Matt Lauer — Disgraced ‘Today’ Star’s Miserable Life In Exile

Matt Lauer is living like a prisoner in his cushy Hamptons mansion, shunned by his former pals and “detested” by his humiliated wife, Annette Roque, mom of his three kids.

Fired from his $25-million-a-year "Today" anchor job for using his powerful position to sexually prey on young gal workers, the Matt “is holed up at home and hating it,” The National ENQUIRER learned from a tattletale. His marriage appears to be “in name only,” the snitch said.

Annette has booted the creep to separate quarters in the $18-million mansion which like Matt’s $7.35-million Manhattan hidey-hole, is up for sale. “They barely speak a word to each other and can go days without seeing each other,” said the source.

“He’s isolated from everyone he used to know," the source continued. "He feels bitter at how his friends have bailed on him.” The disgraced creep’s big hope is the scandal will blow over and he’ll get a new gig.

“Matt needs work to feel validated,” says the snitch. Ironically, one pal still on his side is self-confessed cheater Bryant Gumbel, who Matt replaced at 'Today.' “He’s my best buddy,” says Bryant. “I still love him.”
