NBC Staffer Emily Miller Says She Was Sexually Harassed at the Network
Conservative pundit and former NBCer Emily Miller said she
was sexually harassed when she used to work at the network.
Miller joined Fox News’ Howard Kurtz on Sunday to discuss
Andy Lack’s step-down as NBC News and MSNBC chairman. She began by saying
Lack’s suppression of Ronan Farrow’s Harvey Weinstein reporting will be a
permanent stain on his legacy, and she also invoked the news that the New York
Attorney General’s Office is now investigating NBC over harassment claims
connected to Lack.
“When you worked at NBC News in the 1990s… did you have any
experience with sexual harassment?” Kurtz asked Miller
“I did,” she answered. “I did suffer from sexual harassment
and from older men and men in power. They made it very clear some of the
exchanges that would have to happen in order for me to be promoted there. And I
was so young, so naive I didn’t even really understand what was going on. I
knew that I had to leave.”
When asked if any of these interactions were “physical,”
Miller said “one was” and that everyone who harassed her still works for NBC.
She also claimed to have evidence of the harassment she received at NBC and is
willing to cooperate if law enforcement asks her to speak with them.
“He’s got his own issues and he’s been covering up for a lot
of things going on in there,” Miller said of Lack. “NBC, which is supposedly a
news organization, instead of actually investigating itself, having an outside
law firm investigate it – which is how every other network that’s been caught
up in this whole #MeToo system – is that they’ve had outside investigators look
at what these accusations are. NBC has refused.”
After her segment, Miller engaged with her Twitter followers
and emphasized her call for an investigation of NBC.
