In the final hour before the New York Times published its scathing October 5, 2017 expose of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged decades of sexual harassment, abuse and cover-up, Jodie Kantor and Megan Twoh…
— he shared the Pulitzer with Kantor and Twohey — spawned the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements in Hollywood that has seen Les Moonves, Kevin Tsujihara, Kevin Spacey, Roy Price, Louis C.K., John Lasseter and others knocked off their perches. That has spread to numerous public officials around the world, and saw a Supreme Court nominee subjected to much needed scrutiny, after Kantor and Twohey’s first article was published.
The book’s look over the last four decades of Weinstein’s life and rise also has cameos from Central Park Five prosecutor Linda Fairstein, the Clintons, planted Hollywood trade denials, Bob Weinstein, attorney Bert Fields, Times’s Up Legal Defense Fund co-founder Roberta Kaplan and “two-woman celebrity switchboard” Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner.
Serendipitously Kantor reached out to Reiter in September 2017 after months on the story. The two met soon afterwards in a bar in Tribeca and bit by bit with more and more specifics, they talked over the weeks that fall. After Kantor showed the exec the stories that some women had shared of Weinstein assaulting them, an “aghast” Reiter handed over the mother lode.
That’s when Kantor and Twohey and their editors thought they had the story and could go to print.
