Entertainment Ronnie Ortiz-Magro allegedly threatened to kill ex during confrontation

Variety reported on Oct. 8 that in Ronan Farrow's upcoming book "Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators," former NBC News staffer Brooke Nevils accuses scandalized former "Today" show anchor Matt Lauer of raping her while they were on assignment in Sochi during the 2014 Winter Olympics. (He's called their sexual history consensual.) The following morning, Lauer's former "Today" show colleagues addressed the allegations on the morning show: "This is shocking and appalling, and I honestly don't even know what to say about it," said Savannah Guthrie. "I want to say that I know it wasn't easy for our colleague Brooke to come forward then. It's not easy now. And we support her and any women who have come forward with claims. It's just very painful for all of us at NBC and who are at the 'Today' show, and, you know, it's very, very, very difficult." Chimed in Hoda Kotb, "It's like you feel like you've known someone for 12 years … and then all of a sudden, like, a door opens up and it's a part of them you didn't know. We don't know all the facts in all of this, but they're not allegations of an affair -- they're allegations of a crime, and I think that's shocking to all of us here who have sat with Matt for many, many years. I think we're gonna just sort of continue to process this part of this horrific story. And as you said, our thoughts are with Brooke. It's not easy what she did to come forward. It's not easy at all." Concluded Guthrie, "We're disturbed to our core. We have a commitment to keep you informed, and we will continue to do that." Lauer's former "Today" co-anchor Ann Curry took to Twitter on Oct. 9 to respond to the news: "Brooke Nevils is a credible young woman of good character. She came to NBC News an eager and guileless 20-something, brimming with talent. I believe she is telling the truth. And that breaks my heart," she tweeted.
