Lawyer says NBC failing to protect privacy of Lauer accuser

in #news8 years ago

A lawyer for a woman who accused former "Today" anchor Matt Lauer of sexual misconduct said Friday that NBC was failing to protect the woman's privacy.

"NBC has a duty to maintain confidentiality," the lawyer, Ari Wilkenfeld told Stephanie Gosk in an interview on "Today" Friday morning. "That means to maintain secrecy over her name and to hold to themselves the details of her story. They have not done a good job of doing that. They know exactly what they have done. And they need to stop."

But Wilkenfeld revealed no details about what specifically NBC has done that would damage the accuser's privacy. Pressed by Gosk in the interview, he declined to discuss the basis for his allegation.

When NBC announced the firing of Lauer on Nov. 29, it did not reveal the name of the woman — an NBC employee — whose accusation led to the firing, and her name has not been made public. But NBC News executives subsequently confirmed, in media reports and in meetings with employees across the news division, that Lauer was accused of sexually harassing the woman beginning at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
