Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators is a 2019

book by American journalist Ronan Farrow. He recounts the challenges he

faced chasing the stories of Harvey Weinstein's decades of alleged rape,

sexual assault, and sexual abuse of women, and the case against him. Farrow

argues that Weinstein was able to use Black Cube, a private Israeli

intelligence service, to successfully pressure executives at NBC News to

kill the story there, leading him to take it to The New Yorker, where it was

published and helped spark the international #MeToo movement exposing sexual

abuse of women in many industries.



The title refers to the practice of catch and kill, in which disreputable

media companies purchase stories so that they can bury them. The book is

published by Little, Brown and Company. And, according to Farrow, "was

exhaustively vetted by Sean Lavery, a senior fact checker at The New

Yorker".


In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a

story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a

predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow

drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to

elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation,

threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account

of abuse in his own family.
