In an extraordinary new letter, NBC News president Noah Oppenheim, pictured right, says former employee Ronan Farrow is engaged in an "effort to defame NBC News." (CNN) - In an extraordinary new letter, NBC News president Noah Oppenheim says former employee Ronan Farrow is engaged in an "effort to defame NBC News." In "Catch and Kill," which comes out Tuesday, Farrow alleges that his Weinstein reporting effort was shut down for inappropriate reasons. In a memo to staffers on Monday, Oppenheim said that NBC "assigned Farrow the Weinstein story and actively supported it, editorially and financially, for seven months. His termination came one day after an employee, publicly identified for the first time in Farrow's book, lodged a complaint with HR.

A new book by journalist Ronan Farrow, titled "Catch and Kill," details Farrow's efforts to uncover alleged sexual predation by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. In the book, Farrow suggests that Weinstein used his knowledge of Lauer's alleged behavior Lauer was fired by NBC for "inappropriate sexual behavior" as leverage with the network to oppose the story's publication. Allegations of sexual misconduct by individuals such as Weinstein, Lauer and others helped spur the #MeToo movement, which has led to the toppling of powerful men across various industries including at multiple news organizations. Farrow's book also includes the first on-the-record interview with Brooke Nevils, the woman whose allegation that Matt Lauer raped her in 2014 led to his firing. Farrow's book is set for release Tuesday, and he begins his book tour Monday on "CBS This Morning."

"Again, I can't answer specific questions about that but I can say that Matt Lauer's thinking that's represented in this letter is in the book," Farrow replied, referring to Lauer's open letter statement. "Did they allow it because they were afraid information about Matt Lauer was going to get out?" Nevils went on to call Lauer's open letter "a case study in victim blaming." A representative for Farrow also released a statement in the wake of Lauer's open letter. "I was deeply shocked and saddened by Matt Lauer's letter yesterday in response to Brooke's allegations of sexual assault," Zinone said in part.

Lauer, who was terminated by the network two years ago after Nevils complained of "inappropriate sexual behavior" on Lauer's part, hit back hard Wednesday against her new accusations of rape. We performed oral sex on each other, we had vaginal sex, and we had anal sex. But on this night, she said, Lauer pushed her onto the bed, "asking if she liked anal sex," Farrow wrote. It was nonconsensual in that I said, multiple times, that I didn't want to have anal sex," Farrow quotes her as saying. I want to say that we know it wasnt easy for our colleague Brooke to come forward then.
