Harvey Weinstein 'hired former spies to counter sex abuse accusers'

Harvey Weinstein reportedly hired journalists and highly trained ex-spies and military personnel who used fake identities to try to stop accusers from going public with sexual misconduct claims against him.

The news came as the Television Academy, which hands out Emmy Awards, was said to have expelled Weinstein "for life," following a similar move by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which gives out the Oscars.

Among the private security agencies hired by Weinstein starting around autumn 2016, The New Yorker reported, was Black Cube, which is largely run by former officers of Israeli intelligence agencies, including Mossad. Another was corporate intelligence giant Kroll.

Two Black Cube private eyes met with actress Rose McGowan – before she publicly accused Weinstein of raping her – to obtain information.

Gwyneth told the New York Times the incident happened in the mid-'90s. Weinstein had just cast her in a role in the movie "Emma" and she had a meeting scheduled with Weinstein at the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel.
