“I don’t know if you’ve talked to Rose McGowan, but we have files on her and her sexual history,” Bloom told Farrow, according to knowledgeable sources inside and outside NBC.

Bloom was referring to the star of the 1996 Weinstein-produced hit horror movie Scream, who had indeed given Farrow an on-camera interview (and later withdrew her participation out of fear of being sued for violating a non-disclosure agreement that had come with a $100,000 settlement from Weinstein); since then McGowan has alleged publicly that the movie mogul raped her at the Sundance Film Festival in 1997.

Bloom, citing attorney-client privilege, declined to comment on her interactions with Farrow on behalf of Weinstein.
