Katie Couric says she no longer has relationship with Matt Lauer

Katie Couric spoke about her memoir, "Going There," and what she made of allegations against former "Today" show co-anchor Matt Lauer during her appearance on "The View."

Journalist Katie Couric, who this week is releasing her new memoir, "Going There," confirmed she no longer has a relationship with former "Today" show colleague Matt Lauer in an appearance on "The View" Monday and discussed her reaction to the allegations made about the former TV host.

In November 2017, the disgraced "Today" show anchor was fired after NBC said a colleague accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. Lauer has said that he never assaulted anyone or forced anyone to have sex.

Out of Couric's 15 years on the morning news show, she spent nine years co-anchoring alongside Lauer. On Monday, she shared her view of the story on "The View."

She said that while "there were a lot of whispers about a lot of people" and that was "part of the ether," Couric added it wasn't in her "world" because she was caring for her first husband Jay Monahan -- who died of colon cancer in 1998 -- and two children.
