Former 'Today' Show Anchor Ann Curry 'Not Surprised' By Matt Lauer Allegations During an appearance on CBS This Morning, Curry was asked about her former co-anchor. I can tell you that I’m not surprised by the allegations. I would be surprised if many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment that existed. I think it would be surprising if someone said they didn’t see that. Curry was fired from the Today show back in 2012, with many rumoring Lauer played a role in her departure.
