Add Israel Horovitz to the list: “I felt close to him like a grandfather, but also he was a somewhat famous guy whose time I felt privileged to have ... For the man who represented all that, to treat me the way he did, was the ultimate betrayal.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/30/theater/israel-horovitz-sexual-misconduct.html …
"He was a good mentor, until he was the worst, probably most nightmarish mentor you could have," one woman said. http://nyti.ms/2jBN574
This has been the worst kept secret in showbiz. Was literally warned off repeated jobs because of this guy. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/30/theater/israel-horovitz-sexual-misconduct.html …
I should admit that this story was the first time I had heard of Israel Horovitz (and it did not make a good first impression) https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/30/theater/israel-horovitz-sexual-misconduct.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=photo-spot-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news …

In response, Horovitz told The Times that while he has “a different memory of some of these events, I apologize with all my heart" http://nyti.ms/2jBN574
It's worth reading all of these stories about powerful men abusing women/girls. They did real damage. Dream crushers. https://nyti.ms/2kcwWsQ
To think of the work that these women might have made had it not been for this predator is heartbreaking. And to think it was in plain sight in 1993 and ignored is infuriating. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/30/theater/israel-horovitz-sexual-misconduct.html?smid=tw-nyttheater&smtyp=cur …
Much respect for @maddiecorman & women in this piece for telling their story. With every truth told, a safe space is made for more victims to feel secure to tell their own experiences. In awe of all their bravery.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/936269091605708801 …
