Lauer wrote in Tuesday's op-ed: 'I was shaken, but not surprised, that few in the media were willing to thoroughly challenge the accusations against me, or the person making them. In fact, on the morning I was falsely accused of rape, and before I could even issue a statement, some journalists were already calling my accuser "brave" and "courageous". Lauer was abruptly fired by NBC News for sexual misconduct in after Brooke Nevils, pictured, accused him of rape in a Sochi hotel room during the Olympics in On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer.
On Tuesday he said Farrow 'consistently failed to confirm stories', 'failed to provide evidence of important communications he alleges took place between accusers and me' and 'used misleading language to manipulate readers'. Lauer says Farrow also 'routinely presented stories in a way that would suit his activist goals'.
Answering claims he had a button under his desk to open and close his door, Lauer said Tuesday: 'Ronan writes that an unnamed female colleague had sex with me in my office after I pressed a button that remotely shut the door. At least he stayed away from the myth that I had a button that could lock someone in my office — a fact that NBC has publicly debunked.
Catch and Kill was thoroughly reported and fact-checked, including with Matt Lauer himself'. Farrow's book said Nevils met her boss for drinks one night and Lauer joined them.
Nevils said she had six shots of vodka and wound up going to Lauer's room. She said that Lauer pushed her onto a bed and asked if she liked anal sex. Nevils said she declined several times, but then Lauer 'just did it. In his open letter last year, Lauer admitted to his extramarital affair with Nevils. He said on that night in Sochi that they performed a variety of sexual acts but it was consensual.
She seemed to know exactly what she wanted to do. He claimed they had an affair that lasted after they returned to the United States. Nevils described the sex as 'transactional' and that she feared the effect Lauer could have on her career. In one case, she told Farrow that she had asked Lauer for help recording a goodbye video for a friend leaving NBC. He told her he'd do it in his office, and then demanded oral sex, Farrow wrote in the book, 'Catch and Kill. Nevils said she felt she had to do something to protect other women at NBC News, leading to her filing the complaint against Lauer in November Our hearts break again for our colleague.
NBC said then that Lauer had been fired for 'inappropriate sexual conduct. Farrow indicated that Lauer's behavior was an open secret at NBC. He quoted Lauer's former co-anchor Ann Curry — who left 'Today' on bad terms with Lauer — saying she had told NBC executives that Lauer 'had a problem with women' and they had to keep an eye on him.
Farrow said he'd learned of seven claims of sexual misconduct raised by women who worked with Lauer. Nevils, pictured, said she felt she had to do something to protect other women at NBC News, leading to her filing the complaint against Lauer in November He quoted a former production assistant, Addie Collins, who told him Lauer aggressively pursued her in and 'ordered' her to perform sexual favors.
Lauer said that he had never assaulted anyone or forced anyone to have sex. In his letter, he said he ended his relationship with Nevils 'poorly,' but that 'being upset or having second thoughts does not give anyone the right to make false accusations years later. Lauer acknowledged other extramarital encounters, and criticized the women involved for having 'abandoned shared responsibility' for the affairs to shield themselves from blame behind false allegations.
