In September Toronto Star investigative reporter Kevin Donovan happened to get seated at a TIFF dinner next to Jian Ghomeshi, whom he’d been trying to interview for several weeks about the allegations that JG had abused women. Donovan reports it made for quite a surreal evening, including when Ghomeshi tried to warn him off the story with a not-so veiled threat: “People in this city need to understand that I have a long memory. You need to understand that and be very, very careful.” What’s weird to me is that he evidently thought his threat would be enough to make the report and newspaper back off, the same reporter and paper that had just some months earlier investigated and reported with great detail many scoops on Rob Ford, which elicited many unavailing threats from the Ford brothers.You may read the rest of Donovan’s story via this link.
