Matt Lauer accused of rape by TV colleague

According to Variety, in a new book by Ronan Farrow, Catch and Kill, Brooke Nevils accused the ousted Today show host of anally raping her in a Sochi hotel room in 2014 during the network’s Olympic coverage.

In the book, Brooke alleges that she ended up in Matt's hotel room after meeting him at the bar.

Once she was in his hotel room, Brooke alleges, Matt pushed her against the door and kissed her. He then pushed her onto the bed, “flipping her over, asking if she liked anal sex,” Farrow writes. “She said that she declined several times.”

According to Brooke, she “was in the midst of telling him she wasn’t interested again when he ‘just did it,’” Farrow writes.

“Matt, she said, didn’t use lubricant. The encounter was excruciatingly painful. ‘It hurt so bad. I remember thinking, Is this normal?’ She told me she stopped saying no, but wept silently into a pillow.”

Matt then asked her if she liked it. She tells him yes. She claims that “she bled for days,” Farrow writes.

Brooke tells Farrow: “It was nonconsensual in the sense that I was too drunk to consent,” she says. “It was nonconsensual in that I said, multiple times, that I didn’t want to have anal sex.”
