Biggest bomb from Matt Lauer’s accuser Brooke Nevils’ memoir

According to Nevils, she celebrated with her old boss, Meredith Vieira, after the broadcaster made history as the first woman to solo host Olympic coverage in primetime. A moment later, Lauer came in and joined them.

“Not everyone had been drunk and alone while Matt Lauer insisted on having a… s–. None of them had been there with me in that spinning room, or in my drunken, unstable body, or my hazy, panicky mind. No one could tell me that I wasn’t going crazy or that it wasn’t my fault or that it would be okay,” she wrote in part, according to the excerpt shared by The cut.

Elsewhere in the book, Nevils attempted to define the word “rape,” saying she almost never uses it, “because when you hear the word rape, you think of a man in a balaclava in a dark alley fighting for your life.”

She continued, “And that’s just not the reality of how sexual violence happens, when most of the time it’s someone you know and trust. So we don’t really have the language to talk about this and we certainly didn’t have that in 2017 when I reported it.”

The next morning, Nevils found her underwear and bedding “caked in blood.” She also recalled feeling “painful when walking” and “painful when sitting.”

“It hurt to remember,” she added.
