In his 2019 book "Catch And Kill," journalist Ronan Farrow documented a pattern in which Lauer pursued women on staff at NBC over the course of decades. One of those women was Brooke Nevils, who was in her late 20s and working with former "Today" show co-anchor Meredith Vieira on NBC's coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

There, she says, he sexually assaulted her, an allegation Lauer denies.
