Read deep into the story and you see what looks like the reason they never fired Joy Reid for the homophobic and other offensive comments on her blog, because she knew about this story.
Via Fox News:
Author and activist Sil Lai Abrams said she is “one of the many survivors that NBC silenced” and Ronan Farrow isn’t the only reporter to have a sexual misconduct bombshell shut down by NBC News.
“Incredibly, a year after NBC botched Farrow’s reporting on Harvey Weinstein, they had the audacity to do it again,” Abrams wrote in The Daily Beast in a powerful first-person account published Monday headlined, “It’s not just Ronan Farrow: NBC News killed my rape-allegation story too.”
Abrams wrote that she initially “had no idea that NBC had a reputation for not breaking news about men accused of sexual assault” and therefore trusted NBC’s Joy Reid to report Abrams’ rape and sexual assault allegations against hip hop mogul Russell Simmons and “Extra” co-host A.J. Calloway.
Abrams had previously told The Hollywood Reporter that NBC refused to run her story, but elaborated on the experience in The Daily Beast because Farrow’s “Catch and Kill” has put a spotlight on the troubled Peacock Network. Farrow has alleged that NBC didn’t expose Weinstein as a sexual predator in part because the now-disgraced Hollywood mogul leveraged ex-NBC anchor Matt Lauer’s own sexual misconduct.
