In 2017, former NBC employee Brooke Nevils came forward with a complaint against Matt Lauer, but the specifics of the allegation were kept private, until now

It also reveals new details about the rape allegation that ended Matt Lauer’s career at NBC, according to Variety.
In the book, through interviews with Farrow, Nevils claims that Lauer anally raped her in a hotel room while at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. She describes going out for drinks with another co-worker, running into Lauer, and going to his hotel room twice , and being “too drunk to consent.” Farrow writes that Nevils had “no reason to suspect Lauer would be anything but friendly based on prior experience.
Back in New York, Nevils and Lauer continued to have a sexual relationship. When it ended, Nevils told “like a million people” about the relationship, including her bosses and co-workers at NBC. Nothing happened, Nevils says, until the Me Too movement set off bells for her colleagues. Even after Lauer was fired, tensions in the office and allegiances to the anchor made her life “torture.” Eventually, she was placed on medical leave and paid “seven figures” by the company, according to Farrow.
