Speaking of pedo predators:
A previously unreported letter from Weinstein’s brother is reprinted in full in “She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement,” a new book by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, two reporters at The New York Times who broke the story of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged misdeeds, helping to spark the global #MeToo reckoning. The book, to be published on Tuesday by Penguin Press, sheds new light on the roles that several figures played in enabling Mr. Weinstein and covering up his misdeeds, and names key sources who helped reporters break the story — including company officials, Hollywood stars and other victims of the producer’s alleged abuse.
Drawing on new reporting and previously undisclosed corporate records, emails and text messages, “She Said” uncovers more on the extent of Mr. Weinstein’s alleged transgressions, and the labyrinth of secret settlements and restrictive nondisclosure agreements that allowed Mr. Weinstein and other men in positions of power to conceal their behavior and thrive in their careers, in some cases finding new victims.
Weinstein’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom is Gloria Alred’s daughter.
Billionaire Tom Steyer clears hurdle to join U.S. Democratic debate in October.
Ronan Farrow also deserves some credit, he published in the New Yorker magazine, which is a monthly. I think the Times finally agreed to print the story because they knew it was coming soon and wanted to grab the credit for the scoop.
Farrow also did us the service of telling us that even though he was a long time NBC reporter that they had refused to allow him to break the story on the network, months earlier.
Farrow shared the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service with the two New York Times reporters.
Farrow previously (2016) published an article about his father's sexual abuse of his older sister. (His father is Woody Allen, who married another of Ronan's sisters at age 19.)
