Brooke Nevils’ Memoir Excerpt Adds Graphic Details to Matt Lauer Rape Allegation

Her 2017 complaint led NBC to fire Lauer within 24 hours.

Overview

  • An excerpt from Unspeakable Things, published by The Cut, describes an alleged 2014 hotel-room assault in Sochi and details Nevils waking to find blood and significant pain.
  • Nevils writes that after returning to New York, there were additional encounters, including one where Lauer brought towels “just in case,” and she recalls four more instances later described by NBC as inappropriate workplace behavior.
  • She recounts severe psychological fallout after reporting the complaint, including heavy drinking, paranoia, and a stay in a psychiatric ward.
  • Lauer has denied the allegations since 2019, characterizing the relationship as an extramarital but consensual affair, and he has not been criminally charged.
  • In a new interview highlighted by People, Nevils says she worries about how her two children will one day process the memoir, which is scheduled for publication on Feb. 3.
