马特·劳尔丑闻：令人震惊的新指控(1)

The Matt Lauer Scandal: shocking new allegations

Nearly two years after the Today anchor was fired for sexual misconduct, his once anonymous accuser goes public

Since Matt Lauer was fired from NBC in2017 amid shocking sexual-misconduct allegations, the disgraced Today star, 61, had all but disappeared from the public eye, living a quiet life in the Hamptons, New York City's wealthy beachy outpost.

But now explosive new details about the iconic morning-show host have emerged, and Lauer-once one of the highest-paid employees of the network-is again under fire.

In the new book Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators, journalist Ronan Farrow interviewed former NBC news employee Brooke Nevils, 35, who filed the sexual-misconduct complaint against Lauer that led to his termination.

At the time she remained anonymous, and the details of her accusations weren't made public. Now, however, she is telling her story in its entirety.

In Farrow's book Nevils alleges that Lauer anally raped her in his hotel room during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

She was working for former Today coanchor Meredith Vieira, who'd returned to do Olympics coverage, when they ran into Lauer at the hotel bar one night.

Nevils, who says she had six shots of vodka, said by the end of the evening, she was in Lauer's hotel room at his invitation.

It was then that, Nevils alleges, he kissed her, then pushed her onto the bed, turned her over and asked if she liked anal sex.
