Brooke Nevils is a credible young woman of good character.
Nevils told Farrow:“It was nonconsensual in the sense
that I was too drunk to consent.
Nevils is the same woman whose complaint against Lauer led to his
firing, according to Variety.
Nevils explained that the attack happened after a night of drinking at a hotel bar.
Nevils then told Farrow,"It was nonconsensual in the sense
that I was too drunk to consent.
Nevils' identity and details about her allegations have not been previously known to the public.
Nevils said she told many people about her encounters with Lauer, including
colleagues and superiors at NBC.
Nevils told Farrow she“had no reason to suspect
Lauer would be anything but friendly based on prior experience.”.
Executives, including Andrew Lack, the chairman of NBC News who personally fired Lauer,
emphasized that the incident between Nevils and Lauer hadn't been“criminal” or an“assault.”.
