And [people specifically wanted to hear what she had to say](http://time.com/5070285/meryl-streep-rose-mcgowan-response/), which she acknowledged in an interview with the [New York _Times_](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/us/harvey-weinstein-harassment-allegations.html?%5Fr=0) published Wednesday. ## **Meryl Streep discussed Harvey Weinstein** --- > “” --- Streep worked with Weinstein on acclaimed movies like _The Iron Lady_ in 2012 and _August: Osage County_ in 2013, both of which earned her Academy Award nominations. Weinstein was fired from his own company in October following reports of multiple decades of allegations of sexual harassment from [female actors and employees](http://time.com/4971185/harvey-weinstein-sexual-harassment-women/). Some women alleged that he invited women to his hotel room, asked for massages and, in one case, asked a woman to watch him shower. A lawyer working for Weinstein said in a statement to the _Times_ that Weinstein “denies many of the accusations as patently false.” Streep was one of the first in her industry to join the chorus of actors speaking out about Weinstein. But when it came to Weinstein’s behavior, Streep has a message to deliver in her [statement:](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/meryl-streep-harvey-weinstein%5Fus%5F59db5d87e4b072637c45420e) She didn’t know.

Dear, I don't like hypothetical questions. Well, I don't think you're gonna like a real one either. [ MUSIC ] Do you have the papers? Not yet. [ SOUND ] This is a devastating security breach. That was leaked out of the Pentagon? The most highly classified documents of the war. [ SOUND ] The Times says 7000 pages detailing how the White House has been lying about the Vietnam War for For 30 years. [ SOUND ] The way they lied, those days have to be over. Kay, people are concerned about having a woman in charge of the paper. That she doesn't have the resolve to make the tough choices. Thank you Arthur, for your frankness. Let's do our jobs Find those pages. [ MUSIC ] We're talking about exposing years of government secrets. Is that legal? What is it you think we do here for a living kid. Men I might have something. It must be precious cargo. It's just government secrets. The New York Times was barred from publishing anymore classified documents. Was dealing with the Vietnam War. The new publish won't be in the Supreme Court next week. Meaning. We could all go to prison. To make this decision, to risk her fortune and the company that's been her. My entire life. Well, I think that's brave. If the government wins, the Washington Post will cease to exist. If we don't hold them accountable, who will? You can't hold them accountable if you don't have a newspaper. Nixon will muster the full power of the presidentcy and if there's a was to destroy you, I'll die. and he'll find it I'm asking your advice Bob, not your permission She can't do this, the legacy of the company is at stake what will happen if we don't publish?
