Woody Allen
After online backlash, the “Da 5 Bloods” director apologized for defending Allen against cancel culture in a recent radio interview.
The director and accused child sexual abuser's memoir had been dropped by its previous publisher after widespread backlash.
Employees of the publisher walked out on Thursday to protest the company's deal with the director.
The staffers expressed solidarity with journalist Ronan Farrow and his sister Dylan Farrow, who has alleged that Allen molested her when she was a child.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The author of "Catch and Kill" slammed the company for working with his dad, long accused of molesting Farrow's sister.
"This provides yet another example of the profound privilege that power, money and notoriety affords," she stated.
The director allegedly sexually abused his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow when she was 7 years old.
The director filed a lawsuit against the company for backing out of a multifilm deal at the height of the Me Too movement.
The “Jurassic World” actor made the remarks despite also calling the Me Too movement “very, very positive” and supporting it “wholeheartedly.”
The director who just two years ago scoffed at the movement against sexual misconduct is still trying to portray himself as a crusader.
