In one-on-one with ABC News' GStephanopoulos, investigative journalist Ronan Farrow defends his upcoming book, saying Matt Lauer accusations were 'extensively fact-checked.'
Investigative journalist Ronan Farrow spoke with"Good Morning America" Friday about the stunning revelations from his upcoming book on reporting stories that fueled the #MeToo movement.
Beyond the specific allegations involving Nevils, Farrow described how he reportedly found that NBC News had been aware of and arranged earlier settlement agreements involving allegations against Lauer. "It was nonconsensual in the sense that I was too drunk to consent. ... It was nonconsensual in that I said, multiple times, that I didn't want to have anal sex," Nevils told Farrow.
"I am not afraid of him now regardless of his threats, bullying, and the shaming and predatory tactics I knew he would and now has tried to use against me," she said in the statement to NBC."I want to thank the many survivors who shared their stories with me today and offered their support. It takes courage, and I am truly grateful," Nevils wrote.
