"Army of spies"
You can't make this stuff up:Harvey Weinstein reportedly employed former members of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, in the service of trying to dig up dirt on Rose McGowan and other women that have accused him of sexual crimes. Mossad is permitted by its government to act outside of the constitutional laws of that state. Among its activities since its founding in 1949, it was given the contract of tracking down the three surviving Palestinian terrorists from the Munich Olympics and with finding fugitive Nazis. The latter venture was largely a failure as the secret organization trampled upon the sovereignty rights of multiple states.
Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak says he was the person that introduced the Hollywood mogul to a group of these former spies that comprised a private security agency called Black Cube. The New Yorker magazine claims that one of these agents secretly recorded McGowan's statements while pretending to be a women's rights advocate. They compiled personal, psychological, and sexual profiles on dozens of people that worked for the Weinstein Company and that had also made claims of abuse against Weinstein. My boss sucks too. She's rarely brings in bagels.
The reporter that wrote this story in the New Yorker-- an absolutely extraordinary piece of journalism-- is Mia Farrow's son and rumored to be the love child of Frank Sinatra, to whom he bears a shocking physical resemblance.
I'm telling you, the power elite in Hollywood can match that of Washington D.C. for any and all of hubris, criminality, and corruption. For sure though they have more imaginative script writers.

During the shooting of Yankee Doodle Dandy in 1942, Jimmy Cagney's co-star Joan Leslie turned 17 years old. The studio had a birthday party for her on set. Jack Warner called in the newsreel cameras and Leslie, the industry's new "girl next door" on screen was presented by her boss with a new car. Warner shook hands with his young ingenue before the cameras, left the set, an assistant took the car keys, and Leslie never saw the car again.
Hollywood.
