Brooke Nevils, who worked for former 'Today' co-anchor Meredith Vieira, said Matt Lauer raped her at the 2014 Winter Olympics. He still says it was consensual.
Journalist Ronan Farrow discusses “Catch and Kill” and #MeToo revelations on Oct. 22 with the L.A. Times Book Club.Nevils, who was interviewed by Farrow and agreed to reveal her identity, worked as an assistant toNevils told Farrow she was drinking heavily the night of the incident. She had gone to Lauer’s room twice — once to retrieve an Olympics press credential that he had taken as a joke and a second time at his invitation.
Nevils told Vieira about the Sochi incident in 2017. Vieira told her to report it to NBC’s human resources department with a lawyer. Lauer was terminated the day after Nevils and her attorney met with NBC. “The story Brooke tells is filled with false details intended only to create the impression that this was an abusive encounter,” Lauer wrote in the open letter. “Nothing could be further from the truth.” Nevils, he said, was “a fully enthusiastic and willing partner” that night and “seemed to know exactly what she wanted to do.”
In a memo obtained by the Los Angeles Times, NBC News Chairman Andy Lack said the payments to Nevils and the other woman were made after Lauer was fired and did not have non-disclosure agreements attached. “Farrow’s account has become neither more accurate, nor more respectful of the dedicated colleagues he worked with here at NBC News,” Lack wrote. “He uses a variety of tactics to paint a fundamentally untrue picture.”NBC News executives have maintained that they supported Farrow’s reporting on the Weinstein scandal but would not budge from their position that he needed a victim or witness to the mogul’s alleged behavior to be identified on camera for the story to air.
