“I’ve avoided commenting on the specifics of NBC’s role in the Weinstein story to keep the focus on the women and their allegations. But executives there have now produced a memo that contains numerous false or misleading statements,” Farrow wrote. “So I’ll say briefly: their list of sources is incomplete and omits women who were either identified in the NBC story or offered to be. The suggestion to take the story to another outlet was first raised by NBC, not me. and I took them up on it only after it became clear that I was being blocked from further we reporting. The story was twice cleared and deemed “reportable” by legal and standards only to be blocked by executives who refused to ally us to seek comment from Harvey Weinstein.”
Farrow went on to say that he “loved” his time at NBC and praised the “talented, dedicated journalists” who work there.
