– tackles Jodi Kantor, Twohey's colleague and Times cultural correspondent, who gets wind of the brewing Weinstein scandal., and rumours of Weinstein's sexual predation – a well-kept Hollywood secret, and a story that has been quashed before – are bubbling over into the mainstream press, foreshadowing a long-overdue reckoning with male power and abuse.
Not everyone is ready to go on the record, however: Years of hush money paid out by Weinstein, and prohibitive NDAs administered by his legal team, have left the super-producer's alleged victims – many now middle-aged women, their experiences dating back to the early 90s – silenced and scared. "It was like he took my voice that day," says former Weinstein assistant Laura Madden, played in middle age by an affecting Jennifer Ehle. "Just as I was about to start finding it."
I'm sure all the female Hollywood lefties that knew this open secret and brought young women to him will be portrayed as victims too.
