Ronan Farrow’s New Book Alleges Gwen Stefani’s Team Tried To Kill A Story About Her Being Pro-Vaccines

October 15, 2019 / Posted by:

Getting on the wrong side of Ronan Farrow seems like a bad idea and somehow Gwen Stefani is now having her name thrown around, with his new book Catch And Kill. But listen, this story has nothing to do with being a sexual predator (phew!) and also, the information Gwen wanted kept under wraps is bizarrely… anti-controversial. It seems that Gwen’s people stopped Ronan from publishing parts of an interview where she comes out as pro-vaccines, suggesting people speak with their doctors. What a… wild… claim?

I don’t know how we got here, but we now live in a world where Gwen Stefani is afraid you’ll find out that she’s into people vaccinating their kids from diseases such as rubella or mumps. I’ve heard of some wacky Hollywood-parenting shit, but vaccinating your kids? ArE yOu InSaNe?

Page Six says that MSNBC president Phil Griffin allegedly tried to pressure Ronan into editing an interview with Gwen. Ronan and Gwen spoke in 2014 at the Global Citizen Festival. A part of the festival’s goal was to promote vaccination. If you haven’t noticed, there’s a growing anti-vaxxer movement so that’s sort of a topic to discuss. Ronan writes:

“I asked Gwen Stefani if she vaccinated her kids, and how she felt about anti-vaxxers. She said she supported vaccines and advised people to talk to their doctors.”

What a psychotic mess! Speak to your doctors? Pfft–Like they’ll know more about how autism develops in a child than Jessica Biel’s Internet shaman.

During Ronan’s editing of the piece, an MSNBC producer said Gwen’s people reviewed the transcript and had notes. Specifically, they wanted him to take out the pro-vaccination stuff. Ronan wondered how they got the transcript and then refused to change it. His boss, Phil Griffin, allegedly grumbled in a meeting with Ronan:

“It’s a puff piece! Come on. What the fuck?”

Ronan Farrow doesn’t do puff pieces, darling. Ronan says that Phil told him Gwen and No Doubt threatened to not do the festival unless he made the change.

“You know what happens if we don’t make these edits? Stefani’s threatening to pull out! That’s straight from her manager.”

Ronan eventually gave in and aired five minutes of small talk.

Ronan’s book has been absolutely decimating the reputation of people like NBC News–who owns MSNBC–who is being accused of knowing how fucked up Matt Lauer was and of trying to kill the Harvey Weinstein story which eventually got him charged with multiple felony rapes. NBC News President, Noah Oppenheim, has slammed this book saying it’s an effort to “defame” them:

“Farrow’s effort to defame NBC News is clearly motivated not by a pursuit of truth, but an axe to grind. It is built on a series of distortions, confused timelines, and outright inaccuracies.”

Because as we all know, Ronan Farrow is recognized for his: “distortions, confused timelines, and outright inaccuracies”. Good luck to anyone caught in the scorched Earth beneath NBC News from this exposé–I just ordered my own online. I’m amazed Gwen Stefani is somehow found herself wrapped up in this, but I’m glad it’s for something mundane like being pro-vaccines. Getting exposed by Ronan Farrow usually goes a lot worse.
