Emails and other sealed documents of Harvey Weinstein's reveal the desperate lengths he went to after sexual abuse and rape allegations first surfaced against him.
Though Anson ultimately decided not to conduct an investigation on behalf of Weinstein, he did receive emails from Weinstein himself and his attorney. One document Anson received was a “red flag list,” which contained names and information about the people Weinstein thought would talk to the media about his sordid history of abuse.
Harvey's email to Apple's Tim Cook and Eddy Cue: "If I have support from someone like you getting me going into treatment and having the shot at a second chance ."Once the allegations became public and increased in number and fervor — igniting the #MeToo movement — Weinstein became desperate. The unsealed documents show he reached out to many of his wealthy and powerful acquaintances for help, urging them to write open letters and public statements on his behalf.
