There’s a scene in the film where Carey is sobbing to her husband, not quite able to articulate what’s wrong. The hope and joy I felt being pregnant had turned to terrifying dread once my daughter was born. MEGAN TWOHEY: When I fielded that first phone call from Jodi, I was in rough shape. So I was holding terrible secrets, and a dawning sense of how big this was, with no path to making any of it public.

Movie stars were confiding in me, sharing upsetting stories-but also saying that coming forward would be unlikely, maybe unthinkable. I was like, Who doesn’t take the clothes? There was something a little guarded about her, a little reticent.Įarly in the Weinstein investigation, I called her for advice. So I brought a bag of maternity clothes to the office for Megan, hand-me-downs from a group of Times colleagues. But I knew that feeling of trying to hold the story with one arm, a new life with the other. Reporters usually keep the focus on our work, and we don’t want to complain. I had been through contentious stories during pregnancy too (an Amazon investigation, published when I was 38 weeks).

The first clue that our investigation into Harvey Weinstein might one day turn into a film came, oddly enough, from the producer himself. Here, Twohey and Kantor take us behind the scenes of their Pulitzer Prize–winning investigation, and its journey to the screen. When the movie opens on November 18th, Twohey’s and Kantor’s personal lives will be on display, alongside the bravery of the victims who talked to them about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual predation.
