"I'm trying not to hurt people," said Ann. "I know what it's like to be publicly humiliated, and I don't want to cause that kind of pain to somebody else. But I can say that I'd be surprised if many of the women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment that existed. It'd be surprising if somebody said they didn't see that."

The appearance was just part of Ann's last laugh on the disgraced Lauer — who's been ready to speak out ever since her contract with NBC ended in Dec. 2014. She had already spent months being neglected by the news network as a rarely-seen "special correspondent" after Lauer had gotten her pushed from her time on "Today" as news anchor and co-host.

"Ann has all the dirt on Matt, Katie Couric, Al Roker and former co-host Meredith Viera," an insider warned at the time. "She knows all about the behind-the-scenes fights and tantrums...Ann has had a ringside seat to what viewers don't know about Matt — particularly, the rumors he carried on affairs with Natalie Morales and Savannah Guthrie!"

Lauer, meanwhile, had reportedly complained to "Today" staffers that working with Ann had been "the worst experience of his professional life" — and the complained that the newswoman's weepy final turn on "Today" was "her ploy to try to ruin him." Sources also said that Lauer pushed NBC to get rid of Ann completely!

Before her deal expired in 2013, insiders said that Lauer was already "pushing for the network to lowball ann so badly that she has no choice but to leave." Curry reportedly knew that Lauer was still after her, too — with a "Today" staffer saying: "Matt bareLy even acknowledged Ann when the cameras weren't on them!"
