Romy Lauer attended the 2021 Hampton Classic Grand Prix in Bridgehampton, New York on September 5, 2021. Earlier in the day, she and her friends were seen partying at Kissaki Sushi in Water Mill in a TikTok video. Later, around 4 a.m. on July 5, a resident on North Sea Mecox Road called 911 after hearing a loud bang, concerned that someone was seriously hurt in a crash.

This incident occurred after Justin Timberlake lost his driving privileges in New York due to a DWI arrest in the Hamptons area in June. Meanwhile, Matt Lauer, 66, was fired from the *Today* show in 2017 because of multiple sexual abuse allegations. He has denied assaulting or forcing anyone into sex but has acknowledged having extramarital encounters.
