Mediaite

Responding to Rivera's defense of "great guy" Matt Lauer, his employer said in a statement: “Geraldo's tweets do not reflect the views of Fox News or its management. We were troubled by his comments and are addressing them with him.” Shortly afterward, Rivera himself tweeted: "Reaction to my tweets today on #sexharassment makes clear I didn't sufficiently explain that this is a horrendous problem long hidden-Harassers are deviants who deserve what is coming to them-Often victims are too frightened to come forward in a timely fashion-I humbly apologize."
