Ronan Farrow Book Alleges Matt Lauer Raped NBC News Colleague
Variety ^ | 10/8/19 | Kate Aurthur and Ramin Setoodeh

Posted on 10/09/2019 6:13:48 AM PDT by outpostinmass2

In Sochi, Nevils was tasked with working with former “Today” co-anchor Meredith Vieira, who’d been brought back to the show to do Olympics coverage. In her account, one night over drinks with Vieira at the hotel bar where the NBC News team was staying, they ran into Lauer, who joined them. At the end of the night, Nevils, who’d had six shots of vodka, ended up going to Lauer’s hotel room twice — once to retrieve her press credential, which Lauer had taken as a joke, and the second time because he invited her back. Nevils, Farrow writes, “had no reason to suspect Lauer would be anything but friendly based on prior experience.”

Once she was in his hotel room, Nevils alleges, Lauer — who was wearing a T-shirt and boxers — pushed her against the door and kissed her. He then pushed her onto the bed, “flipping her over, asking if she liked anal sex,” Farrow writes. “She said that she declined several times.”

According to Nevils, she “was in the midst of telling him she wasn’t interested again when he ‘just did it,’” Farrow writes. “Lauer, she said, didn’t use lubricant. The encounter was excruciatingly painful. ‘It hurt so bad. I remember thinking, Is this normal?’ She told me she stopped saying no, but wept silently into a pillow.” Lauer then asked her if she liked it. She tells him yes. She claims that “she bled for days,” Farrow writes.

Nevils tells Farrow: “It was nonconsensual in the sense that I was too drunk to consent,” she says. “It was nonconsensual in that I said, multiple times, that I didn’t want to have anal sex.”

Meredith Vieira had to know Matt Lauer was cheating on his wife let alone a rapist.
Money was more important to her so she kept silent.
His office door had a remote control lock.
I wonder how all the women at NBC who are on tv got to their position. Did they assume another position first?

BTW was his office sound proof?
No one heard or seen what was going on in his office year after year?

His wife looks like him so when he was fooling around with her he was fooling around with himself.

‘His office door had a remote control lock’

Yes. And that was ‘explained away’ by saying ‘oh, that had been there for a while before it became Lauer’s office’. SO??? It smacks of sexual abuse, but someone else put the lock remote in, so Lauer is not at fault for using it.

Despite the alleged rape, Nevils said she had more sexual encounters with Lauer when they returned to New York.

That appears to be the possibility of another side to the story:
Was she just the jilted lover who had been promised she would participate in the lucrative stream of Lauer’s salary after he ditched his current wife and married her?

NBC News is erasing all memory of Matt Lauer
https://pagesix.com/2017/12/01/nbc-news-is-erasing-all-memory-of-matt-lauer/
His former office — along with that button — has been demolished

He used that lock for other purposes then it was suppose to be used for. Others knew but nbc management / money kept them all silent.

Photo of her in todays nypost. The woman is ugly. Horsey face. As my spouse would say must have an uncle in the business. Attractiveness has nothing to do with assault. She got her money why bring this up now. This wasn’t a one time encounter.

She was intimidated. Don’t blame the victim of leftist degeneracy and violence.
