Lauren O'Connor, a former Weinstein Co. employee, explains why she wrote the damning company memo about Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct.
In an interview for an upcoming episode of life coach and author Mike Bayer’s podcast, O’Connor explains that she had to do something because she, too, is a survivor of sexual assault.An earlier version of this story incorrectly spelled Lauren O’Connor’s name as O’Conner.
“As someone who, years prior at 23, had been assaulted myself and didn’t feel that I could speak for myself, I also wouldn’t have been able to look in the mirror the next day if I hadn’t tried to do something,” O’Connor said in an excerpt of the interview, recalling when a young woman confided in her about being “violated” by Weinstein.O’Connor, who was formerly a literary scout for the Weinstein Co., wrote the 2015 company memo that accused Weinstein of abusing his power to assault women.
