Why Brooke Nevils, Matt Lauer’s unique accuser, says ‘Me Too’ fell brief

Brooke Nevils, a former NBC producer, says she felt like there was a "target on her back" when she got here ahead together with her allegations of sexual assault towards Matt Lauer in 2017. In her report, she alleged that Lauer, then "Today Show" co-anchor, sexually assaulted her in 2014 on the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Lauer has by no means been charged with legal wrongdoing and maintains their relationship was a consensual one.

In her new ebook "Unspeakable Things," Nevils examines the broader problems with office harassment and the challenges of talking out towards a strong particular person via interviews with consultants and her private narrative. CNN reached out to Lauer for a response to the ebook and didn’t hear again.
