Harvey Weinstein’s defense tries to undercut Jennifer Siebel Newsom rape charge, confronts her with dozens of her friendly emails with the disgraced Hollywood producer
I would suggest, when the power imbalance is as lopsided as it was between Weinstein, then one of the most important players in Hollywood, and the many aspiring actors and assistants he assaulted, there is no “transaction” at play. At least not in the traditional sense. He punished women who successfully fought him off, and some who were not able to. He
. He paid large amounts of money to numerous victims and made them sign nondisclosure agreements. Gagging so many women meant he was free to victimize again and again.“He took my voice when I was just about to start finding it,” says one of his victims in “She Said.”to Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s book of the same name, centers on the experiences of women and their struggle to overcome the entirely justifiable fear of going public, then being slimed as transactional bimbos.
I was moved by the empathy and kindness shown to Weinstein’s victims by reporter Kantor, played by Zoe Kazan. She and her reporting partner, Twohey, played by Carey Mulligan, feared that if none of the women who told horrifying stories allowed their names to be printed, the story might not see the light of day. But they did not coerce or cajole.
