There's a good article out there somewhere (wish I could find the link again) that said the new "sexual misconduct" allegations were filed right after Matthews did the Warren interview where he asked some tough questions. The allegations were filed by a big Warren supporter.
True or not, we'll probably never know, and also we'll probably never know if they were really "offenses" in the first place. But curious timing in the filing.
This may be the article you are referring to:

Yes. Thank you!
"Conclusion: Saying crazy stuff doesn’t get you fired from MSNBC. It’s only saying stuff that annoys the Left that gets you fired from MSNBC. But that was what was important about Matthews — he’s an impeccably credentialed Democrat (Jimmy Carter speechwriter, aide to Tip O’Neill, guy who “felt this thrill going up my leg” when he heard Barack Obama speak) who doesn’t always stick to the party line.
It’s possible Matthews did worse things than we know about so far, but as of today, it looks like he’s been unfairly thrown into the same cultural ditch with actual predators like Harvey Weinstein. He has been forever smeared as a sex abuser when what really cost him his job was being rude to Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren."
