NBC News will not restrain former employees with harassment complaints from speaking up
NBC News has said that there were no harassment complaints against Lauer — who worked at the network for 25 years and was widely known for having extramarital affairs — before Nevils came forward. Another former employee, who did receive a settlement payment, complained about Lauer after he was fired.
Farrow grew impatient with the delays, knowing the New York Times was also chasing the story. He agreed in August 2017 to take the story to the New Yorker. It was published seven weeks later and won the Pulitzer Prize, along with the Times.and its handling of the Weinstein reporting and Lauer’s dismissal. But Farrow’s book tour, which has included appearances on CBS, ABC, CNN and Fox News before sitting with Maddow on Friday, has put the division on full-time damage control duty.
Criticism also came from Tina Tchen, incoming president and CEO of Time’s Up. Tchen said NBC Universal didn’t go far enough with its statement and called on the company to release all former employees from non-disclosure agreements.
