Very straightforward headlines

"I think it's important to remember the Harvey Weinstein story was crucial not just because of the specifics of this case but because there are Harvey Weinsteins everywhere, because these kinds of abuses of power are endemic, including in a lot of settings where you don't have marquee names to carry it into the headlines."

"Ronan Farrow regrets not challenging Woody Allen sooner"

"I was for many years one of the people around a victim of sexual assault, saying ‘Why bother coming forward more? What will it achieve? It’s just going to bring shame and trouble, and he’s a powerful guy,'” Farrow told Colbert.

As it happens, Farrow’s statement to Colbert isn’t the first time he has admitted his former resistance to his sister coming forward.

In a powerful 2016 guest column for the Hollywood Reporter, “My Father, Woody Allen, and the Danger of Questions Unasked,” the former MSNBC host described how his father’s PR machine 'revved into action' after Dylan decided to write about her experience in a 2014 open letter."
