She claims this piece was cut from the paper due to both The Weinstein Company’s presence as an advertiser and alleged meddling by major Hollywood players including Matt Damon and Russell Crowe.
It’s been alleged by The Wrap founder Sharon Waxman that she investigated the accusations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein 13 years ago while reporting for The New York Times in 2004.
The latter also deemed the alleged claims about Damon – her co-star in Ridley Scott film The Martian – as “heart shattering.”
But it is unimaginable to me that The Times killed a story because of pressure from Harvey Weinstein, who was and is an advertiser.
