'Don't anger the monster', part 2
Rowena Chiu was kept silent for 20 years by former film boss Harvey Weinstein. Rowena thought that speaking up about her alleged sexual assault by Weinstein would end up with him in court. But instead she was pressured into signing an NDA so severe that she could tell no one, at times even fearing for her safety. Keeping this secret sent Rowena to a very dark place. But decades later the #MeToo movement set her free. This episode contains references to suicide. The news archive is from NBC and ABC Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Rebecca Vincent
