RONAN FARROW’s new book “Catch and Kill” comes out next week. It’s about his investigation of Harvey Weinstein and how his then-employer, NBC News, tried to put a stop to it. It also includes a pretty serious allegation about Matt Lauer. In the book, Farrow talks to Brooke Nevils, the former NBC employee whose complaint about Lauer got him FIRED in 2017. The exact nature of her complaint has never been revealed – until now: She says Lauer raped her in a hotel room during the 2014 Olympics. After this news dropped yesterday, NBC issued a statement saying, “Matt Lauer’s conduct was appalling, horrific and reprehensible, as we said at the time. That’s why he was fired within 24 hours of us first learning of the complaint. Our hearts break again for our colleague.” Lauer issued a statement saying Nevils is LYING. He claims that they not only had CONSENSUAL sex in that hotel room, but it was part of an ongoing affair. He also denied the infamous story about him having a button at his desk that locked his office door from the inside. In the book, Nevils admits that she did continue to have sex with Lauer. She says, “This is what I blame myself most for. It was completely transactional. It was not a relationship.” It was actually MEREDITH VIEIRA who encouraged Nevils to go to the higher-ups with her story in 2017. Matt’s former “Today” show co-host ANN CURRY Tweeted that she believes his accuser. And on the show yesterday, SAVANNAH GUTHRIE and HODA KOTB also gave Nevils their support. Matt’s ex-wife is refusing to comment.
