A wrought-iron door guards the address near Central Park where Guzel Ganieva lives on the upper floors of a townhouse dating from the Gilded Age. On a winter morning two years ago, the doorman stationed there took a hard look at two uninvited guests. The visitors, a man and a woman, wore the thousand-yard stare that is the unofficial uniform of New York City police detectives. One of them flashed a badge, and the doorman let them inside.
The visitors had prepared carefully. They knew how to recognise Ganieva, a Russian-born former model who had moved to Manhattan with her son. They knew about Ganieva’s relationship with Leon Black, the Wall Street billionaire who had recently become chairman of the Museum of Modern Art. And they had seen her Twitter account, created days earlier, on which she accused Black of sexual harassment and abuse.
If Ganieva’s visitors had asked how she first became acquainted with Black, she would have told them she was in her twenties when they met at a party in 2008. She claims he promised to advance her career and that their relationship became increasingly manipulative and punctuated by violent assaults.
