Tom Brokaw has been accused of sexual harassment by Linda Vester, a former war correspondent for NBC News.
Vester claims that the first incident took place in 1993. “We were in the Denver bureau, and there was a conference room. I’m standing there, and Tom Brokaw enters through the door and grabs me from behind and proceeds to tickle me up and down my waist,” she tells Variety. “I jumped a foot and I looked at a guy who was the senior editor of ‘Nightly,’ and his jaw was hanging open. Nobody acted like anything wrong was happening, but I was humiliated.”
Charlie Rose, Bill O'Reilly, Matt Lauer, Tom Brokaw. What is with these news guys? Please god, tell me Wolf Blitzer is clean!!! -

Morning Joe is like a private club for sex offenders: Tom Brokaw, Mark Halperin, Harold Ford, and I'm probably forgetting as couple. And that's without even speculating on the conspiracy theories regarding Joe's dead intern…
And then in the larger NBC family you have Matt Lauer and Chris Matthews.
And these are just the well-known on-air personalities…there are probably many more. -

“Some people might be tempted to believe that all harassers look and act like Harvey Weinstein. It’s not true,” Vester told ABC’s “Good Morning America” host George Stephanopoulos on Thursday. “Some of them can look like cultural icons, like Tom Brokaw, and they can be decent during the day to a lot of people and actually be really kind a lot of the time. And yet still have hidden behavior.”
