The women they hurt won't be."I met with Linda Vester on two occasions, both at her request, 23 years ago, because she wanted advice with respect to her career at NBC,” he said in a statement provided by NBC to the Post. "The meetings were brief, cordial and appropriate, and despite Linda’s allegations, I made no romantic overtures towards her, at that time or any other."
Brokaw was accused of acting "inappropriately toward" another woman, the Post reported. The woman, who requested anonymity, was a production assistant who worked with him at the time.
The news came in a broader story about sexual misconduct at NBC News, including an anecdote from Todayco-host Ann Curry about a woman who complained to her about being sexually harassed by Matt Lauer, who was fired in November after allegations of sexual misconduct.
