28:11Now PlayingBrooke Nevils, a former NBC producer, says she felt like there was a "target on her back" when she came forward with her allegations of sexual assault against Matt Lauer in 2017. In her report, she alleged that Lauer, then "Today Show" co-anchor, sexually assaulted her in 2014 at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Lauer has never been charged with criminal wrongdoing and maintains their relationship was a consensual one.
In her new book "Unspeakable Things," Nevils examines the broader issues of workplace harassment and the challenges of speaking out against a powerful person through interviews with experts and her personal narrative. CNN reached out to Lauer for a response to the book and did not hear back.
