It's been a while since we've heard from him!

Matt Lauer just broke his silence for the first time since he was fired from NBC five months ago over sexual misconduct allegations, and the disgraced TV anchor wants people to know that a lot of what has been written about him isn't exactly true.

"I have made no public comments on the many false stories from anonymous or biased sources that have been reported about me over these past several months. I remained silent in an attempt to protect my family from further embarrassment and to restore a small degree of the privacy they have lost,” Lauer, 60, said in a statement to The Washington Post.

"But defending my family now requires me to speak up. I fully acknowledge that I acted inappropriately as a husband, father and principal at NBC. However I want to make it perfectly clear that any allegations or reports of coercive, aggressive or abusive actions on my part, at any time, are absolutely false," he added.

This comes just one day after the same outlet reported that former co-anchor Ann Curry reported Lauer for sexual misconduct on behalf of two staffers in 2012.

The TV personality's personal life is in shambles after the scandal. He recently moved out of the Hamptons family home he shared with wife Annette Roque and their three children, and the couple have quietly started divorce proceedings.

We bet he wishes he had done things differently.
