Lauer’s potential tell-all could uncover untold betrayals, secrets, and personal insights.
A source further divulged: “He feels let down by many he thought were loyal friends. The moment he faced adversity, they abandoned him, which he believes is inexcusable.
“His motivation for revenge is strong, and if profiting from revealing secrets provides him additional gain, that’s a bonus,” the source added.
“He is convinced that no matter how tarnished his image has become, a significant audience is eager to know his version of events.
“If the industry is unwilling to provide him opportunities for redemption, he feels he’s justified in potentially damaging it with his revelations. Ultimately, he feels he has little to lose and much financial reward at stake.”
