In October of last year, the New York Post reported Farrow was working on another Harvey Weinstein bombshell.
New York Post reported:
We’re told that Farrow’s making calls to potential sources for another New Yorker article to follow his blockbuster exposé on sexual harassment claims against the movie mogul.
“[Ronan] is hot right now and he wants to capitalize on the momentum of the first article. He seems impatient to get another piece out ASAP,” a source told us. “He’s speaking to former Weinstein employees and telling them he’s on ‘a tight deadline.’ ”
The insider said the piece may focus on the movie company’s culture, which allowed Weinstein to prey on women for years.
