Topic: Linda Vester

Former NBC anchor Linda Vester has accused Tom Brokaw of sexual harassment, including an incident where he allegedly tickled her in a "predatory" manner. Vester claims the culture at NBC was "misogynistic and over-sexualized," and that she was silenced by Brokaw's immense power. Brokaw has denied the allegations, citing his long career and awards as a defense.

Linda Vester detailed a 1994 incident where Tom Brokaw allegedly forced his way into her hotel room after her flight was canceled. She claims the trauma from this encounter was worse than the "transient PTSD" she suffered from being carjacked or nearly blown up in war zones. The summary notes the timing of these allegations appearing in *Variety* as potentially part of a larger move against NBC.
