The author of "Catch and Kill" slammed the company for working with his dad, long accused of molesting Farrow's sister.
Journalist Ronan Farrow is dropping his publisher, the Hachette Book Group, after the company decided to publish the memoir written by his father, Woody Allen, who has long been accused of molesting his adoptive daughter.
He said that the company’s decision to work with Allen shows “a lack of ethics and compassion for victims of sexual abuse, regardless of any personal connection or breach of trust here.”— Ronan Farrow March 4, 2020 In 1992, allegations surfaced that Allen, an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, had sexually molested Dylan Farrow. Police investigated the claims, but Allen was never charged.
“Hachette did not fact check the Woody Allen book,” Farrow said. “My sister Dylan has never been contacted to respond to any denial or mischaracterization of the abuse she suffered at the hands of Woody Allen ― a credible allegation, maintained for almost three decades, backed up by contemporaneous accounts and evidence.”
“This provides yet another example of the profound privilege that power, money and notoriety affords,” she said.
