Hero!!! Thank you Ronan for real courage under Fire. 🔥🔥🔥
I love Ronan Farrow. So courageous &respectful &sympathetic toward the victims
He is our 21at century hero. His dad the top singer of the 20th century.
He's good.
He’s truly a hero to many victims out there!
It’s so great that he won the Pulitzer. Gives him the credibility and frankly protection he needs at a time like this.
He’s so freaking good. Just so good.
Ronan is exposing the gang stalking program. Thank you for speaking for so many who don’t have reporters who can publicly expose our suffering!
Thats so true. Thank you Ronan
Ronan is brave and so articulate
This sexual pressure is not only in journalism, Ronan. It is and has been endemic in the workplace. Many men consider it part of the work agreement.
Madeleine you miss the point. He is not saying this is the only sexual pressure. He is pointing out high level coverups and threats against his life by powerful people.
Yes every job " " I ever had every man wanted sex. The job was a euphemism for sex.
nonsense
That is what he has been saying.
it still shocks me how ineffective the American intelligence agencies have become.
Who got the head of Isis? Our people ! Wise up
Our US intelligence agencies are covering up for the pedophiles in the swamp in DC. A large part of the reason they want Trump out of office
Ronan is so brave and smart!
The guy kinda has a Frank Sinatra feel to his face. Striking individual.
it kind of scares me?? haha
The spawn of Sinatra and Farrow, what a beautiful human. He obviously has first hand experience with this! When your beautiful mother watches her husband marry their adopted daughter, as a son, you're going to be affected by this in a huge way! Bravo Ronan!
Thank you for the information great job we need more people like you.God bless
I REALLY admire Ronan Farrow!
Watch your back Ronan..be careful, you're not in Kansas anymore
Is that a threat to him?
Great Job, Ronan*
Based on the thumbnail I thought it was Kate McKinnon for a Split Second LOL
Ronan ❤️👏🏻
So thankful there are brave souls left!
Proud of you, Ronan! God bless you and continue to empower you! Righteousness reign!!!
Thank God we still have some courageous, brilliant investigative journalists in the modern world and some decent media companies who will employ them. Those who still want the truth and believe we need decent societies. These are the people who keep democracy as a possibility.
I wonder when the film will come out
The man has what a lot of leaders in this country don't have - DIGNITY. His mother, Mia Farrow raised all her children this way. She put together a wonderful family. Not perfect, but loving and supportive. I hope Writes short stories about his home and growing up.
Amazing how everyone voices get really emotional about this subject matter towards the end of this clip.
THANK YOU to the female anchor for bringing the topic back around since it was OBVIOUS the male anchor couldn't wait for the opening to bring up Trump...
You mean Trump who always cheats on his wife (all 3 of them) 😆!
Every one must stand up for the truth and gender equality.
I agree but not a witch hunt of men and burning to the stake .
Strait Arrow well if they do something wrong, the right precautions should be followed through
It’s not a witch hunt unless the allegations are untrue.
@@lindseystein9676 ..what are the allegations ?
T McAuliffe they aren’t talking about gender equity. They are talking about a culture where rapist and sexual predators are protected because of their fame and power. Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, Bill OReiley, Matt Lauer to name a few, used their power and position to sexual harass and some even rape women. Tens of millions of dollars was paid out to shut the women up along with forcing them to sign contracts promising never to talk about it or face legal repercussions
Ronan Farrow is a Hero to many women whose innocent and purity were taken and destroyed by wolves, leaving them bloodied, scared, and confused. Thank you Ronan for bringing healing and strength back into these women's hearts and minds. They deserved to shine brighter and stronger from the viles of dirt.
Ronan is the only courageous journalist out there. Keep giving us truth Ronan!!
i saw the thumbnail and thought this was Mary Cheney LMAO
We all see these types of behavior happen at the workplace all the type. When you mention it or say something, it's like your making something out of nothing, it's really no big deal. It's harmless fun.
It's tragic for the victims.
A great brave journalists
Ronan, you have the most beautiful skin.
Periodistic intergity and investigation professionalism, this are skills they should learn from this man
Lenin Verdezoto Pozo ...this are...?
Guts
Good on Ronan for outing Dirty Weinstein. This would make an incredible film or TV series in the future
He's the spitting image of his father Frank.
TheBrandon425 - with a touch of Mia!
TheBrandon425 he actually looks just like his mother however I do believe he’s Franks son
ThIs is Mia Farrow and Fred Astaire son all I can say is wow he is amazing so eloquent so educated and so freaking intelligent
I believe he’s Frank Sinatra’s offspring!
He's just like his dad.
His actual dad. ;)
He's just like HIMSELF, Ronan
What is that saying...The more things change..the more they stay the same. Shapes shift. Spirit does not.
The male co-anchor should have asked Ronan to summarize the book. I really disrespect the 'news' host is not the story and shouldn't try to steal the guest's thunder. So unprofessional.
"I had to do it, I was ordered to by my boss, it was his idea" This argument only works if you need the job to survive. But this is a high-level corporate executive, a mlllionaire. He didn't need this job hell he doesn't need any job. When something like this happens in your organisation and you are asked to do something corrupt and unethical, if it is within your power survival-wise to quit, you must do so. If you do not, any further pleas on your part about the chain of command etc are just blowing smoke. Ask the Nuremberg defendants. Article IV of the Nuremberg Principles spells it out.
Matt Lauer should have remained faithful to his wife. Or at least asked his adulterous partners what theiy were feeling and discussed their relationship
@Stephen Gleason You don't know that.
Right is a fairy tale
Dalsemien Its easy to imagine after awhile consensual affairs weren’t enough of a thrill for Lauer especially since by all accounts it was all about the power for him.
Brown and beige are not his colours - book is terrific - Just finished it
At the end of the day Woody Allen who is Ronan's biological father molested Dylan Farrow who is Ronan's half sister.
What!?!?!?!?! Nobody is asking the deeper questions--super sad
@O’ honey Thanks for your thoughts
From about :29 to :33 what was that intense look that the female host gave Ronan ? What was that about?
It looks like she's communicating with someone off-screen to me.
David Muse..... David, thank you. Your assumption makes sense. A lot more sense than J LA. I try to be fair minded so listening to all sides makes sense to me.
I think she perceives an axe grinding!!
The dopey host (or whoever briefed him) totally misunderstands Farrow's line about Noah Oppenheim not being the villain of the story. That line is dripping with sarcasm and comes after several paragraphs detailing precisely how Oppenheim was directly responsible, however much he pretended it wasn't his call to stop the story.
Oppenheim literally begs Farrow to publicly say he's not the villain - despite all the evidence to the contrary - so Farrow writes a sarcastic paragraph about how "the system" was to blame, then adds "Noah Oppenheim was not the villain". It's very funny.
So....I very much care about Ronan’s groundbreaking reporting. He’s very talented. But I still look at him and try to discern whether he’s Frank Sinatra’s kid. I can’t help it. 👀
Chelsea Sutton I was looking at a lot of stuff about it I would love to see some footage of frank and Ronan moving he is talking with his hands and that reminds me a tiny bit of woody.
And then someone said look at mai’s dad famous film maker that John Farrow so there are photos on line. And that is who he looks like. Someone else suggested Previn mai’s second husband was actually his dad who I didn’t realize until a few days ago she has 3 biological older son with . But they are all dark and Eastern Europe looking and although there are not a lot of resent photos around as kid they don’t look like Ronan.
So It really could be anyone.
He once said Frank Sinatra could possibly be anyone’s father.
I think he is. He looks nothing like his pig daddy
El Jay so took your advice, and watched woody doing stand up in 1964 and an even less convinced that woody is his dad .
Because my brain was having trouble filtering woody’s appearance for age. But he is so ugly when he was young. Now he just looks like an old man.
I looked up pictures of Mia’s Dad he looks lot like him
I wonder if he's nervous for his safety ..
I heard his dad Sinatra had some serious mob protection back in the day so I think he’s fine. 😊
Ronan Farrow is a hero and so are all the women and men who come forward against the rapist and sexual predators. I hope Ronan looks into Fox News next, those misogynistic abusers need to be taken down. Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Ronan, is so well spoken I love to hear him talk..... Lol he honestly you can tell he is very well educated , and a great reporter... My respect and thank you for bringing these people to be made accountable for the burden they lay on children and women ...... I don't understand how this man could get away with shit like that for years... Then you have a innocent man , that has been proven to be innocent by the F B I innocent buy by a court and INNOCENT by C P S ..... I'm talking about Michael Jackson 10 years after his death and idiots are still trying to get his money and ruin his well deserved legacy? And Oprah Harvey's " friend" give those two idiots a platform to lie .... This is so disturbing in maney ways....
Harvey was respectful when I pitched him a film deal. But I'm not a hot Barbie Doll babe. Hey Marilyn Monroe used the casting couch to make it. What's wrong with the modern actress?
Frank Sinatra reincarnated. He's a beauty, he's a brain. He's good. He's cool. Brat pack 2019.
The others said we are shocked this happened.Liers .I know one was involved with him.Are these people who work there sleezballs.
Ronan ronan ronan. You might wonder why you were booted from today show. Your not allowed to release personal information. Sexual harassment is considered personal in nature. Do you have pride for what you do?
Same thing again and again,some men just can"t keep it in their pants.
Pigs
This young man is lucky he comes from money reporter Gary Webb was ruined by the large media for the CIA.
If these asshats participated in a cover-up they should be tried as accomplices after the fact. Firing should have already happened. Fuck NBC.
Here because I mistook Ronan’s thumbnail pic for Kate McKinnon and thought this was an SNL skit.
Yes, it was so beautiful important to me.
I find the Matt lauer thing sketchy, she should have blown the whistle
She called her continuing sexual couplings with Matt transactional!! I kid you not!! But now what...transactions of rape?? No wonder no one believes!!
Paul Nu not true! She came forward years ago when it first happened and nothing was done. Matt Lauer knew what he was doing. He would choose the rookie at work and humiliate them knowing full well that they were not going to tell. That is how predators work. Wake up and get with the times!!!!!!! Rape is not just a one time thing. My best friend was raped for years before she was able to tell someone. Sexual predators use intimidation tactics to get you to shut up.
I'm confused is this a male or female?
I don't understand what the book is actually about. Presenter didn't explain it well at all.
Show biz is an ugly business. Some people will do things that they wouldn't ordinarily do to get a leg up in that world. Seduction, coercion and exploitation are fundamental aspects of show business. Things are accepted in that realm that would never be accepted in a normal workplace. It's great that Ronan Farrow and others are throwing light on this dark subject.
Oh please. He's so guilty of it himself it's disgusting.
@@anniefannycharles9951 How do you know that?
Frank jr
Everybody who knew about the misdeeds and their coverup had to be complicit or lose their lucrative jobs. Not an easy position to be placed in.
How he was able to break this story fascinates me. Can’t imagine how this happened to the most powerful man in the business. A friend of the Clinton’s. It’s mind boggling. I’ll have to read this story. Children in the industry are my biggest concern.
Charlie Hunt no such thing as an innocent Billionaire or politician. I think this has been proven over and over.
RONAN FOR PRESIDENT
I don’t trust this guy 🐍
@@keithachrist Irs because people like you don't like the truth. He's speaking fact. That's just fact. He's not gonna lie is he. Maybe you should read the book before you run your mouth. Funny how after he reported Matt Lauer he got sacked.
Vicious and vile men have preyed on me and many other women for millennia. We have to make it stop!
Who is thus guy, Matt Lauer, anyhow? It s over, Matt
Goodbye
Get over yourself.
I lived this book. NBC deserves all the backlash it gets Oppenheimer is a mashoginist whose time has comes.
A question I have about the Me Too movement; If everyone behind the scenes knew the casting couch was open, how many women went onto the couch to buy their way into a part, with their eyes open knowing exactly what they were doing? If rumors are to be believed Marilyn Monroe orally smoothed her path to the top.
sailorbychoice1 Regardless of knowledge of the casting couch is irrelevant. It’s the fact that they were threatened with sex to get that part. Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, and many others used their position of power to manipulate these women. In other words what was said is give me sex or I will blacklist you from every studio in Hollywood or New York. To an up and coming actor, that was essentially death.
Way to completely miss the point. If a woman is told “this is the way it’s always been done and you won’t have a career if you don’t comply” and they choose their career over their dignity, that woman is still a victim and that man is still a sexual predator. Everyone wants to believe that unless a woman is physically held at knifepoint or gunpoint she is in control of her fate and that attitude just perpetuates the patriarchal system of oppression.
@@shpei88 There are many talented people who made it on their own talent.
Many choose to walk away from the scene because _Show business_ has _Never_ been considered _a kind and loving profession._
There are also many who made it because they found an easier way. Sleazier, but easier.
There have always been Weinsteins, before there was a Hollywood there were Weinsteins but only because there were those who were willing to sleep their way to the top.
Show business people throughout history have rarely been known for their moral virtue.
shpei88 I didn’t miss the point however you made mine and I agree. My perception of your original post was that it is essentially the woman’s fault if they are assaulted by a studio executive because they knew this is what’s expected to get that part in a movie or television.
@@noniemac I was a child actor. On stage~ mostly, summer stock level theater, some TV, also played music, consistently working~ regionally. Big Fish in my tiny pond. In show business there are levels of famous. There came a point when several movies that turned out to be quite popular were being cast in my state capital just forty minutes from my house. I was at the point in my career when I needed to grow to the next level or do something else. I got invited to audition several times one year, and it was strongly implied that the casting director became quite friendly to those who liked to do _certain things,_ Being known to be heterosexual only increased the pressure because they liked _breaking in fresh meat._ I walked away from the business, but I know several who chose not to, some took the easy way, some did not~ but succeeded none the less. I find a bit of consolation in seeing that almost all of those who got their parts the wrong way did not sustain their career long.
With all due respect for Ronan he looks so much as Kate McKinnon...
I love how one way or another they want to blame Trump or involve Trump.
And you're defending the piece of s*** for what reason?
Why didn't he write about Epstein?
Julian Assange
He's definitely Frank Sinatra's gay son. just saying.
who cares if he is gay ....????
Who cares who is father is either
Ronan is outting bad people but turned his face at issues closer to home? Is that a double standard?
Terry Novack weird. I thought about the same thing. He does however talk about his sister as a victim.
@@reneepash1286 Where is the book on "daddy" dearest?
Terry Novack you clearly don’t know much about him then. He backs his sister 100% in her allegations against his father and is outspoken about it. He just lets her lead with her own story instead of taking the focus from her. He in no way supports Woody Allen and what he did to their family. He has cut him from his life.
I like Ronan Farrow. Where he went wrong is Kavanaugh.
I’m sorry but I’m not buying any of this Matt Lauer scandal bs. Bottom line, he had a consensual affair with a coworker and when he abruptly ended the affair, she went ballistic! They even continued the affair after Sochi. Lauer may be a creepy pig and a cheating dog but he’s no rapist. TFOH!
Lisa Holte, Your Access To The Red Carpet! Except numerous women came forward not just 1 women. . NBC paid million to shut them up.
Exactly! Ronan Farrow is taking advantage of the current cimate of accuse and slander rather than go through the rule of law. Ruining someones life without due process is an irresponsible thing to do and not what a competent journalist should do. Yes there are victims of abuse of power but a witch hunt is not the way to bring about justice.
Please stop him ruining his beautiful face with fillers!!!! He’s the voice of reason and he’s going to be a mockery if he ends up looking like that tiger face lady...
I will never watch NBC News. They disgust me.
I swear every time i see him, he looks more and more like a guy who is transitioning. If you look at some of his earlier photos, he looks more manly than he does lately. Not that anything is wrong with his decision if he does transition.
Ronan you have more than 15 minutes of fame, now go away!
Ronan Farrow is a Female
Feminine
so?
