Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw has been accused of sexual
harrassment by a former NBC anchor, Variety reports.
Former NBC correspondent Linda Vester said in a series of interviews with
Variety conducted over several months that the legendary news anchor
physically tried to force her to kiss him on two separate occasions, groped
her in a conference room and showed up at her hotel room uninvited.
Vester described an incident in a New York City hotel room with Brokaw
putting his hand behind her neck and gripped her head. Now let me
show you how to give a real kiss, he said, in Vesters
recollection, and jerked her head toward him. She remembers tensing her neck
muscles and using all her strength to wriggle free and stand up. She wrote,
I said Tom ... I dont want to do
that with you.
Brokaw sat silent for a few minutes, then finally said, I think I
should go. Vester nodded vigorously.
ester said he tried to make the interaction seem consensual when they spoke
the next day. Vester disagreed and later met with another friend who
corroborated in an interview that Vester was rattled by the
episode and disappointed in what had happened given her
respect for Brokaw.
Vester, who who later worked at Fox News and left the business, said she
warded off Brokaw's advances during a second incident in London.
Linda has shown incredible courage and conviction coming forward to
share the details of her experiences working at NBC, said Ari
Wilkenfeld, her attorney. She does so at her own expense and peril.
She wants nothing for herself.
Brokaw denied Vester's allegations. I met with Linda Vester on
two occasions, both at her request, 23 years ago, because she wanted advice
with respect to her career at NBC, he said in a statement issued by
NBC. The meetings were brief, cordial and appropriate, and despite
Lindas allegations, I made no romantic overtures towards her, at
that time or any other.
Another woman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told the Washington
Post that Brokaw acted inappropriately toward her in the 1990s, when she was
a young production assistant and he was an anchor. He said no such incident
happened.
Brokaw helped anchor the network's coverage as recently as April 21,
during Barbara Bush's funeral, and was also part of NBC News'
coverage team for the State of the Union address this year.
He joined NBC News in 1966 anchoring the 11 p.m. news for KNBC. He anchored
NBC Nightly News from 1982 until his retirement in 2004. During the 1980s,
1990s and early 2000s, he became known as one of the Big Three
news anchors in the U.S., becoming the only person to have hosted all
three major NBC News programs: The Today Show, NBC Nightly News and Meet the
Press.
The accusations follow the termination of Matt Lauer, a two-decade veteran
of Today, in November after a complaint was filed against him for
inappropriate sexual behavior at work that reportedly occurred during the
Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014.
NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack called the accusations against Lauer a
clear violation of our companys standards.
Lauer, the longest-running morning show anchor, exited Today as the highest
paid morning show personality with an annual salary of $25 million. | q******s
