Matt Lauer Denies Rape Allegation, ‘Today’ Crew Responds

09/10/2019

TMZ.com

8:57 AM PT — “Today” anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb seemed to have Brooke’s back Wednesday morning during their reporting of the story, somberly saying the allegations she made were “shocking and appalling” and that they fully support Brooke coming forward.


TODAY

Hoda went on to explain that this new revelation — much like the initial wave of allegations against Matt — was like opening a door on somebody you thought you knew, but realizing there’s an ugly side to them. She notes that these aren’t just allegations of an affair, but allegations of a crime … and that news was a shocking bombshell to the “Today” crew.

Both of them said they were going to take time to process the claim, but made a point of saying they were disturbed nonetheless.

Matt Lauer is firing back against a bombshell claim of rape against him by an ex-NBC employee, saying all the sexual encounters they had were consensual and mutual.

The disgraced “Today” show outcast penned a letter Wednesday in response to a salacious claim made in Ronan Farrow‘s new book — in which a woman named Brooke Nevils says Matt anally raped her in his hotel room at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Nevils — a former NBC producer — claims she and Matt had several drinks together one night, and that on two separate occasions … she went up to his hotel room. During that second visit, Nevils alleges Matt pounced on her, put her on the bed and penetrated her.

In the book, Ronan says Nevils told him she repeatedly said “no” during the alleged rape.

Matt says that account is “categorically false” though, going on to explain that the episode was completely wanted and reciprocated on both sides … which carried over into what he describes as an “extramarital affair” back in New York.

In his letter, Matt writes … “In a new book, it is alleged that an extramarital, but consensual, sexual encounter I have previously admitted having, was in fact an assault. It is categorically false, ignores the facts, and defies common sense.”

He goes on … “I had an extramarital affair with Brooke Nevils in 2014. It began when she came to my hotel room very late one night in Sochi, Russia. We engaged in a variety of sexual acts. We performed oral sex on each other, we had vaginal sex, and we had anal sex. Each act was mutual and completely consensual.”

Matt also claims Nevils did not cry during the hotel encounter, nor did she behave as if it was an assault. In fact, he says she embraced him as she left. On top of that, Matt says he and Nevils continued their affair for months afterward, continuing to have sex.

The longtime anchor ends by saying he’s remained silent until now but feels the need to defend himself … adding that the women he had affairs with “have abandoned shared responsibility, and instead, shielded themselves from blame behind false allegations.” He says they’ve also “done enormous damage in the process.”

Matt was fired from NBC after several allegations of harassment and misconduct surfaced.
