As the dominoes surrounding Harvey Weinstein's years of sexual misconduct continue to fall,Uth4 Pat4k (2024) S03 Hindi Web Series Hollywood's leading men are under sharp scrutiny for their responses.
Matt Damon, who essentially owes his career to Weinstein for bringing his feature debut Good Will Huntingto life -- and then the Oscar stage -- responded Tuesday to a report that he helped the producer kill a New York Timesstory that included sexual misconduct allegations in 2004.
Weinstein's impropriety was an open secret in Hollywood, but was finally blown open by reports in the New York Timesand New Yorker. In the middle of the fallout, The WrapEditor-in-Chief Sharon Waxman reported that when she was a Timeswriter in 2004, Damon called her on behalf of Weinstein to help get a story killed.
"For the record, I would never, ever, ever try to kill a story like that," Damon told Deadline. I just wouldn’t do that. It’s not something I would do, for anybody."

As Waxman worked on the story and flew to multiple countries for firsthand accounts, Weinstein tried to stop it – and succeeded at getting the most damning parts taken out.
According to Damon, he and Russell Crowe were enlisted by Weinstein to vouch for Lombardo, but Damon claims to know nothing more than that.
I just remember it being a negative piece, a hit job on Fabrizio, was what Harvey was saying. Basically, that he had no professional experience. Harvey said, you worked with him. Can you tell her that he was a professional and you had a good experience, and that was it. I didn’t mind doing it, because that was all true.
In the interview, Damon emphasizes that he does not condone behavior like Weinstein's and that he did not know what was going on behind closed doors. He brings up his daughters, his fear as a father, and asserts what we'd all like to think – that had he known what was happening, he would have stopped it.
If there was ever an event that I was at and Harvey was doing this kind of thing and I didn’t see it, then I am so deeply sorry, because I would have stopped it. And I will peel my eyes back now, farther than I ever have, to look for this type of behavior.
As of Tuesday, dozens of celebrities had spoken out in support of the women accusing Weinstein, with A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie sharing their own troubled history with him.
The New Yorkerpiece details his harassment with firsthand accounts from the victims, and the film industry must respond to the consequences of abetting Weinstein for as long as it did – and vowing to do better.
