Matt Lauer’s Offensive Question to Adele

Adele sat down with Matt Lauer on Today Wednesday to chat before performing. Lauer made sure to ask her the same dumb question so many successful women are asked: Will you be able to handle having a job and being a mom?

Lauer said, “You told me [your son] Angelo is a key factor in how happy you are right now. You’ve had time to dedicate to him in between your two albums, since he was born. Do you get concerned that now with the explosion of this album you’re going to have to get on that career treadmill and have less time to dedicate to him?”

That line of questioning seems to always be something women with careers are asked, men not so much. Adele, answered gracefully. “No, my son comes everywhere with me,” she said. “We’re all good. We’re tight. He’s the first person I see in the morning, and the last person I see at night, and vice versa. So we’re all good. I make time for him like I always have.”
