Episode 94: Ken Auletta

He became the bullseye for the Me Too movement. Since 2017, more than 80 women have come forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment or assault. In 2022, the former movie studio mogul was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape. Throughout his career Weinstein was riding high with films like Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting and Shakespeare in Love. So the question is how did Weinstein manage to lead a parallel life that lasted for decades in which he abused women. In his book Hollywood Ending, New Yorker writer Ken Auletta tries to make sense of the culture of silence that prevailed and if the world has changed for women since Harvey Weinstein’s crimes came to light.
