Matt Lauer’s wife has reportedly kicked him out of their home.
The 60-year-old TV star has been accused by multiple women of inappropriate sexual behaviour and now his model wife Annette Roque has decided to force him out of their luxurious home in the Hamptons, where they’ve raised their three children.
The former ‘Today’ anchor is currently staying at another nearby apartment because he wants to be near to his children, one of whom is currently at university, according to the New York Post newspaper.
Annette – who was known professionally as Jade Roque – has yet to officially file for divorce in light of the sex scandal surrounding her husband, but she’s expected to do so in the near future.
Lauer was fired from his lucrative job on the ‘Today’ show back in November, when it was alleged that he had sexually harassed an unnamed intern during the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, back in 2014.
Since then, a number of other women have come forward to make similar complaints.
Shortly after he was fired, Lauer released a statement in which he admitted to being sorry for his past mistakes, but he also insisted that some of the accusations were untrue.
He said: "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 realise the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC."
Subsequently, he said that some of what has been said about him is "untrue or mischaracterised, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed".
The statement continued: "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."
