Leaked Emails Suggest Maureen Dowd Promised To Show Sony Exec’s Husband Column Before Publication
Amy Pascal is under fire again due to the leak of her emails by hackers – and this time her husband is involved.
Discovered among the emails released by hackers Guardians of the Peace,Buzzfeed uncovered correspondence between New York Times columnistMaureen Dowd and the Sony Entertainment co-chairman.
The e-mails showed that Pascal’s husband Bernard Weinraub, a former reporter at the Times, said he would read Dowd's column prior to publication.
In the column, published in March after the Academy Awards, Dowd lamented that state of the lack of diversity in the film industry as reflected by Oscar voters, whom she described as “overwhelmingly white, male and middle-aged.”
Pascal is quoted in the piece discussing how women are often treated in the industry, including the gender pay gap and the difficult odds women directors face in Hollywood.
The Sony exec’s track record was also highlighted in the piece, such as the fact that she greenlit films by female directors Nora Ephron and Nancy Meyers, as well as commercial hits such as the “Spider-Man” franchise, “The Social Network” and “American Hustle.”
