In Ronan Farrow's new book "Catch And Kill," Farrow says Lauer harassed an NBC star, who signed an NDA when she left there in 2012. The NDA forced her to waive her right to sue and banned her from talking negatively about NBC.

We're not sure if the person in this new report is the same one in the book.

Farrow says the former unnamed NBC star told him Lauer and an NBC executive made lewd comments during broadcasts and propositioned her.

“I was like meat on a hook … I would walk into work with a knot in my stomach. I would come home and cry," she says.

"My career took a sharp nosedive" after she turned them down, she said, adding that she got "punished" and got fewer assignments. She never reported this to human resources, but told colleagues.

Fox News cites a source who says: “Matt had influence over everyone’s career — one word and your career would be sunk. I know there was a clear imbalance of power in this woman’s relationship with Matt.”
