It was a much bigger deal then than it is now.
But I started getting calls from Paula who said, Richard is reporting this out and Miramax is framing this as you somehow having attacked, gone in and been the aggressor on this.
You've got to do something about this.
My mind was blown.
I was like, how could they possibly, how could they
possibly frame this as us being the aggressors in this situation and you know in the post Trump it's sort of easy to understand how stuff like this happens then it wasn't quite so easy but I think at that point I realized after having done nothing that my only defense was to actually get it on record and so I went to the to the nearest police precinct and said I want to report that I was attacked last night by Harvey Weinstein and
They did not arrest him, but he was aware that I'd filed a police report, which changed things, I think, from the Miramax perspective considerably when they got wind of this.
And that was my only defense because I was told I couldn't talk to the press.
As a youngster, my takeaway was I thought that I was in a business, the media, which valued scoop, which valued news.
Now, I don't think that I was under the illusion that it valued truth, but I was under the – that a great scoop like this would trump any other factors.
And what I didn't realize was the raw power that he wielded trumped any of the news interest that anybody would actually have in the real story.
That he had enough money to spread around, enough people well-positioned enough to bury it.
Police don't do anything.
Absolutely nothing happened.
It made me somewhat, I have to say, I think that probably at that point, I left The Observer not that long after.
I think that it felt like maybe it was time for me to make a transition.
It was time for me to get a new job somewhere else.
My eyes were opened to how power actually works in this town.
I became much more cynical.
That cynicism has remained with me.
