"I have a hard time with that."
/
Former NBC News Correspondent Linda Vester is weighing in on Ronan Farrow’s book “Catch and Kill” and she is speaking out against her former employer.
Back in April of 2018, Vester leveled charges against former NBC Anchor Tom Brokaw and said that the anchorman forcibly attempted to kiss her.
In talking to Fox News Anchor Shannon Bream, Vester says she finds it hard to believe that the NBC bosses did not know about Matt Lauer and his actions.
Talking about the book and NBC’s response to Lauer, Vester said this, “I think Ronan Farrow's meticulous reporting is showing that NBC was not honest when it conducted its own internal investigation of sexual misconduct. In fact, they just really didn't get to the bottom of it at all. They didn't interview enough women. And we don't have the truth yet. And it seems that the cover-up continues at NBC News. It's really hard to get the truth out when the company itself is hiring internal or having an internal investigation instead of outside independent investigators really be able to get to the bottom of things. And I think that’s an inherent problem that has to stop at NBC News. It has to stop and Comcast, the parent company of NBC, has to now finally launch a real investigation, because Ronan is reporting, among other things, that NBC apparently did know that Matt was a problem. And let me tell you, from having worked at NBC News for nearly a decade, everybody knew, we all knew Matt was dangerous. That he had to be avoided at all costs. So, for NBC executives to say they didn't know, I have a hard time with that. And I think it's time for us to get the answers, so that women at NBC News can be safe. So Comcast, the parent company, should launch a real investigation with outside investigators right away.”
