Everyone wondered how Harvey Weinstein allegedly got away with it for so long; Ronan Farrow has some of the answers in 'Catch and Kill,' and they are not pretty, writes critic marymacTV.
NBC denies Farrow allegations that it paid off employees who said they were harassed by fired “Today” host Matt Lauer.
“This is deeply unethical behavior, and it is remarkable to me that she is still a member of the California bar.” Throughout the book, Farrow chronicles his growing suspicion that he was being followed, the email requests that seemed off, the weird weather alerts showing up on his phone and the repeated suggestions that he should arm himself , only to find that this was not a case of self-aggrandizing paranoia. He was being followed and tracked and approached by agents of Black Cube.
“You can imagine,” he adds with a laugh, “going to your editor, as I did, saying, ‘Hi, there’s a secret Israeli spy group staffed by former Mossad agents after me and my sources; they’re called Black Cube.’ The unanimous reaction was: ‘This can’t be true.’ But it really was, it’s all true.”Including the Black Cube mole, called Sleeper1973 , who supplied him with a document trail of requests and reports.
