I want to take a moment to talk about the language we're using when we're talking about this.

So without asking you to relive every moment, can you help listeners understand what you say happened in that room and why you describe it specifically as assault?

Because Ronan Farrow writes that when you went to NBC...

You unambiguously described a rape.

That is his read on what you shared.

But you weren't ready to use that word yourself.

Matt Lauer has described that night very differently.

He used words like mutual, consensual, enthusiastic.

And those were actually words that you yourself used at certain points throughout the years before you came to understand.

When did your understanding of what happened start to shift?

In the aftermath of a sexual assault, yes.

I want to get back to the language thing a little bit because I think it's just really important.

You spend a lot of time on it in the book.

And I bring up what Matt said happened because he continually refers to it as an affair.

For some time, you talked about it as an affair.

But when you read the story from your point of view...

It wasn't even transactional.

There was nothing romantic about it.

There wasn't even anything.

It didn't even read like a hookup where there are two people who mutually agree.
