Nevils told “like a million people” about Lauer. She told her inner circle of friends. She told colleagues and superiors at NBC.

But she was never inconsistent, and she made the seriousness of what had happened clear. When she moved to a new job within the company, working as a producer for Peacock Productions, she reported it to one of her new bosses there. She felt they should know, in case it became public and she became a liability. This was no secret.
