Brokaw Accuser Linda Vester Speaks Out on GMA: Some Harrassers ‘Can Look Like Cultural Icons’ (Mediaite)

Linda Vester, one of three women who have so far accused veteran journalist Tom Brokaw of sexual harassment, spoke out Thursday on ABC’s Good Morning America — revealing further damning details about the alleged workplace culture inside Rockefeller Center, and what she believes must be done in the wake of these stunning allegations.

Vester told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that she was surprised by part of Brokaw’s response to the allegations. Specifically, she said, Brokaw’s personal attacks on his accusers were unexpected.

“I expected a denial. That is what harassers generally do. What I didn’t expect was such a personal attack and what I’m concerned about is the message that that sends inside NBC News about whether or not they are safe to report someone who is powerful if they get that kind of backlash,” Vester said.
