As the person who broke the Roy Price story after being threatened and lied about for months by his lawyers–Harvey’s lawyers, Lisa Bloom (see my pinned tweet)–I have some thoughts... https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-11-23/amazon-studios-roy-price-sexual-harassment-responds-me-too

First, I have read that @latimes underwent significant layoffs and I ask: Why choose to use limited resources to traumatize a victim? I have heard about this story from Isa for months and yes, she was traumatized.

Second, I will pass along one reaction from one of my (male) sources who was a very reluctant to be a source but was so disgusted by Price’s conduct that he decided it was imperative: “The LA Times should be burned to the ground.“

The victims may not be the only ones traumatized by misconduct.

So, is Price some kind of “get”? He denies the conduct and Hackett must re-live an awful experience that had her sick with worry about the impact of going public on herself, her family, her cast and crew?
Interesting use of resources.
By the way, @latimes never called me.

Somehow I left out Charles Harder here. He and Lisa Bloom repped Price at the same time they were trying to shield Weinstein. As Price and Weinstein were buddies who scratched each other’s backs, I suspect Harvey recommended them. For more:

Note that the LA Times has acknowledged its own issues with unchecked harassment and bias.
So who assigned or approved this? Seems the paper has more work to do.

One more thought: the LA Times was tipped to the misconduct of former Garcetti aide Rick Jacobs weeks before @yashar broke the story. Couldn’t get that story but spent weeks on this? What is going on in that place?
