My best guess is that they chose to focus on the victims themselves. Farrow's (excellent) article was a deciding factor in making the conversation as massive as it is now, but I can understand why they chose to dedicate the cover to the people who were themselves harrassed/abused. True, but they also kept out Anthony Rapp, whose interview pretty much took what were already shockwaves and made it into a tsunami. Hmm, I don't know about that. Maybe he wasn't willing to participate? I know Terry Crews was part of the photoshoot, there are pictures and quotes from him in the article.

Ronan Farrow should be on that cover too ! After all , he was the whistleblower . Yeah, why isn't Ronan Farrow on that cover? Yes , that man did such a phenomenal job . Absolutely groundbreaking .He did the massive investigative reporting on Weinstein and pushed to get his findings published even when his network didn't even want to hear anything about it.He exposed an enormously powerful man whose years of sexual deviancy killed the careers and altered the lives of dozens of women all while that man amassed more power under the protection of Hollywood and the political class.If Weinstein hadn't gone down, none of these other dominoes in Hollyweird would have fallen.

My question is about ashley. Didn't she sit on info for years? I'm not sure I'd paint it that way. Weinstein had such a tight system of people protecting him and making sure his victims could never bring this to light that it's unfair to point fingers at Judd (or anyone else who has come forward) for not doing anything about it sooner. I don't think anyone would have the right to demand that they do this on any schedule but their own. Just look at Rose McGowan. She hasn't been sitting on any info in the last few years, and all she got for trying to expose this was ridicule and blacklisting.

I'm glad Terry blasted his ass.

I understand that it can be hard cause nobody wants to be blacklisted but if that is what happens so be it. I was once told that not to say something for same exact reason and i.did it anyway. I didn't care about myself, I cared about the truth and making sure others knew. Sometimes you have to take bullet and your bravery will pay off.

I'm sure that's the way Farrow would have wanted it, too. Yeah, I doubt Farrow would have even been on the cover if they asked. He seems well aware the story is not about him, he was just doing what he could to make sure these women breaking their silence would be heard. That's probably true. It's just something I wouldn't have minded seeing since he came through HUGE as a silence breaker and was persistent in breaking his story in the face of hurdles and threats from powerful people. I so admire people like that, but now that I picture it, he might have looked a little out of place with all victims.
