As well, Lauer had apparently offered Roque $5 million to stay in the marriage after filing for divorce in 2006.
Annette briefly filed for divorce in 2006, claiming she suffered “cruel and inhumane” treatment from Lauer, who she said in legal documents was controlling and demonstrated “extreme anger and hostility.” She withdrew the divorce filing a month later.
Another well-placed source insisted that the reason Annette withdrew her divorce filing is that Lauer offered her a post-nuptial agreement at the time of the filing, offering her up to a rumored $5 million deal to remain in the marriage.
I can’t blame Roque for the way in which Lauer acted because no wife is truly her husband’s keeper. However, I’m not the kind of woman who would stay with a man if he cheated on me numerous times (even one time and I’m out the door). Regardless if we have children together, I just can’t look at someone the same after they tripped over their own ego and stuck their d*ck inside someone else. Not my kind of marriage, not my kind of life.
Twitter users had several feelings about Roque and Lauer’s marriage saying:
Nobody should feel bad for Matt Lauer at all. His co-anchors are "heartbroken" over their "dear dear friend?" That guy was scum. Ppl should feel bad for his wife, Annette Roque. That woman has probably stuck with him after numerous "incidents" You know this isn't the FIRST!!

FYI:
Roy Moore’s wife stuck with him through false allegations and went on tv in his defense.
Matt Lauer’s wife left the country.
Roy Moore is about to win a Senate seat.
Matt Lauer got fired.

Matt Lauer has been having an affair for the past 10 years. My friend lives in his building. Lauer and his wife have lived apart for at least 6-7 years. Wife lives in the Hamptons while Lauer lives in NYC.

Matt Lauer’s ex wife accused him of “cruel and inhumane behavior” in 2006.
No one in the media listened
Let that sink in

MSNBC making excuses and telling “feel good” stories about Matt Lauer. They’re acting so surprised-crazy, because everyone knew he cheated on his wife a lot. #ByeMatt

Matt Lauer’s wife saying that she has “come to accept her husband can’t keep his hands to himself” and deciding to stay with him and “learn to live with it” is the epitome of having no self worth or self respect

Is it weird that folks feel sorry for and hearts are breaking for Matt Lauer & his accusers, but not his wife? Wasn’t homeboy married? What about her? What about his kids? Ugh! My mama always said “what’s done in the dark, will ALWAYScome to light.” #speakup
