Ronan Farrow says his new book, 'Catch and Kill,' refers to seven complaints against former NBC 'Today' show anchor Matt Lauer.
Patrick RyanNEW YORK — If Ronan Farrow is exhausted, he certainly doesn't show it.
Part-memoir, part-thriller,"Catch and Kill" details Farrow's months-long struggle to report the Weinstein story for NBC, where he started as host of MSNBC's"Ronan Farrow Daily" in 2014, before becoming an investigative correspondent for"Today." According to"Catch," Weinstein allegedly knew of multiple sexual misconduct accusations against former"Today" anchor Matt Lauer, obtained by Weinstein's friend Dylan Howard, chief content officer of National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc. . The book goes on to allege that Weinstein threatened to expose Lauer if NBC ran Farrow's investigation of him, which Oppenheim rejected Monday as a"third-hand rumor" with"no corroboration.
out of fear that she would jeopardize her career – as well as that of her boyfriend's brother, who worked for Lauer – if she didn't adhere to his wishes.Nevil admits to initiating some encounters with Lauer , but accuses him of other non-consensual acts in the workplace: In one incident, he allegedly groped her as she reached for an electronic photo frame on his office window ledge.
"This was a company where accusers with sexual harassment complaints were being paid out to sweep the problem under the rug," Ronan Farrow says of NBC's alleged cover-up.Farrow refuses to speculate whether Lauer could face legal repercussions for allegedly assaulting Nevils, but maintains that Nevils has"abided by a lot of scary legal restrictions that she is still under," including that she"cannot disparage the executives of NBC," as a term of her contract.
