More about the book
For years, reporters sought the truth about Harvey Weinstein's treatment of women, with rumors of misconduct circulating widely. In 2017, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey initiated an investigation for the New York Times, uncovering disturbing allegations through confidential interviews with actresses and former employees. Their work revealed a network of secret payouts and nondisclosure agreements used to conceal sexual harassment and abuse. Despite previous evasion of scrutiny, Weinstein fought back, employing a team of lawyers and private investigators to obstruct the investigation. Eventually, Kantor and Twohey secured on-the-record testimonies, leading to a dramatic confrontation between Weinstein and the Times. The publication of their initial story on October 5, 2017, unleashed a wave of revelations as women worldwide shared their own experiences of harassment. In the following year, numerous men across various industries faced allegations. However, questions arose about the extent of change, particularly as Brett Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court and Christine Blasey Ford accused him of past assault. Kantor and Twohey, with unique access to Ford and her team, illuminate her journey to come forward, the immense pressures she faced, and the aftermath of her public allegation.
