Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

Girl on Girl Rape, She Reveals

Timothy Heller: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

 

I saw Timothy Heller on tour with Pinegrove.

 

The top editor for the National Enquirer, Us Weekly and other major gossip publications openly described his sexual partners in the newsroom, discussed female employees’ sex lives and forced women to watch or listen to pornographic material, former employees told The Associated Press.

AP Exclusive: Top gossip editor accused of sexual misconduct

 

I laughed out loud when they felt the need to define "dildo." Never change, AP.

 

That was for Amish readers.

 

But were they hallucinogenic dildos?

 

60 Minutes wasn’t the enlightened work place you would imagine a place populated by so many liberals would be.

 

A little something for @The Big Ragu
Finance titan Sam Isaly harassed women for years, former employees said

NEW YORK — The founder of biotech’s largest and most powerful hedge fund has for years perpetuated a toxic culture of sexual harassment, former employees told STAT, routinely subjecting young female assistants to pornography in the workplace, lewd jokes, and pervasive sexist comments.

Five people who once worked at investing giant OrbiMed Advisors said Sam Isaly, the firm’s 72-year-old managing partner, kept a set of breast implants on his desk, palpating them like stress balls during idle conversation. He wantonly demeaned and verbally abused female employees, they said.

 

The Times isn’t letting go of this story.

The powerful agents who knew and did nothing.

 

Agents and managers across Hollywood, who wanted in on Mr. Weinstein’s star-making films, sent actresses to meet him alone at hotels and advised them to stay quiet when things went wrong. “That’s just Harvey being Harvey,” more than one agent told a client. At C.A.A., for example, at least eight talent agents were told that Mr. Weinstein had harassed or menaced female clients, but agents there continued to arrange private meetings. Even Nick Wechsler, a talent manager at another firm who confronted Mr. Weinstein about Ms. McGowan, felt he had to maintain business ties with him: “Sometimes he was the only game in town.”

 

Bezos sought advice from an expert.

@typefitter must be impressed. Wonder how the WaPo got beat on this scoop.

Two days later, Jeff Bezos, founder and chief executive of Amazon, interrupted a vacation in Hawaii to field advice from Mr. Weinstein, according to the emails. The Wall Street Journal was reporting on turmoil at Amazon Studios, one of Mr. Weinstein’s business partners. He recommended an aggressive response that involved hiring some of his own team, including a libel lawyer who “makes sure everyone sticks to the right narrative,” Mr. Weinstein wrote. He added, “I’m happy to coordinate with whoever you’d like, as a friend of the court.” Mr. Bezos declined to comment.

 

I must have missed it, because there’s no way I’m beating a couple of our most prominent posters to this one.
