Ronan Farrow details Harvey Weinstein investigation in new book excerpt

Ronan Farrow is detailing the scary experiences he faced while investigating the sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein. In a new except from Farrow's upcoming book titled, “Catch and Kill," obtained by the New Yorker, Farrow revealed he was followed by two Russian men who he believed were hired to intimidate him.

“Hiring the agency was only a part of Weinstein’s larger effort to prevent the disclosure of the sexual-abuse claims. He also hired the private-investigation firm co-founded by Jack Palladino, who was best known for working to undermine women who had accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct,” Farrow writes.

The 2018 Pulitzer Prize winner also talked about Weinstein's efforts to spy on the women who accused him of harassment.

“As a part of its work for Weinstein, Palladino’s firm created dossiers on both journalists and accusers. Under the guise of assembling research for a book about his company, Weinstein also hired some of his former employees to compile lists of targets and then contact the people on those lists. The lists included reporters at The New Yorker, the (New York) Times, and New York magazine; the actresses Rose McGowan, Rosanna Arquette, and Annabella Sciorra; and secondary sources who might be able to confirm those women’s stories,” Farrow explained.

"Catch and Kill" is the untold story behind Farrow's investigation of wealthy and powerful men, and the risks that their accusers took in telling the truth.
