Farrow did eventually publish a damning amount of evidence against Weinstein in The New Yorker, shortly after the Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor published other allegations against the Hollywood producer. The three shared a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting. In"Catch and Kill," McGowan told Farrow that in 1997, after McGowan attained early success in Weinstein-produced films like"Scream," and was working on another,"Phantoms," with Affleck, her business manager set up a meeting with Weinstein at a hotel restaurant. The meeting moved to Weinstein's hotel suite, and McGowan alleges Weinstein used his physical size to overpower her and rape her.
He continued:"I didn't act on what she told me. It was a long time ago and I don't know if she remembers telling me, but the fact that I had that conversation has come back to haunt me in the light of these revelations. It's the only direct account of this kind of behaviour by Harvey Weinstein that's ever been told to me."
Why were these women going to these hotel rooms? Not exactly smart, IMO.
What women know or don't know has always been a mystery to me.
