In an open letter (uploaded by the NY Post) Matt Lauer defends himself against rape charges made by former NBC staffer Brooke Nevils. Really, read this. I am throwing up. It’s insane that he wrote this and thinks it’s a defense. What kind of father does this and then admits to it, graphically? The mind reels. “She didn’t cry.” What? “We engaged in a variety of sexual acts.” And then he describes them. On Yom Kippur, of all days. Talk about a day of Atonement. I don’t think this letter is going to work, frankly.
