Lauer was fired from NBC in 2017 amid a slew of sexual harassment allegations, which have been detailed in exposes by journalistRonan Farrow and former Today Show host Katie Couric.
In Farrow’s 2019 novel Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators, former NBC producer Brooke Nevils accused Lauer of sexually assaulting her during non-consensual sex at the SochiOlympics in 2014.
Lauer responded to the accusation by saying: 'There was absolutely nothing aggressive about that encounter. Brooke did not do or say anything to object.'

Other anonymous women are reported to have complained to NBC about Lauer's sexual impropriety, with one saying she was summoned into his office in 2001 for sex. He would also sometimes quiz female producers about who they had slept with, it has been alleged.

In her tell-all Going There, Couric admitted that she 'heard the whispers' about her longtime colleague.
She claimed that one unnamed producer was told by Lauer to come to the now-infamous office wearing a 'skirt that came off easily'.
She also wrote that Lauer complained to her that he felt uncomfortable putting his arm around a female colleague to comfort her when she cried, over fears he could subsequently face an allegation of inappropriate behavior.
Even before these allegations were made, Couric said her former co-anchor Lauer told her he thought that feminist movements such as The Me Too were becoming too powerful.
'This MeToo stuff feels like it's getting kind of out of control,' Lauer reportedly told Couric. 'It feels like a witch hunt.'
She added that Lauer was 'worried about a lack of due process, people's livelihoods and reputations being destroyed.'
Couric told Lauer to stop putting his arm around the women as it was making them uncomfortable, she writes.
She said that she tried to 'imagine such a scene taking place' and told Lauer that 'he cannot do that - you cannot put your arm around them.'
