Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators

by Ronan Farrow

The chain of command was now all male, all white:

Blergh 🙄 What else is new?

pretty, pretty

Curb reference?

ringing phones made her heart race.

Relatable

Dawn,

Children of God cult

She was?? WOW.

“I’d done a sex scene,”

So?? 😡

“God damn it, I told him to stop doing this.”

That's not enough, BEN.

she threw up in a trash can.

I know that feeling.

“She does sound a little… flighty,” Greenberg said.

Oh ICK. What does that even mean?

the items about Weinstein were replaced with derogatory ones about Gutierrez.

That's the MO. Such complicity.

Weinstein wanted to set up a business meeting as soon as possible.

"Business meeting" 🙄😠

went to the nearest police station. She remembered arriving, and telling the officers Weinstein’s name,

and one saying, “Again?”

Division,

❗

The NYPD was incensed by the decision—

GOOD. 👏

influence. Former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani was closely involved.

THIS guy AGAIN??

“He still had his mind then.”

Several members of Weinstein’s legal team made donations to

Vance’s campaigns.

Oh look, another total creep

Allen dispatched Abramowitz to the morning shows to smile affably and deny the allegations.

It's like playing whack-a-mole with all these creeps!!

This wasn’t about any one victim; this, for Abramowitz and many other lawyers, was a cottage industry.

imbro...

Great word

Weinstein’s attorney from Giuliani’s firm, Daniel S. Connolly, was trembling visibly

omfg

usurious

I don't understand how this word is being used here.

tort

I look up this word every time I come across it. 😂

“Oh, please, I’m sorry, just come on in,”

I want to hear his tone... Or do I?

“I’m used to that.

Used to what EXACTLY, Mr. Weinstein?

drama

and being late were my great passions.

SAME

the former assistant was just being polite with the comment about Griffin mentioning me, and why I’d be on his radar if he had.

Ro loves to foreshadow.

Lisa Bloom

Gloria Allred's daughter

Another pause.

Um, why the pause...?

Harvey Weinstein’s standard approach to getting people on the phone was to bark their names at the assistants stationed in the anteroom outside his office.

There is nothing not gross about this man.

“It was the nineties, Andy,” Weinstein repeated. This seemed, for Weinstein, an important point of exculpation.

So strange. I mean in a way, I get it. Get it, not excuse it.

“Harvey, say no more. We’ll look into it.”

Better not! 😡

glanced at the notes I’d been taking throughout the call.

Wiked smaht

Hiltzik had let slip a small but useful lead.

Which is....???

Hillary Clinton had finished a greenroom conversation with Weinstein, her old friend and fund-raiser, then stepped onstage to give a speech at Women in the World.

Oh ew, Hills.

that my publisher had finally given up and canceled it, that very week.

That's so sad, must've been devastating for him, but tbh, it sounded boring AF.

Auletta stood, too, “fully prepared to beat the shit out of him.”

YISSSS

deputy head of sustainable and responsible investments.

Well, that's weird.

The Thin Man,

“Who would have Lanny Davis’s number?” He replied, “I don’t know, Pol Pot?”

😂😂😂

My mother shrugged.

I'm like, "What's his mom doing there?" 😂😂

I’d called a comment of hers racist.

Good

moistly,

😂

Black Cube

Finally noticed the graphic in the page is a black cube lol.

The actress let her guard down, just a little.

Oh wtf...is Lynch a Black Cube spy or something??

Then he left the hotel bar and stopped taking her calls.

Smart move

“He was pumping me for what I had heard and learned,” Wallace recalled. Suspicious, he cut ties there, too.

This guy has mad spidey sense. 🕷🕸
