Spike Lee issues apology after defending Woody Allen

(14 Jun 2020) SPIKE LEE ISSUES APOLOGY AFTER DEFENDING WOODY ALLEN After voicing support for Woody Allen and criticizing cancel culture, Spike Lee apologized Saturday (13 JUNE 2020) for words he said were “wrong.”    In an interview Friday on the New York radio station WOR 710, Lee called Allen “a great, great filmmaker.”    “This cancel thing is not just Woody. And I think that when we look back on it, (we’re) gonna see that, short of killing somebody, I don’t if you can just erase somebody like they never existed. Woody’s a friend of mine,” said Lee. "I know he’s going through it right now.”    The following day, Lee tweeted an apology.    “My words were WRONG,” he wrote. “I do not and will not tolerate sexual harassment, assault or violence. Such treatment causes real damage that can't be minimized.”    Allen has been accused of molesting his daughter Dylan Farrow when she was 7 years old in the early 1990s. Allen has long denied the allegation. Earlier this year, he released a memoir through Arcade Publishing after his original publisher, Hachette Book Group, dropped the book  amid widespread criticism.    Lee's latest film, the Vietnam War drama “Da 5 Bloods,” debuted Friday on Netflix.
