Harvey Weinstein is an even bigger dick than you realize:

“Two private investigators from Black Cube, using false identities, met with the actress Rose McGowan, who eventually publicly accused Weinstein of rape, to extract information from her. One of the investigators pretended to be a women’s-rights advocate and secretly recorded at least four meetings with McGowan. The same operative, using a different false identity and implying that she had an allegation against Weinstein, met twice with a journalist to find out which women were talking to the press. In other cases, journalists directed by Weinstein or the private investigators interviewed women and reported back the details.” In a(nother) great piece of journalism, Ronan Farrow explains how Harvey Weinstein hired private investigators, including ex-Mossad agents, to track actresses and journalists.”

Suddenly realizing that 90% of these guys would survive the hit to their reputation if they announced *first*, “yes, I’ve done some of this, I’m apologizing, and I should have known better, sooner.” Not what you do with a history of criminal activity or legal exposure, but certainly for the “middle ground” of things men could get away with once. I’m sure they’ve completely forgotten *whom* they did this to, but *that* they did it, they know.
