown.
The Post claims Roque will soon file the necessary papers to rid herself of Lauer once and for all.
Sources have been saying of late that Lauer wants to save the marriage, but that Roque has been “very cold” to him.
Hmmm… we wonder why that would be.
Actually, no, sorry: we don’t wonder why that would be at all.
Shortly after Lauer was fired, he issued a lengthy mea culpa that didn’t deny he had acted like a disgusting pervert for decades.
Scroll down to read the statement in its entirety…
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.
As I am writing this I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC.
Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed.
I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly.
Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and I’m committed to beginning that effort. It is now my full time job.
The last two days have forced me to take a very hard look at my own troubling flaws. It’s been humbling. I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love.
I thank them for their patience and grace.
