“Apparently the wheels of justice turn slowly,” says Linda Vester
Photo: Courtesy of Linda Vester Linda Vester was in her front yard with her kids when she got the news that Andy Lack was out at NBC. The afternoon had just turned to evening on May 4 in Bronxville, where Vester lives. One of the first people who called was another woman who had accused Tom Brokaw of harassment in 2018, part of a slew of accusations against men at the company.
Vester came forward to the Washington Post about Brokaw, who she claimed forcibly kissed her on two occasions in the 1990s, because NBC had still not hired an outside investigator at that time, almost half a year after Matt Lauer was fired from the Today show . Even though Lack is gone, that’s still the case, which is why she is reluctant to celebrate his downfall.
“I would really be speculating,” Vester demurs, when asked about what investigators may have learned in those conversations. But she said she has heard there were more men than just Lack named by those interviewed — as far as she knows, several who are still at the company. She claimed that testimony includes a mixture of “complaints, of harassment, of retaliation, of cover-ups, and, in other cases, gender discrimination.
