Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush lost their shared book deal after he was accused of harassment — but only she had to pay back her advance

While he was taken off the news team covering the White House, he ultimately got to keep his job, as well as his sizable advance for a book he was scheduled to write.
In September 2017, Random House announced that star Times reporting partners Thrush and Haberman would be co-writing an insider-y book about Trump’s West Wing. Two months later, Thrush was accused of sexual misconduct by several women in a widely read Vox report, compelling the publisher to remove him from the project. Then, in a Times Q&A published in early July, Haberman informed readers that she was no longer writing the book.
Two sources familiar with the situation told the outlet that, after Random House took Thrush off the book, Haberman and the publisher discussed finding another co-author in an attempt to save it. When that search didn’t turn out to be fruitful, Haberman dropped the book, and reportedly had to to hand over her advance as well.
BuzzFeed News notes that this protocol is typical of book deals — Thrush would have a legal claim to hold onto his advance, while Haberman would not — but it’s inarguable that Haberman’s misfortune is a direct result of Thrush’s alleged misconduct. As BuzzFeed News puts it, “The outcome was that perhaps the most prominent woman journalist in America paid a literal price for a male colleague’s alleged transgressions.
