Janice Min: It Was the Fear of Weinstein’s Power and Reprisals that Kept Hollywood in Fear

RUSH EXCERPT:
MIN: "Yes, I think that — you know, one of the things that was so stunning to me in “The New York Times” story when they unearthed all of this was how relatively small the payments were to the women. Maybe I think — I think the highest one was around $100,000. But for that price and I’m not saying that’s not a large amount of money but for that — for that price, they were able to buy the silence of scores and scores of women for sometimes decades. And it was really the fear of Weinstein’s power and reprisals and what he could do to you if you — if you broke that agreement, that kept the town in fear."
