NBC's Tom Brokaw has become the latest media personality to be accused of sexually misconduct.

Former NBC war correspondent, Linda Vester, told The Washington Post that Brokaw made unwanted advances toward her in the 1990s.

One of those advances, she claims, was a forcible kiss. Vester, now 52, said she was 28 at the time of the alleged incidents.

Vester alleged that Brokaw, now 78, invited her for a drink when she was in New York on assignment in 1994.

Former NBC correspondent, Linda Vester (left), has claimed that Brokaw (right) made unwanted advances toward her in the 1990s. One of those advances, she claims, was a forcible kiss. Vester said she was in her 20s at the time of the alleged incidents

She reportedly responded to him by saying that she only drinks milk and cookies.

'It was the only thing I could think of at the time, hoping the reference to milk and cookies would make him realize I was 30 years his junior and not interested,' she told the Post.

Vester claimed that Brokaw called her and told her that he was coming over because he was looking for 'an affair of more than passing affection'.

She alleged that he tried to give her a 'real kiss' while sitting on the hotel room's sofa.

'He grabbed me behind my neck and tried to force me to kiss him. I could smell alcohol on his breath, but he was totally sober. He spoke clearly. He was in control of his faculties,' Vester told Variety.

Vester said she managed to break away from him and said: 'Tom, I do not want to do this with you.'

'I guess I should go,' Brokaw allegedly replied. Vester then said that he even tried to kiss her on the way out as he left.

Vester also claimed that he made a second advance toward her a year later in London, where she rejected him once again. She had just been promoted to foreign correspondent in the London bureau.

It was in May 1995, that Vester claims she had another encounter with Brokaw after he flew in to anchor Nightly News from London for the 50th anniversary of VE Day.

'I’m out of the office, doing a story. When I get back, I found that Tom had left a small square post-it note on my desk that said, “Milk and cookies?” she told Variety.

She said he later messaged her asking what everyone was doing that night to which Vester responded that she was going out with friends.

Brokaw reportedly wanted to know where they were going and Vester answered told him.

'I figured he wouldn’t be brazen enough to show up to a restaurant where I’m with other people who aren’t even in television,' she told Variety.

From there, Vester claimed that Brokaw invited himself to her flat. Upon their arrival she says that he went straight for the sofa in the living room, similar to the alleged incident that had happened a year before.

Vester said he asked her to sit down again and when she did 'he reached behind my neck and tried to force my head toward him and force me to kiss him'.

Again, she said she broke away from him and said: 'You need to go.'

Vester told Variety she did not report the alleged incidents to NBC human resources or police because she was fearful it would hurt her career. Vester left NBC in 1999 to work at Fox News, where she remained until 2006.

Brokaw denied the allegations in a statement released to the Post by NBC, saying that his meetings with Vester 'were brief, cordial and appropriate'. He's pictured with Katie Couric in June 2017

Brokaw denied the allegations in a statement released to the Post by NBC.

'I met with Linda Vester on two occasions, both at her request, 23 years ago, because she wanted advice with respect to her career at NBC,' he said.

'The meetings were brief, cordial and appropriate, and despite Linda's allegations, I made no romantic overtures towards her, at that time or any other.'

Vester's lawyer, Ari Wilkenfeld, told Variety that his client chose to speak out about the allegations because she believes her story sheds light on the culture at NBC News.

According to Vester, after Today co-host Matt Lauer was fired over sexual misconduct claims, NBC should have brought in an outside firm to investigate the company.

NBC did launch an internal review of its practices, but Vester said other steps were necessary to fix NBC's culture.

After Lauer was fired from the Today show, he was replaced by NBC's Hoda Kotb, who joined Savannah Guthrie as the co-host of Today. Brokaw called the move 'historic and so deserved'

'What Linda is doing, like others before her have done, is to give her truthful account in the hope that other women will not have to endure what she did,' says Wilkenfeld, who also represented one of the victims from the Lauer case.

NBC's Hoda Kotb replaced Lauer and joined Savannah Guthrie as the co-host of Today, a move Brokaw called 'historic and so deserved'.

'Savannah and hoda - historic and so deserved. one more step in what i believe will the hallmark of the 21 century. women hv full parity,' Brokaw tweeted at the time.

Another woman, who worked as a production assistant in the 1990s when she was 24, claims that Brokaw put her 'hands under his jacket and against his chest and pulled me in so close and asked me, 'How is your job search going?'

Then he allegedly said: 'Why don't you come into my office after the show and let's talk about it.'

She told the Post that she refused to go to his office, and never reported the allegations.

Brokaw's began his career at the Peacock Network in 1966. Brokaw anchored NBC Nightly News from 1982 to 2004. He has since served as a special correspondent.

He later served as interim host of Meet the Press after Tim Russert's death in 2008.

Brokaw has been married to his wife Meredith Lynn Auld since 1962. They have three daughters together and five grandchildren.

In 2014, Brokaw publicly announced that he had started treatment for multiple myeloma.

Last year, he was honored at the 2017 Mirror Awards where he received the prestigious Fred Dressler Leadership Award.

During his more than 50 years at NBC News, Brokaw covered some of history's biggest stories, including the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 9/11 attacks.
