How Harvey Weinstein’s Sexual Abuse Cover Up Fell Apart | The Backstory | The New Yorker
This exposes Hollywood more than it exposes Weinstein.
yes cause they all knew and DID NOTHING just like with Corey Haim and Courtney Love if nobody has ever showed a display of holding the past hurt and not being heard it is courtney
But sadly it'll be just like the Bronx Tale soon, Nobody Cares, Nobody Cares....
Sorry but powerful rich white men in Hollywood are hard to prosecute, he aint no Cosby
Not Hollywood...powerful people who believe they can get away with it.
NaTuRaL L.G. Cosby was more aggressive than Harvey as he literally drugged women and then rapped their unconscious bodies. He did this for decades. I get very confused with the constant race card with you guys. Harvey used his power to assault women with only a handful saying he actually full on raped them.
Everyone is bashing Harvey now, but when Courtney Love talked about it over 10 years ago no one was batting an eye and she had to suffer the consequences alone! Courtney is a true hero, everyone else is two-faced.
Cortney? The person who killed, or paid to, Kurt Cobain? Sure, she is a hero!!!!
Yeah, people have been talking about it for years...like an open secret...like he mentioned in the beginniNG OF THE VIDEO
@@mikatu ya since u have proof to that huh?! Lol what a joke.
Sausage Cream dude do some research trust me
@@shea2111 She's a junkie as well though lol
We're all pretending Harvey is doing this alone 🙄🙄. Look closer, there's PLENTY of them, most of your icons in Hollywood
It's happening in every sector everywhere and in every continent. It's worse in some continents where women cannot speak out or up as the govt and every sector is heavily male dominated: Africa and I'm sure in the Middle East as well.
@@inelsclassics4378 India and Bollywood
Evidence?

Tom Hanks too, he’s a puppet right now going underground
''Im used to that''
Disgusting, absolutely disgusting
He even sworn on his kids.
I feel bad for his kids..
'I'm a famous guy'
1. Shows how much women value fame over self respect.
2. Shows what a predator he is.
Brad Pitt was the only person I've heard about that confronted him face to face.
and then his career petered out ...
for true?
It was back when he dated Gwyneth Paltrow. She talked about it on Howard Stern. Also, Brad Pitt's career never went away. Dude made plenty of movies after.
@@miketaylor9544 and is still making movies now.. both starring and producing.
And yet he worked with Tarantino in a Weinstein produced movie back in 2008.
Hollywood and the media covered for this guy for years but then suddenly they became righteous. Yeah right.
My sentiments exactly. These crusaders think this will kill the "casting couch"
@bongo155 and some how the people in nsnbc and cnn are saints? Oh please.
Martha Vaughan The casting couch may still be alive, but it is wounded.
Well they didn't but a lot of are fighting it.
How did the media cover for him? He had an entire team of people paid to bury these accusations and smear the victims so the accusations never resulted in arrest. The media reported the accusations throughout the years but if nothing comes of them then there's nothing else to report. It's not the media's job to arrest him.
Isn’t it sad that Courtney Love made that comment back in 2005? and nothing happened for all those years ...
And then she was blacklisted by the CAA! The agency that arranged countless meetings betwen HW and young actresses (even tho many of them complained of his behavior after the meetings!).
EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT HARVEY. Including Oprah.
Open secret
Salieri Amadeus truth .. all supporters of the DNC too
They dont care it's all a facade for the public
They are all accomplices.
I lost a lot of respect for her after that.
"I swear on my children..." that would hurt me deeply if I were one of Harvey's children...
Narcissists have little empathy; their kids are like everyone else...of no consequence.
Abraham Ghide psychopath don't feel about their children as a normal person does. I don't KNOW that he's a psychopath....but.
Really, that's probably the least terrible thing about being his kid. If he bullied and abused adults, you know his kids didn't escape his reign of terror.
Abraham Ghide He was lying. He would swear on his children and it meant nothing. He would go ahead and violate women anyway.
Billions of money,but zero-respect
props to courtney love
Dude, right? Wasn’t expecting that
+Akif *HAHAHAAAA* I love how your stupid attempt at trolling got nothing . . . . until my laughter
@@Elhastezy888 its not trolling he is a hero to many men. its a FACT
@@Elhastezy888 i think you describe a hollywood walt disney comic book version of what a hero really is. Some one like wienstien who managed to fU*ck a lot of woman is a hero to many men. lol
Like I said . . . . Morons will always be around.
With their opinions & their butt-holes, both being on the same level.
Just not sure why you felt the need to reiterate it *?* ;0]
Extremely Fat, Doughy, Ugly, Gluttonous, Insecure, No desire to improve himself, has to force himself on other's, use power to intimidate, pay's large sums of money to cover it up, pays money to harass truth tellers, destroys lives and you equate that with "getting to f*ck women" *OR* you want us to believe its "other's" who think this while your the one typing (?)
bye bye & good luck
Ricky Gervais' truth bombs brought me here...
same
same...
I was looking for this comment and not disappointed.
Same
Ricky Gervais is just another member of the big club...you're not woke until you understand this...
An open secret??? I love how the Hollywood people knew about this for years and all of a sudden act so outraged when it finally comes to light. They allowed this behavior to happen by being silent. They can’t have it both ways, trying to all of a sudden be “woke” and champions for women when they perpetuated this for so long!
Because they are all waiting to jump on the next villain, just waiting to see who’s the next to go down before they open their mouths.
Accomplices.
Exactly!
People knew about it AND covered for him. It’s truly horrific
I believe some people just sold their bodies and integrity to be successful
The shame should reside within the abuser never the victim.
Unless that victim used it as a stepping stone for personal gain and letting the abuser reign free for years untill the abusers overlords is done with him and gave the victims the green light to start an uproar.
only fools and evil people deal in absolutes
unless the allegations are false
@hello therr Harvey Weinstein is a hero
hello therr- Frank Sinatra is his dad.
Ronan Farrow’s bravery, intelligence and confidence are astounding. He could have used his celebrity parentage to pursue any egocentric career or lifestyle. Instead, he and The New Yorker will be forever remembered for a tectonic shift in human history, workers’ rights, abuse of power and so much more. Real change in society shifts when those with social power say so and mean it. As terrible as this all is, I’m relieved it’s all coming out.
we support you women subscribe and watch we will help you come forward .. I heard there are 1000 more in LALA Land czcams.com/video/EEcWCmnxfqQ/video.html#action=share
well said.
Yes! You stated so accurately about what I think and feel about this, too. Ronan Farrow is one incredible and a genius person!
Frank Sinatra would be proud
Well said!
"I swear on my children"
Oh boy...
Clearly means his kids mean nothing to him, and he's not a man of his words
Ambra Battilana is the hero who outed Harvey Weinstein. She is almost never acknowledged.
It's so messed up that NBC refused to air Ronan's original story and he had to go to the New Yorker. At one point, he even personally paid for a camera crew to film an interview, and finally they killed the story.
NBC is owned by her by Harvey's cousin's.
social media is going to kill the newspaper show
I know Ronan doesn’t like taking any credit for this movement, but I really hope he knows how much women all over the world appreciate what he did by helping these stories become mainstream. Thank you sir
Daniele, er... the credit should go to the black lady that created the movement and kick started investigations. the reason you lot did not hear much about her is because of well whiteness, unless a story is told through the perspective of a white woman it will never be relatable FACT. ronan is making good use of white phenomenal white privilege.
@@PHlophe what's the name of this black woman?
Tarana Burke. say her name and really loud so what white women can hear it
@@PHlophe you racists make everything so cringy, just vanish already.
Ronan The Accuser?
I'm here because of Ricky Gervais, I wanted to know who Ronan is.
Salvador Prado read or listen to his book Catch and Kill. You won’t regret it.
Mia farrow's son.rumor is that his dad is Frank Sinatra
@@cynthiaerickson3646 But still weird that Woody Allan of all people is his registered dad.
He once said of Woody Allen "He's my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression."
Same.
Oprah continues to support her close friend Harvey Weinstein.
Yeah that's messed up
That's crazy because Oprah was sexually abused by men in her family when she was young.
@@Jflwer that's true
the love of Oprah is prove the USA is full of idiots
IN ALL HONESTY I DON'T BELIEVE SHE HAS A CHOICE!! I STRONGLY BELIEVE IF SHE COULD HAVE SHE WOULD HAVE!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE'S HOLDING OVER HER HEAD BUT IT MUST BE A DOOZY!!
Harvey is the tip of the ice berg.
This has been goung on a long time wondering if Rock Hudson was part of the casting couch so he became the way he did lure of money and surrounded by evil this is horrible,disgusting abuse of power its everywere in the world no one is safe as consiness of people is dead awful atmosphere stinks all aground awful 😐
gutter 529 didn’t kill himself
Just hearing him beg, made my skin crawl. All brave strong women.
Their not brave... They have an agenda they could spell the beans years ago
Bruno Trindade oh shut up
@@widowswail888 The man are accountable sure... But the women are no victims they taked that side money to shut up and still be relevant actresses instead of doing the right thing and perseve their dignity... They should have said no to the casting couch
the brave women are the ones who were defamed after not sleeping with him. Thats it thats all
@@brunotrindade1663 he is a criminal too. They feared for their life and his actions were more and more day by day. Well he get what he deserves.
People that cover for these monsters or turn a blind eye are just as bad
@George Job we are all guilty! Everytime Hollywood pairs a young girl with an old letch and we still buy tickets... that's not "the way things are".
I would like to know if Meryl Streep would dare call him “God” now?!? 🙄
Izzy Gee I’m pretty sure Meryl Streep knew all about his demented behaviour,she’s been good friends with the man for years. I hate to break it to any Meryl Streep fans out there,but the woman is a complete wrongon !
Victoria Lee I agree ☝🏽
@Richelle Noble-Taitua no she is not. That's the way these predators operate. They have that one person they don't touch, who served as "proof" of their goodness. Think of Michael Jackson and Macaulay Culkin...
Streep is a big mouth moron ! Also way overrated as an actress
@@rafarules6861 I totally agree!!
What a about all the smaller powerful people bosses, doctors, managers who do this. It all needs to be exposed.
Because all doctors, managers, and bosses are sexual predators? That's ridiculous.
It should be exposed if and when it happens; a witch Hunt against anyone who has any resemblance of a powerful position sounds just as ridiculous as what Harvey did.
No you idiot, it's because he is a speck of dust in the bomb of predatory bullshit we are living amongst.
Stacy Lamb I'm not gonna lie I think he's funny what's so wrong with what he does coming out the shower in a robe who cares regular people do what he does
T4r6 Who is?
what about all the single mother whores who rob blind their husbands.
Props to The New Yorker on putting this fucker on blast.
So much respect for Ronan for pursuing this story when his employers tried to get him to shut it down in an attempt to conceal the abuse perpetrated by Weinstein for decades. He is on the right side of history
Everybody gangsta until the women start talkin'
People who say “gangster” are disgusting
DankToastKnifes what?
Tyla Lynn it’s GANGSTA not Gangster that er makes the whole word sound herbish
Sickening that this so called man got away with his horrendous behaviour for so long. Thank you Rose McGowan and all the other women who bought him down
Yeah great job on their behalf. More and more exposing will come around.
Rose McGowan sold her butt for money, she doesn't have credibility.
"Pig in a bathrobe" is a very accurate description of Weinstein.
Oprah Winfrey s best male friend......she knows what he was up to.
Never trust a billionaire
One day her cover is also gonna blow up. She is not what she shows to be.
i thought it was David Geffen?..
go look up who he is (hint: its another "Harvey Weinstein")
There all wankers end of 🤬🤬
I really don't like oprah just listen to her interviews she's disgusting
I am very impressed with Ronan Farrow, brilliant young journalist. Worthy of "Page One".
God Bless Ronan, the New Yorker and everyone who had the bravery to go after the story.
Cosby got prosecuted and this guy is still free....funny
Harvey is a jew and Cosby isn't.
wow
I’m just gonna say one thing, Michael Jackson. Now shut up
Cosby is black not Harvey?
@John Buhl It's their turf
Why da fuck isn't Harvey locked away behind bars yet?
Boys club
Cytron1515 money money money
Because the investigation is ongoing. You can't lock him away until you've got all the evidence and talked to all the women. And this guy is such a high-key predator that there are over 80 women that have accused him. Takes a while to gather all the evidence because he's such a scumbag.
Money money MONEY!!! See; Money!
He's loaded and his clout has afforded him powerful legal aid
The fact that Harvey was so confident speaks volumes about the system within which he worked and girls suffered,
Looking at him makes my skin crawl!! CREEP!
Hiring folks to abuse survivors who talk is common Ronan. I'm so glad you exposed this.
We who live without lawyers hope for justice one day.
"we who live without lawyers hope for justice one day". My God.
“I’m used to that” made me sick!!! It’s because the law allowed that.
Appears to be a very intelligent, astute young man.
A brave man too 👏
Shame is on every one who knew and said or did nothing. SHAME Is a powerful word for a reason.
Preach!!!
How dare they do nothing when that's all they could do against someone with that much power?
how to spot a weak man if he's in a powerful postion he flexes his power or abuse his power
THAOFFCIALFC channel ricegum?
Everyone in power uses or "flexes" their power. That is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of sociopathy at most, and that is not inherently true.
Russell Spears You are on the wrong side of history.
Russel, dude... Harvey is NOT the person you want to use to cross an idea. I understand you said and i agree with you 100%. BUT, Harvey is obviously someone who has done what he has been accused of. Dozens of women have come forward. There was recording and hundreds of people have said the same thing about him. I know, just because a bunch of people say something then it does not mean it's true but the Harvey's case is closed. WHat he is accused off is true and there are many evidence that support the fact.(not talking about people saying it). I believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty but Harvey is obviously guilty. This Metoo movement is good but at the same time , very scary cuz one false accusation could ruin a person's career and it's scary.
Another thing is, just because these women went into him willing and should take the responsibility of their action, it does not excuse what he did. They are both at wrong but more so the person who is abusing his power, using a person's ambition and naivety to prey on them.
I don't think i'd bring much to the table. I already said everything i have to say. English isn't my first language so i'd make a fool out of myself anyway :D
Courtney love : if Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the four seasons, don't go.. 😂
We should have listened to her. Even she knew.
What is there to laugh about??? Do you think this is funny???
We literally just watched this
@@dishadogra4233 yup because she a dirty pig her self😖😖🗣️🗣️🗣️😂😂✌️😬

Oink vey
He is a jew

What an amazing and intelligent journalist.
"What goes up must come down" ~Newton
Ordinary man forgets to turn in cell phone in court, gets 12 years after traffic stop. Harvey Weinstein gets admonished verbally for open texting in court.
Aside from the whole Weinstein story itself... It's really rare to see the child of a celebrity actually having a great career! It always seemed like the kids of celebs all benefited from nepotism. But thats definetly not the case with Ronan Farrow.
Mia's other kids did pretty well for themselves too
I'm pretty sure corey feldman was first to tell everyone about the things that happen in hollywood but nobody mentions him
I don't recall Corey ever name dropping though.
Komfy Koala he finally did reveal the names...however they were low level players and no one seemed
to care.
Anthony Edwards named director Gary Goddard as having molested him as a child actor, but it didn't get any press.
and he was shunned
I want to see dozens and dozens more of these monsters prosecuted.
Good for those ladies. I wish them all luck!
Good job Ronan, keep it up!
Just get it over with and vote him into congress.
Daniel Danielsen : I now right what do we have to lose.
Daniel Danielsen lol now that's a great comment.
THE CASTING COUCH HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE!!!
Ronan had to have incredible courage and strength to fight through all the hurdles to get this story out. A brave man ...not afraid of the power system nor it's ramifications - this story should have been out 10- 15 or more years ago. Tell him he's not Frank's son. Just saying!
Thank you Ronan for starting a global revolution to get respect back
*Backstory: He did something to anger the elites who have shielded him this whole time, so the media was turned against him and celebrities were given the go-ahead to talk...*
GarageStudio This
Yes!
What's caused this inference?
@@ayandak47 I believe its something to do with Harvey backing the Jay z project about a black guy that got murderednor wrongfully imprissoned by police.. For ko reason.. In a nutshell racism
All these actors that knew and said nothing because they cared more about their bank accounts than justice and morality.
They forget about R Kelly... I'm just saying
Ronan is totally frank sinatras kid lol i can’t help but see him and mia in Ronan’s face. He is smart as a whip too. Good on you Ronan!
Absolutely his son! He looks just like his father
Yes!!! He is a perfect blend of Mia and Sinatra. There's nothing in his features that looks like Woody at all.
J.London oh my goodness u know! Absolutely Sinatra.
You're so clueless, better take a look at photo of Sinatra when he was young and skinny and the resemblance is undeniable.
And people yell from behind screen at the actors that didn't 'come forward' or stopped him, or denounced him. If law enforcement was not even advancing these cases, think about it, how likely would you be to stick your neck out and lose your career, your reputation? In the end it was a wave of brave women that finally broke the 'untouchable' wall - but it needed the right social atmosphere to gain traction.
Very well said
BASICALLY EVERY SINGLE "BIG SHOT" KNEW ABOUT HARVEY and yet they're saying "I'm surprised ..."
I still don't know how Winestein's cover fell apart..
Did I miss that part in the video?
thinkingofyou67 there's a really interesting doc about the whole thing on Hulu!
true how did this even start ?
I was not even watching video, I was enjoying comments 🙃
"Finally, one story after another piling on, has let people understand that they can speak and that there's strength in numbers."
the audio recording just amplifies it so much
This guy is repulsive. I feel so sorry for these women who were duped by this guy. Wish he gets a long jail time for destroying these women's lives.
The TRUTH WILL ALWAYS COME 2 LIGHT.
That is not Woody Allen's son. Clearly Frank Sinatra is his real father look at how handsome he is and classy he behaves. Awesome guy!
@Arty Bookworm I think the father is neither Allen nor Sinatra...
Sometimes a child doesn't resemble either parent. They can take after a grandparent or any other relative.
Weinstein's recording sounds so creepily like the orange guy. But this moment is also game over for sexual predators who want to be president.
valar Too people who have gone through something like this it's all too familiar.
sorry, who does it sound like?
valar ...Voldemort?
Trump. If you showed people transcripts of their conversations but switched the names, it could be the same guy.
What?
Excellent. Please make this a series.
I'm listening to the book on Audible and Ronan does a great job putting the listener or reader in the rooms where the events take place.
Bravo to Ronan for explodimg this shit bomb
Ronan Farrow what a guy. So clever and eloquent.
Well for going to college are practically 11 or 15 he should be he’s Doogie Howser lol
Well done. Thank you.
I am so proud of Ronan for speaking out about this. Thank you for standing by the truth and speaking out against powerful evils.

The cover up reminds me of jimmy saville and the bbc, same old story of high powered manipulation and miscourse of justice
I remember when he was exposed in the 1970s. Yet some people out there still cover up his acts/defend him.
It's all known since months, so why is that guy not in prison YET??
