Ronan Farrow book claims Matt Lauer raped ex-NBC staffer in Sochi hotel room: report
NY Post ^ | October 9, 2019 | Ben Feuerherd

Former NBC News employee Brooke Nevils claims in a new book that Matt Lauer raped her in a hotel room in 2014, a report said Wednesday.

The journalist discloses the sexual assault allegation in Ronan Farrow’s “Catch and Kill,” which describes how the former “Today” show host allegedly anally raped her in the hotel room during the network’s coverage of the Sochi Olympics, according to Variety.

Nevils said she was in Sochi to work with “Today” co-anchor Meredith Vieira when the attack occurred, according to Variety, who obtained a copy of the book.

She allegedly ran into Lauer during a boozy night at their hotel bar and went back to his hotel room after he invited her.

Yeah! After the check bounced, it was rape.

“Help me with this. She kept going back to him and said the relationship was “Transactional”. Can someone please tell me what that means?”

It’s a deeply troubling question with a more than difficult answer among several possibilities. None of them are pretty.

Well now, who is responsible for that state of affairs? Hmm, let me see... Oh yes, it’s people like Matt Lauer and organizations like NBC.

Let them lie in their own bed. Don’t give them a helping hand.

These are some confused women

She’s damn sure low morals

Claims rape and goes back time and again for more “rape” only this time for money or some ends

Sounds whorish to me and unlike some here I rarely use that word

The thing that surprised me the most about the MeToo movement was/is the continued existence of the casting couch , both voluntary and involuntary. Apparently enough women and men want a chance at a Hollywood or media career that they will still put up with this behavior. I hope the abusers are learning that when the folks they abuse age out of the big time career, all bets are off, and the million dollar payoff then becomes the goal.

“It was completely transactional. It was not a relationship,” she told Farrow, according to the report.

In other words she was a prostitute. She offered herself in exchange for some sort of payment. It's very difficult for a prostitute to prove rape.

ugh. I agree with you completely! If someone had raped me or even tried to molest me, I’d never be alone with him again. It does not make sense!

It was, by her own admission, a "transactional relationship", meaning she was having sex with him in the expectation that he would do something for her in return, presumably help her get a promotion or better assignments.

When he failed to deliver what she expected, then she retroactively deemed it "rape".

I see FReepers are throwing their enemies a lifeline. A woman trashes NBC News and Matt Lauer and you idiots trash the woman. Happens over and over.

It's called staying consistent. That said, I will sit back and be amused by the whole conflict.

Nope, sorry, lady, not buying it.

This isn’t rape. This is you being a slut.

I don’t approve of her behavior but Dirtbag Lauer is getting what he deserves, too.

I'm going to guess she had the delusion that she was pretty enough to be one of the "in front of the camera, eye-candy" women. He then strung her along, then dumped her. She got upset.

It means she was a whore who slept her way up the chain, just like perky Katie Couric.

I don’t think anyone is defending Matt Lauer.

He’s a pig.

She just happens to be the kind of girl who sleeps around to get favors from pigs.

She is pretty, in a Mr.Ed type of way.
