'I am not afraid of him': Matt Lauer rape accuser speaks out

Brooke Nevils, a former NBC employee who accused Matt Lauer of rape, said the former Today show host was attempting “to bully” her “into silence.”

“There’s a Matt Lauer that millions of Americans watched on TV every morning for two decades. And there is the Matt Lauer who this morning attempted to bully a former colleague into silence,” Nevil said in a statement that aired Wednesday on NBC Nightly News. “His open letter was a case study in victim shaming. I am not afraid of him now regardless of his threats, bullying and the shaming and predatory tactics I know he has tried to use against me.”
