Mark Halperin’s book deal tests the boundaries of life after MeToo by lisabelkin
Has Mark Halperin earned a comeback after being forced out of journalism two years ago when more than a dozen women stepped forward to accuse him of sexual harassment and assault?
“Sure, second chances and all of that,” she said. “But you don’t earn a second chance without acknowledging the real damage you did to women with your behavior.” At the time those accusations were made, Halperin described his past actions as “often aggressive and crude” though he denied accounts of physical interactions. “For a long time at ABC News, I was part of the problem,” he said on Twitter. “I acknowledge that, and I deeply regret it.”
“You don’t just tweet ‘I’m sorry,’” she said. “You need to reach out to the victims and say ‘How can I make it up to you?’ Then, if they want to scream at you for an hour, you take it. If they want you to call someone who you bad-mouthed them to when they wouldn’t play your game, then you make the call and say they were actually good at their job. Or maybe you become an ally or a champion of women, or take concrete steps that show how you have changed.
The announcement that Regan Arts would publish Halperin’s book in November struck many as a shortcut around any semblance of amends.
