NBC News and ‘Today’ Have No Plans to Invite Matt Lauer’s Accuser Brooke Nevils to Share Her Story
NBC News and Today are facing renewed criticism as Brooke Nevils — the former network staffer who accused since-fired anchor Matt Lauer of rape — promotes her explosive memoir.
Insiders tell Straight Shuter that as Nevils’ Unspeakable Things: Silence, Shame, and the Stories We Choose to Believe dominates media chatter, she won’t be invited to Studio 1A.
In the tell-all, Nevils revisits her allegation that Today honcho Lauer sexually assaulted her during the 2014 Sochi Olympics — an accusation he denies — and further details what she describes as the culture of silence inside NBC.
Now, insiders say Today executives have zero interest in booking her.
“They can spin it however they want, but many people inside NBC believe the network is still protecting Matt Lauer,” a source says. “If Brooke’s story involved anyone else, she would already be sitting on that couch.”
