Ойын-сауық
The former "Today" co-anchor told People magazine her departure from the morning show "hurt like hell" and said she feels "outraged" about allegations of sexual misconduct facing Matt Lauer.

I never watched another day of the Today Show after NBC treated her so terribly. She worked hard at the show and she deserved her co-host spot.

I met her several years ago, I was standing outside the today show. Unlike her former co anchors who walked passed us and ignored us, Ann Curry came over to where we standing, said hello and talked to us for a bit. And she gave me a part of her script. Very warm and classy woman💜
She was so good. Never could understand why she was fired. She has so much integrity

We dont really know all that happened. These big companies sometimes make it plain they dont want to know anything negative about their "stars". I always thought Ann Curry made the show and now those who are left will do anything to keep their jobs. These big companies pay huge salaries and then when they "have you" they can tell you what to do, to think, to say, to feel. You are theirs! Ann has my respect!

@@layton3503 she did report to the management team when a female co-worker painfully shared her sexual harassment by Lauer with her, but they didn't do anything about it. She's screwed by NBC, so was Ronan Farrow. True honest journalists like them have no place in NBC, because NBC constantly covered up scandals and silence the victims. I strongly recommend the book Catch and Kill. It's shocking how power imbalance is sabotaging the careers and lives of journalists or employees in the organization with integrity.
They are crazy for letting her go. She is a classy lady and good at reporting.

When I heard of the bullying and verbal abuse she suffered from co-workers, I stopped watching NBC altogether since they seemed to be okay with it. No repercussions for any employees for what they put her through. It got so bad she had to quit. I still don't watch NBC to this day because of it.

Me either. Also, I cannot STAND Savannah Guthrie. After she made such cruel comments about women who need to nurse their babies in public (keeping in mind that the vast majority of these women drape a blanket or do all they can to be discreet), I lost all respect for this stupid, entitled bitch. Must be nice to have multiple nannies and not need to ever resort to emergency nursing. She makes many millions of dollars per year for playing diva on TV for 2 hours, 5 days per week. I'm sure there are many working moms who wish they had that gig!

Sadly, I think it was because a lot of male viewers HATED her. As I noted in another comment, with all due respect to Ms. Curry, I would have myself replaced Meredith Viera with Erin Burnett (then with CNBC and she had several stints filling in for Ms. Viera), who IMO would have likely brought her CNBC audience with her. A lot of that audience was high income male viewers who are very difficult to reach by advertisers and quite coveted by such (Ms. Burnett left after being passed over for the timeslot).
I stopped watching today bc of what Today and Matt Lauer did to her.

Rumorady - Matt Lauer used to complain about a Curry to his bosses. I think she didn’t play along. With his flirty, inappropriate games, plus she was a fast rising star ⭐️ while Lauer was already a star, arrogant, conceited and going after woman! Matt was responsible for Anne being let go. I stopped watching that show when Curry was fired. and wouldn’t you know it he turned out to be a big pervert making 20 MIL a year. Congratulations Matt, you turned out as I had hoped. Sorry for Mrs. Lauer though.

The fact Ann was chosen instead of Matt as the sacrificial lamb says volumes about NBC management. They were one big pig sty with Matt in the middle.
I couldn't understand back then why they were letting her go.
Ann has NOTHING to apologize for. I can't begin to imagine the fury of injustice and abuse of power this creep displayed against him. Ann has too much class and integrity to seek revenge. She is a lovely, kind and compassionate human being. Matt Lauer has displayed to the world, WHO he is. Ann is even more beautiful than she was 5 years ago. She has her treasures stored in heaven

IKR. Matt still owes both Ann Curry and Britney for the way he humiliated both of them. However, in the end, they (Ann and Britney) are still thriving. Matt on the other hand, is flat broke and shunned by his friends (except Bryant Gumbel), LOL. P.S. Matt's former boss Jeff Zucker is also unemployed like Matt after getting his own karma by resigning from CNN. Karma to both Matt and Jeff, LMAO!
Beautiful and classy lady with integrity and honesty.

I always loved Ann Curry's voice she has a really good soothing voice and a voice of reason
Love Ann Curry. Always have. Never been a fan of Matt Lauer. Hope he changes his ways. Good for Ann Curray just keeps moving forward though she never should of been fired from the today show. Glad she's channelling that pain to help others instead of vengeance. Just wow.
Love her, and 61! Wow. Class.
I love her. She seems like such a nice person.
When Matt got out of line, Ann should of slap him telling him he had some nerve talking to her that way. If Matt reported her, she should of went to the tabloids & told them everything & cash in.
NBC fired her for Matt, they should hire her back with Matt's salary! Now that would be karma
When Matt Lauer was recently exposed and fired I immediately thought to myself: and he did Ann Curry wrong too! When does she get an apology? He’s a misogynist on top of his creepy smugness. How couldn’t everyone see right through him the way he was? I did.

Today show should be ashamed of themselves by not standing by her. She did the right thing. Truth always wins.
If she had truly been ground breaking and a supporter of women she would have broken the Lauer story and not, Ronan Farrow.
I only partially know why but seeing Juju Chang reporting on Ann Curry in these times three-years later really touched me....
She is so classy. Really admire Ann Curry.
I wish people would understand that sexual harassment happens to men as well. I am a gay man who was repeatedly harrassed by the Hispanic kitchen crew at a restaurant in Florida. At first I brushed it off and tried to joke with them and hoped it would dissipate but it became a daily event that made me increasingly uncomfortable. Eventually I had to report it, and can you believe it- it made them angry!!! They said it was just in fun and I must not have ever worked in restaurant before because this was regular horsing around activity in kitchens. I said maybe in Costa Rica but I have a waiter for 25+ years and have never experienced this anywhere else
Matt Lauer, never fan! Rude, crude and Lude! When Ann left, I heard Lauer had a hand in it. I knew a big cover up. Celebrate Ann! Karma Always Working!
Beautiful, classy, strong, smart, authentic. Looking forward to seeing what her next chapter brings!
I loved Anns reporting! She did a vood job! Watched hef for years! The news business can be cut throat!! She's got it going on!!
Beautiful and strong lady. I loved her. I don't even watch Today show anymore when she left.
I could tell she hated Matt years ago when the show was on. They moved her to a separate screen. It was obvious to me by they way they treated her
Just imagine that Ann has 7 Emmys in her home. Do you suppose they are all lined up on one shelf? That would look spectacular, wouldn't it?
This lady is a real class act.
Ann is my hero!!
“Unbound and unleashed”. Very powerful statement Ann Curry 🌹
ANN. BRING HER BACK
Curry is so classy and elegant. I think this may make her not the best cohost for today show because she doesn’t seem to be super entertaining, but I really like her as a person.
Thank you for speaking your truth you ARE not alone . This when I thought that he was not the image they were projecting at the public ! This is one classy lady ! ✌💪
Why no video , just audio??
Loved her to pieces on the Today Show. Yes, shame on NBC!
It is obviously true that Ann will talk about what happened on the show, after a employee has been out of a job for a x amount of years then things will be brought to light.
Curry is beautiful and elegant. What a beautiful voice she has.
Ann was great . I blame Matt . I Am not surprised she bounced back 👏🏻
Why don't these corporate employees talk openly about the Non-disclosure Agreements, if not details, at least the legality etc
Namaste! She's beautiful, very much class and refinement. I was shocked by NBC. As a result, I no longer watch that show!!!!
It was all Matt's doing that Ann had to leave NBC. Him rubbing her back as she gives her exit speech makes me want to vomit. Her too if you watch her body language. All the while, him knowing it's his fault and what he was doing to her. I hope he never gets another job. NBC paid him enough to live on the rest of his life.
I'm amazed she hasn't been hired by another network. I wish she would join Good Morning America
She is such a class act
SHAME ON NBC!!📢📢
Has anyone asked Ann directly, "Have you EVER signed a non disclosure agreement with NBC?' She seems to be "extra careful" about what she says and doesnt say.
We miss Ann Curry.
Well done Ann. Also Robin is so beautiful, healthy and strong. Love her!
A CLASS ACT!!! A CLASSY LADY!!!👏👏👏
Ann was always my favorite. Miss her and I have not watched since.
I loved Ann and I quit watching Today when she was gone. I didn’t know the back story but they should have been ashamed of themselves for letting her go.
Maybe Curry could be tapped for CNN cable news. She would be great with that. I hope we get to see Curry on a regular basis.
Every time Matt had an inappropriate situation on the Today show.. I would cringe and feel sickened and when Ann left the show I never watched it after that. My show is now good morning America and I should have never left in the first place. Can’t wait to see Ann Curry’s new show...
I stopped watching when they let her go. Haven’t watched since.
Thank you
Love her!!!
This was ten tears ago. Lok at the people who heard her say that sexual and verbal harassment was pervasive. She said it 10 years ago and nobody did anything then. Nobody.
LOL...the expression on that lady's face at the end.
Highly professional, NBC should bring her back
We certainly, miss you Ann Curry!
Beautiful classy lady you are amazing! 🌹🌷🌺

I saw Ann Curry's final show on Today and had no idea what the circumstances were underneath.
I was a lifelong Today watcher, and, I, too, no longer watch due to what NBC did to Ann. Ann was not the problem. Matt was the problem but you did nothing. I am moving on...
She sounds like she is acting. There is way more of this than what they're saying.
Back then, they should have gotten rid of Matt, and found someone new to put with Ann...if the ratings HAD gone down during that time, it was not her fault.
And another one gone, and another one gone, *another one* *_bites the dust._*
You did good work but in addition to the sexual harrassment, I could see the jealousy the other women on the show held towards you. Glad you landed on your feet and are doing well.
This was so hard to watch 😢
Why doesn’t ABC hire Ann Curry I see greatness if they did Ann Curry is a great journalist and I’ve missed her so much please hire her
She is one of a handful of Asian American anchors/ journalist featured prominently. Representation matters!!! The bottom line is she was ousted in favor of a White male. It was a huge loss. So, many women look-up to her. I'm glad she's vindicated in the end.
she didnt mention Matt ... am I missing something .. She didnt say Matt got her fired ...
I like Ann curry a lot I can’t count how many time I passed to watch Today because Ann was no longer there!
