“She said that she declined several times”:
“Lauer — who was wearing a T-shirt and boxers — pushed her against the door and kissed her. He then pushed her onto the bed, ‘flipping her over, asking if she liked anal sex,’ Farrow writes. ‘She said that she declined several times.’” https://t.co/kuxBoX6Mj8

“Everyone at NBC knew yet nothing was done”:
“It was nonconsensual in the sense that I was too drunk to consent,” she says. “It was nonconsensual in that I said, multiple times, that I didn’t want to have anal sex.”
She says everyone at NBC knew yet nothing was done. I presume she was one of many.https://t.co/kuxBoX6Mj8

NBC, you have some explaining to do:
Ronan Farrow writes that NBC executives downplayed the employee’s allegations internally and were generally obstructive throughout the reporting process. https://t.co/Ver1oTCguS
