Shes billed as a producer on several high-profile shows for NBC including Headliners, 90 Day Fianc: Happily Ever After?, and Royal Wedding Watch. She was a TV producer at NBC working at 30 Rockefeller Plaza until 2018 when she went on medical leave after leaving NBC and allegedly receiving a seven-figure payout from them, according to Varietys reporting.

Nevils grew up in Missouri and graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a double major in political science and the Writing Seminars. She then tells Farrow that she bled for days, following the incident. When Lauer asked if she liked it, she told him yes, according to Farrows book. I remember thinking, Is this normal? She told me she stopped saying no, but wept silently into a pillow. The encounter was excruciatingly painful. She said that she declined several times.'Īccording to Farrows book, she allegedly was in the midst of telling him she wasnt interested again when he just did it, Farrow adds, Lauer, she said, didnt use lubricant. He then pushed her onto the bed, flipping her over, asking if she liked anal sex, Farrow writes. Once she was back in his hotel room, Lauer who was wearing a T-shirt and boxers pushed her against the door and kissed her.

Nevils, Farrow writes, had no reason to suspect Lauer would be anything but friendly based on prior experience. At the end of the night, Nevils, whod had six shots of vodka, ended up going to Lauers hotel room twice once to retrieve her press credential, which Lauer had taken as a joke, and the second time because he invited her back. In her account, one night over drinks with Vieira at the hotel bar where the NBC News team was staying, they ran into Lauer, who joined them. In Sochi, Nevils was tasked with working with former Today co-anchor Meredith Vieira, whod been brought back to the show to do Olympics coverage. NBC had kept her identity and the details of the allegations private until now. Nevils complaint was the catalyst to Lauer being fired as co-anchor of the Today show in 2017.

Variety obtained a copy of Ronan Farrows new book Catch and Kill, in which Farrow interviews the 35-year-old Nevils, who describes the incident in detail.
