Don’t jump to conclusions, Nazi: there are German-Americans with this name.
NBC Universal fired Senior Vice President for Booking, News & Entertainment Matt Zimmerman, following accusations of sexual misconduct, the company announced Tuesday.
“We have recently learned that Matt Zimmerman engaged in inappropriate conduct with more than one woman at NBCU, which violated company policy,” a company spokesperson told TheWrap. “As a result he has been dismissed.”
The network declined to comment on the number of accusers or the nature of their accusations; Zimmerman could not be reached for comment.
Zimmerman, who joined the company in 2004, began overseeing guest booking for the network’s “Today” show in 2012.
Zimmerman is the latest casualty in what has become a nearly daily torrent of accusations about powerful men in media and politics.
In addition to Zimmerman, NBC News was also forced to cut ties with contributor Mark Halperin after multiple women stepped forward to reveal past examples of sexual harassment while Halperin worked at ABC News. In addition to losing his regular perch on “Morning Joe,” Halperin was also dropped by his talent agency and saw most of his media/political empire implode.
The news also comes as NBC faces lingering questions about its decision to pass on running former MSNBC host Ronan Farrow’s original Harvey Weinstein bombshell despite having both on-the-record allegations and police audio of Weinstein making unwanted sexual advances and admitting to past instances of sexual assault.
It’s truly shocking that the same media outlets that pushed feminism down the throat of America are harassment zones.
No one could have predicted that.
