Andrew Lack, who heads NBC News, reportedly aggressively pursued women who worked for him, according to Ronan Farrow’s new book, Catch and Kill.
, Farrow reports that the then-married Lack was “almost unrelenting” in asking out CBS anchor Jane Wallace, the network at which he formerly worked, offering to take her to dinner “every day for almost a month.”
“If your boss does that, what are you gonna say?” Wallace told Farrow. “You know if you say ‘I don’t want to celebrate with you,’ you’re asking for trouble.” She said their sexual relationship was “ultimately consensual, but I didn’t just get flirted with. I got worked over.”“As she left the show, she recalled him yelling, ‘You will never get credit,’” Farrow wrote. “Then the network deployed a tactic that the public was barely conscious of at the time: it offered her a substantial payout to sign a binding nondisclosure agreement.”“It wasn’t till I really got out of there that I felt the full force of it. Of how disgusted I was,” she told Farrow.
“When Laird asked to be reassigned, Lack wouldn’t allow it,” Farrow wrote. “He compelled her to work longer hours, and on weekends, and proposed she cancel vacations.”Farrow has been instrumental in uncovering several abuse allegations connected to Harvey Weinstein as well as Les Moonves and Eric Schneiderman.
