The woman whose sexual misconduct allegations against Matt Lauer led to his firing from NBC News is afraid her identity will be revealed, her attorney Ari Wilkenfeld said on the Today show on Friday, December 15. ?My client is terrified and she does live in constant fear that people are going to track her down and figure out who she is,? Wilkenfeld said. ?She doesn?t want to be known." The lawyer is worried that the network hasn?t done enough to protect his client?s identity. In response to Wilkenfeld?s comments, an NBC News spokesperson said ?the network has protected the employee?s anonymity all along and will continue to do so.? Lauer, 59, was fired by NBC News chairman Andrew Lack on November 28 after Wilkenfeld?s client, a fellow employee, claimed that the Today veteran engaged in inappropriate behavior in the workplace.
