Matt Lauer Isn’t Too Sleazy For New Zealand

Matt Lauer was fired from "Today" and kicked out of his home in the Hamptons — but a court in New Zealand has ruled that the disgraced "Today" host still has enough "good character" to own property in their country!

Lauer was at risk of losing the sheep and cattle farm that he had bought with his wife Annette Roque in Feb. 2017. That was before Lauer was hit with multiple accusations of sexual harassment during his years at NBC News. The claims sparked an investigation by New Zealand's Overseas Investment Office — since foreign investors in the country have to show they can "remain of good character."

As earlier covered by The National ENQUIRER, Lauer has a long history of alleged affairs taking place on the "Today" set, along with the shocking accusations made by former NBC staffers. But in a lucky break for the disgraced newsman, the OIO ruled there's "insufficient evidence at this time to take proceedings against Mr. Lauer for breach of the condition."

That leaves Lauer in possession of the property, but also adds to the assets waiting to be divvied up in the pending divorce. Lauer could still be saying goodbye to his New Zealand holdings — with Annette reportedly already set with a list of Lauer's illicit lovers from over the years!
