Tina Brown on how fate played out for Harvey Weinstein

In this web exclusive, former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown talks with Tony Dokoupil about her partnership with Harvey Weinstein on the short-lived magazine Talk. She describes the "very persuasive" Weinstein (now the subject of explosive allegations about his sexual misconduct with a large number of women over many years) and how the relationship resulted in PTSD.

This woman has no morals whatsoever. It's all about HER. She has no scruples. She knew all about Harvey, she didn't give a crap.

[@anthonyrobertson6143]

I loved seeing the camera guy in the background operating the equipment a few times.

[@debrajenkins1655]

This man is deeply disturbed and it is a shame that he was not stopped and given the therapeutic intervention he needed before it came to this point. He must have exhibited a personality disorder at a young age. Didn't anyone see it?

[@jainamaden156]

Don't blame this on people with psychiatric disorders. Mankind isn't good. We have good sides more or less. That's why we have laws, justice systems and try to instill morals. Men now describe that no adult stopped them, whem they as boys sexually harassed girls.

[@andrewnicholas4951]

his lust got him bust his greed will make him bleed his power ,past its final hour

[@maryshaffer8474]

He could have stopped himself but he refused.

[@gardensofthegods]

In the last minute or two she explains that really well

[@waynedent5559]

It is difficult to understand how wonderful stories come from such bad people.

[@waynedent5559]

+S_Jay You are so right! Bless you my friend!

[@waynedent5559]

+S_Jay Aaron Spelling is another one. 7th Heaven was such a wonderful show. Yet when you talk about the kingdom's of this world, he had the largest house in Los Angeles +123 rooms. Why would anyone want that big of a house?

[@sisterpacifica]

He just bank rolled other people’s idea & talents. He was NOT an artist except maybe in the lying department!

[@catherine5628]

They say that Karma is a b****. Harvey was the instigator of his own downfall.

[@gardensofthegods]

A number of people who knew him and his brother as well as his parents say that they were scared to death of their mother and that they could never seem to do anything to please her... I thinking Harvey's case it does go back to his mother because they said she bullied him and I think somehow he internalized it but also saw how bullying can get what you want.

[@davanmani556]

She is lying. She gives hint. She knew.

[@t.r.1457]

I think everyone around him who worked for and with him knew.

[@smartcatcollarproject5699]

There is a lot of "solidarity" in the community...

[@sealisa1398]

Amazing what some people are willing to tolerate for fame and fortune. Shocking - my bum.

[@sisterpacifica]

EVERYBODY knew. I promise.

[@sisterpacifica]

Smart Cat Collar Project Because so many knew & in a way - large or small - enabled him.

[@Crewelperleology]

"Everybody knew that Harvey was obviously susceptible to glamourous women." Hmm...HE was susceptible to the women? Did the women have some sort of power over him? Poor Harvey.

[@louise-yo7kz]

Crewel Perle lol

[@kaycox5555]

Smart lady!! "THE CITIZEN KANE OF FALLS," great way to describe that tyrant...

[@stevenwilliambaylessparks3730]

Tina Brown, more than anyone else, has dumbed down American , literary magazines. She's focused on conglomerate tie-ins instead of on good writing.

[@sisterpacifica]

Are we supposed to forgive/let her off because she claimed to have PTSD?

[@oak4901]

We are learning once again what we knew all along...there is a female-male interaction which inevitably ends in a sexual involvement of a sort. Males are generally ready for such an interaction. Females denote their readiness by body posture, odor, movement, dress, speech, and likely other more subtle indicators. Now many women jump the gun and prepare for the man of their CHOICE but expose many other men to the allure of their makeup, perfume (including pheromones), provocative dress, and even gestures. Now of course men should have the control to prevent them overriding a negative response from a women so armored with sexual innuendo; but with difficulty, right? So here is the answer: when with any male, have a friend with you if you do not intend to prostitute yourself for a movie part for instance. Mae West had a wrestler with her for an audition. She told the producer that whatever he would do to her, her bodyguard would do to him... Now the second thing is to downsize your sexuality. You don't have to be "ready" in all signalling methods whenever in public. Save it for a special occasion. Save yourself from potential victimizing from the few males who do not have the control necessary when confronted with overt sexuality.

[@oak4901]

Hi Jaina; you interpret my anecdote of a smart lady to mean all women should follow suit. Not at all but if there is the thought in your female mind that a sexual event may happen, then DON'T GO or take a friend. Unfortunately so many of the recent accusations have happened many times to the same women in the same circumstances, not necessary. Sorry about your friends, not good. Unusual circumstance and not the norm. The article is about women so of course I did not address the problem of male rapee's. Women are in charge of the event as a normal course, so the idea of male dress is not of import. If the female appears ready for a sexual event then that aggrevates the issue since she has made the first advance towards sexuality. I am not advocating Amish or Muslim attitudes, but hey, rhinestones on the posterior only direct the gaze there don't they?

[@jainamaden156]

I agree to not go alone. But women are not in charge of the event in general, if you mean sex. Men have the most influential positions and have the most wealth in the world. You're still blaming women, appearing ready for sex. As I wrote women military is being raped to in the same clothes as men. The S/M community can handle sex, they say they talk about it and communicate during. Men dress in sexual ways too and women who don't like to dress in skirts or wear make-up also got criticism. I think in a work place more neutral clothes should be worn by everyone, not meaning amish either.

[@oak4901]

beyond semantics, I think we agree on most points. I believe that men in general have not been schooled in this country to view women as protectee's. Now that is against the premises of feminism, but in the early part of the formation of this great country, a man who would strike a woman (or anything else to harm her) was a "dastard" and expelled from polite society. No longer. Look at the High School boys clubs with BJ cards. We need something different in our treatment of each other.

[@cutzymccall7675]

"Talk" was a fantastic magazine. Too bad about everything.

[@rogerkomula8057]

I hated her commercials for Talk. She was so smarmy.
