The Inappropriate On-Air Comment Matt Lauer Once Made To Sandra Bullock

Publish date: 2024-05-02

In 2009, Sandra Bullock went on "Today" to promote her film "The Proposal." But Matt Lauer didn't exactly give the actor a warm welcome. He inappropriately remarked, "The major thing that's changed since you were here last — I have now seen you naked." Bullock replied, "And I am so sorry about that. Were you able to sleep afterwards?" Lauer seemingly joked that it was now his screensaver and didn't let up with comments about Bullock's nudity for the rest of the conversation. Ultimately, he said, "Come back more often," to which Bullock half-jokingly responded, "No. Not after this interview."

Then, in 2017, Bullock commented on Lauer's sexual misconduct allegations. An insider told HollywoodLife, "Sandra feels horrible for the women Matt may have victimized. She has known Matt for years and she is shocked about the allegations." The insider also described Bullock's feelings toward Lauer and his victims, saying, "While she does not harbor any anger towards Matt on a personal level, her heart does go out to the women he may have harassed over the years." In addition, the source revealed how Bullock was addressing these issues on a wider scale, saying, "She is dedicated to being an advocate for the rights of not only the women hurt by Matt but for all women who have been taken advantage of in Hollywood and everywhere in the world."
