NBC host Megyn Kelly on Thursday invited Matt Lauer and his accusers onto her show, stating she remains "committed to telling people's stories if they choose to come forward."
The invitation comes one day after the 59-year-old Lauer was ousted from NBC amid sexual harassment allegations.
“As hard as it is to report on one of our own colleagues, we remain committed to telling people’s stories if they choose to come forward,” said the "Megyn Kelly Today" host, according to Entertainment Weekly. “The women in this case, too — the Matt Lauer case — are invited and welcome to do exactly that on this show."
Kelly departed from Fox News in January despite being offered a reported $100 million to stay, citing a desire to be home with her husband and young children during evening hours.
The 47-year-old former attorney was reportedly crucial to an internal investigation into sexual harassment claims against Fox’s late former chairman and CEO, Roger Ailes.
The Hill reports...with Lauer gone, Kelly becomes the highest paid employee in broadcast news along with ABC's Robin Roberts, with each at a reported $18 million a year, according to Variety.
