NY Times article on Bwy Sex Abusers

[troynow]

At one pont during the holiday season, a rweet went out from Michael Paulson asking for help, tips,stories of the abuse of power within the broadway community.! Many people answered that call.

Many rumors surfaced of who was on the list, what would be the consequences. Would it stop shows or shut them down, result in firings etc...

Now nothing!

Does anyone else know what happended?!???

I heard from a source that the article is delayed as more people keep coming forward with their stories. The initial rumor made people aware of the upcoming article so that initiated a new flow of people speaking up, including 2 actor friends of mine who simply contacted TNYT abc had their stories heard.

I heard there was legal pushback, since some of those named are currently involved in some upcoming high profile productions.

That didn't stop them from publishing about Weinstein, who was a very powerful Hollywood producer.

That comment was deleted rather quickly......

I knew it would be!  Also, I might need to request a username change soon.  Is that a thing?

It was pulled for legal reasons.

A shame these men will be allowed to continue getting away with this. From what I understand, they're big names in the industry. It's time to give some new people a shot who aren't gross.

Whose power had been waning. Blood was in the water and if the Times didn't publish, then Farrow's piece would've hit.

If this is all true and the NYT isn't publishing it, I hope people come forward with their stories another way and ASAP 

[Kad]

Me too, but I think it's safe to say that BWW won't be the venue.

Relax, it takes time to gather that many torches and pitchforks!

Initially I think it was speculated that there wasn’t any actors on the list. I wonder if information has been gathered about some know ? That’s in addition to Spacey ( if he counts as a “ Broadway person” since he’s more famous for film).
