Ronan Farrow‘s done pissed off the peacock.
Page Six reports that a civil war is brewing at NBC after it was claimed that the 30-year-old journalist has been banned by NBC News‘ exec Andy Lack.
The chatter began when Farrow was suddenly bumped from his appearance on Rachel Maddow‘s MSNBC show on Friday, where he was set to discuss his story on Donald Trump‘s alleged affair with former Playboy model Karen McDougal.

Insiders say this decision was made by Lack, still salty over Farrow saying that NBC killed his Harvey Weinstein exposé in late 2017.
Mia Farrow‘s son was on Maddow in October when he was asked why NBC didn’t release the story, as he was a freelance journalist for the network at the time. He responded by saying:
“You would have to ask NBC and NBC executives about the details of that story. I’m not going to comment on any news organization’s story that they did or didn’t run. I will say that over many years, many news organizations have circled this story and faced a great deal of pressure in doing so. And there are now reports emerging publicly about the kinds of pressure that news organizations face in this. And that is real.”
OK, that may be real, but what about the rumored disdain Lack now has for the former government advisor?
Network reps didn’t comment, but other sources claim Farrow’s interview was really axed because of breaking Russia indictment news.
