Kaiman resigned from the LA Times as a result of allegations by two women of sexually aggressive behavior.[4][5] The accusations against him and his downfall have been a subject of continuing debate, in large part due to the decision of Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, one of the first women to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, to interview him on her podcast.[6][7]

He is currently a freelance journalist based in New Delhi.[8]
