If your boss does that, what are you gonna say?

Wallace said to Farrow.

You know if you say, I dont want to celebrate with you, youre asking for trouble.

Their sexual relationship was ultimately consensual, but I didnt just get flirted with.

I got worked over, she said.

When their relationship came undone, Wallace remembers Lack threatening her career.

As she left the show, she recalled him yelling, You will never get credit, Farrow writes.

A source close to Lack told Page Sixthat Wallaces charges are dead wrong and that there was no retaliation.

Another young employee, Jennifer Laird, spoke to Farrow about what she called a hostile relationship with Lack.

When Laird asked to be reassigned, Lack wouldnt allow it, Farrow writes.

He compelled her to work longer hours, and on weekends, and proposed she cancel vacations.

In the book, a rep denies that Lack retaliated in any way.

InCatch and Kill, Farrow also suggests that Lack was involved inkilling Farrows investigationinto Harvey Weinstein.

Farrows producer for the segment, Rich McHugh, refutes this in a newVanity Fairarticle.

(In a statement toVanity Fair, NBC maintained that Nestor was unwilling to be outed.)
