Revisiting Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s 2017 Weinstein Investigation: A Closer Look at the Reporting That Shaped #MeToo
The New York Times’ 2017 investigation into Harvey Weinstein by reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey has been credited with launching the modern wave of the #MeToo movement, reshaping conversations around sexual misconduct. Their Weinstein coverage was widely praised for exposing alleged abuses. However, a closer examination of the foundations of Kantor and Twohey’s reporting reveals a number of journalistic weaknesses.
Seven elements of Kantor and Twohey’s original 2017 reporting raise concerns: (1) their shift from traditional “He Said, She Said” balance to a subjective “She Said” model; (2) their reclassification of sexual harassment to include legal but uncomfortable encounters like bad dates, verbal comments, and unreciprocated romantic/sexual overtures; (3) their failure to produce solid evidence that any Weinstein accuser lost work due to rebuffing Weinstein’s sexual advances; (4) little corroboration of some sexual misconduct accusers’ overall claims in their Weinstein investigation; (5) their mischaracterization of Weinstein’s financial settlements as admissions of guilt; (6) a departure from journalistic impartiality in their sexual misconduct reporting; and (7) their She Said reporting indirectly leading to hundreds of men losing their jobs and reputations.
These elements warrant renewed scrutiny, especially following the 2024 reversal of Weinstein’s New York conviction. Also, Twohey’s direct role in the Times’ subjective Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni coverage also generates serious doubts about She Said reporting.
A Shift From Objective “He Said, She Said” Journalism to Subjective “She Said” Reporting
In 2017, Kantor and Twohey launched a five-month investigation into Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct. They described a pattern of romantic/sexual pursuits by Weinstein, drawing from interviews with actors and former employees. Their reporting galvanized a wave of similar accusations against other men in various industries.
However, the underlying evidence was much more nuanced. None of the ten women featured in their October 2017 reporting—Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Laura Madden, Zelda Perkins, Rowena Chiu, Emily Nestor, Ambra Battilana, Lauren O’Connor, and an anonymous woman in 1990—lost employment or career opportunities after rebuffing Weinstein. This is significant because legal definitions of sexual harassment under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act require that workplace discrimination result in adverse consequences.
While some women described verbal come-ons or uncomfortable meetings, the record shows no retaliation. Paltrow went on to star in eight Weinstein-produced films. Judd appeared in two. Perkins and Chiu, former assistants, were rehired or continued working in adjacent industries after settling with Weinstein. These facts complicate the narrative of widespread sexual misconduct.
The Redefinition of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment, as defined by U.S. law, involves unwanted behavior tied to professional consequences. Kantor and Twohey expanded this definition to include bad dates, verbal advances, and consensual exchanges later regretted. They also grouped together markedly distinct behaviors—such as flirtation on one end, and sexual harassment and sexual assault on the other—under one moral frame. Terms like “predator,” “perpetrator,” or “mistreatment of women” were used without journalistic precision.
Kantor and Twohey’s reporting didn’t distinguish between sexual opportunism and sexual harassment. Women who sought to use consensual sexual access as a means of advancement were treated identically to those who alleged retaliation for declined sexual advances. This blurred line contributed to public confusion over what behaviors were illegal, unethical, or simply regrettable.
The distinction matters. Lawmakers, courts, and journalists rely on precise definitions to evaluate claims. By collapsing categories, Kantor and Twohey made it difficult to distinguish between criminality and behavior that, while distasteful, is not illegal.
Lack of Evidence of Lost Jobs or Acting Roles
Central to workplace harassment is the idea of professional harm. Kantor and Twohey did not identify a single accuser who was demonstrably denied a role, promotion, or job for rejecting Weinstein. Their articles present a pattern of personal discomfort and emotional distress—but not professional retaliation.
Leading Hollywood agents—who profit from their clients’ employment—never corroborated claims that Weinstein blackballed actresses. Directors such as Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, James Ivory, and Kevin Smith did not allege any interference in their casting decisions. Only Peter Jackson claimed that Weinstein discouraged casting two actresses, but the film in question was never produced by Weinstein.
Over 81 Oscar wins and 341 Oscar nominations were tied to Weinstein’s production companies, featuring prominent actresses including Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, and Kate Winslet. No evidence exists that any leading female actor was required to engage in sexual activity with Weinstein for roles.
Further complicating the narrative of retaliation are the career trajectories of two of Weinstein’s most public accusers. Gwyneth Paltrow alleged early on that Weinstein made a pass at her during a hotel meeting, which she rejected. Weinstein, for his part, has said he merely asked her for a massage. Despite this encounter, Paltrow went on to appear in eight Weinstein-produced films, became the “First Lady of Miramax” and won an Academy Award for her role in Shakespeare in Love, a Miramax production. These facts directly undercut the notion that Weinstein blackballed women who rejected his advances.
Similarly, Ashley Judd, another prominent accuser, appeared in two Weinstein-backed films after her alleged hotel room encounter: Frida and Crossing Over. Weinstein also reportedly considered her for a role in Good Will Hunting, but actor Matt Damon advocated for casting Minnie Driver. None of Judd’s casting history supports the idea that she faced career reprisals directly attributable to rejecting Weinstein.
Non-corroboration of Sexual Misconduct Accusers’ Overall Claims
The reporting also introduced five women—Laura Madden, Rose McGowan, Rowena Chiu, Ambra Battilana, and an anonymous accuser from 1990—who alleged sexual violence. Upon closer examination, their stories, as presented, did not meet clear legal definitions of sexual assault or rape.
Chiu and Perkins both received financial settlements after an alleged hotel incident. Yet Perkins later clarified that Weinstein never assaulted her physically, and Chiu accepted a job in another Weinstein office within a year. McGowan claimed a non-consensual encounter in a hot tub but later posed in smiling photos with Weinstein. Battilana’s claim resulted in a police sting but no charges.
Kantor and Twohey did not verify whether McGowan made a publicized donation from her settlement as claimed. They also did not corroborate Judd’s assertion that she lost roles due to Weinstein’s retaliation—something her own agent did not confirm.
The Nature of Weinstein’s Financial Settlements
Weinstein reached at least seven financial settlements with accusers. These agreements did not include admissions of guilt by Weinstein and often contained confidentiality clauses. Kantor and Twohey portrayed them as hush money paid to conceal criminal behavior from becoming public. However, the structure of the agreements aligns more closely with standard legal settlements to avoid litigation.
In 1997, Rose McGowan’s lawyer approached Weinstein with a threat of legal action. A $100,000 settlement followed, with language explicitly stating that Weinstein admitted no wrongdoing. Similar structures governed the settlements of Zelda Perkins, Rowena Chiu, Ambra Battilana, and Lauren O’Connor. Kantor and Twohey did not examine whether the settlements reflected strategic legal choices rather than suppressed criminality.
Rejection of Standard Journalistic Tools and Processes in Their Sexual Misconduct Reporting
Kantor and Twohey’s reporting marked a shift from adversarial, fact-checked journalism to what some have called narrative advocacy. Kantor and Twohey declined off-the-record interviews with Weinstein, though they accepted them from all ten of his accusers, including the four who hadn’t signed non-disclosure agreements. This departure from the traditional He Said, She Said format greatly diluted their journalistic objectivity.
Kantor and Twohey’s 2019 book presented claims that were not thoroughly verified. For example, Rose McGowan alleged that she told the actor Ben Affleck and her agent, the late Jill Messick, about her alleged assault by Weinstein. Affleck denied this, but Kantor and Twohey didn’t reconcile this contradiction. Their decision not to resolve inconsistencies raises legitimate concerns.
Kantor and Twohey’s She Said Reporting Indirectly Led to Hundreds of Firings
The impact of Kantor and Twohey’s October 2017 reporting was seismic. Beyond Weinstein, other public figures—Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Kevin Spacey, Al Franken, Louis C.K., and later Andrew Cuomo—subsequently were swiftly removed from public life, often before investigations were complete. Hundreds of men lost jobs and reputations based on unverified accusations alone. While some of these cases involved serious allegations, others were more nuanced. In conflating behaviors across a broad moral spectrum, She Said reporting inspired both justice and overreach.
Toward Restoring Journalistic Impartiality in Sexual Misconduct Journalism
I contacted Kantor and Twohey twice between October, 2024 and March, 2025. Neither responded to any of my list of questions.
Kantor and Twohey’s reporting played an undeniable role in reshaping cultural conversations around gender and power. But cultural importance should not exempt journalism from scrutiny. Objective reporting requires skepticism, verification, and impartiality.
The Weinstein investigation needed clear definitions, rigorous sourcing, and adherence to principles of fairness. Instead, it helped usher in a new model of journalism—Kantor and Twohey’s She Said reporting. As the consequences of this model continue to unfold–including in the ongoing Lively-Baldoni dispute—a more balanced, evidence-based approach to sexual misconduct reporting is urgently needed.
