Matt Lauer Spotted on Rare Outing With Girlfriend After Accuser's Memoir

Matt Lauer was seen on a rare public outing with his girlfriend, Shamin Abas, in the Hamptons over the 4th of July weekend, five months after his accuser Brooke Nevils released a memoir detailing her allegations against him. The couple attended a holiday party hosted by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. This sighting follows a previous public appearance in Sag Harbor, New York, in March. Nevils' memoir, *Unspeakable Things*, was published in February and recounts her allegations that Lauer anally raped her in a hotel room in Russia while they covered the Olympics for NBC. Lauer was fired from *Today* in 2017 after Nevils filed a formal complaint. Lauer has denied the allegations, claiming the encounters were consensual, while Nevils has stated she was too drunk to give consent. Lauer has not publicly commented on the memoir.
