Paris Review board started an internal investigation which heard complaints from 'at least two female writers' alleging 'negative encounters' with Stein. In March 2018, an article in ''
Harper's Magazine'' argued that Stein had been a target of false rumors and that his case was an example of "implausibility and rationalization" in the #MeToo movement. ==Awards and honors==
