Foolish old man 😠

Good

This was pussy-ism at its worst. Enough already. Boycott the movies, don’t buy the book. But there’s nothing in our constitution that denies the right to have it published. I’d sue the publisher for every last penny.

Great publicity for whoever eventually does publish the book. I will definitely buy one.

PEDOPHILE

Are they going to organise a book burning event next?

That anyone allows him to make movies, write books etc is disgusting..........

Kudos to them. Woody was funny until he wasn’t. scum

Karma

About time! Woody Allen is a freak

Believe the victims.

Yay!!! 👏👏👏 Wise choice HatchetteBook. Hey MiaFarrow what you say 😂😂😂

He lied 🤥 when he went to court with his wife Mia farrow ..he said he wasn’t having sex with the nanny ..when he was living with the young girl & after the divorce married her & told lies about Mia that she was a nut case

Who the hell wants the inside story to pedophile woody. We have heard enough. What he did to his child, who he us now married to, is called sexual grooming. Preparing a child to become your sexual being, once they reach of age is sexual ABUSE!

Hollywood weirdo.

Wrong , he was not prosecuted

Woody.. Trash.. 🤮🤮

He's wealthy & famous enough to just publish it himself. Like a rapper dropping an album.

Ronan? Woody’s child? Don’t think so.

How does a publisher cancel a book? You mean they decided not to publish it, yes? Words matter.

I have a difficult time believing Ronan is this man's child. Ronan looks like Sinatra.

He’s a creep. How’s he escaped “me too”

boycotthachette until they have the guts to stand up for free speech and against Ronan Farrow’s facist impulses. Woody Allen deserves the same freedom to speak as Farrow and the MeToo women.

Don't you usually have to have some form of a trial before being convicted of a crime and punished? Ridiculous. freeWoodyAllen

Darn that Trump! I bet it was his fault.

Why did they even consider working with someone with several metoo incidents

Because fuck the free market deciding right?

Good...

I'm betting several mid-level Hachette executives told the CEO/President this was a disastrous idea from a PR standpoint, but they were overruled because there was a pre-existing relationship with Allen somewhere in the chain - it was a stupid idea from the get-go.

tadrow I mean, everything else aside, this was going to be a self aggrandizing pack of half truths from the jump.

hell yeah

1984 she and Allen tried to conceive a child together. Allen agreed to this on the understanding that he need not be involved in the child's care. When the effort to get pregnant failed, Farrow adopted a baby girl, Dylan Farrow, in July 1985. Allen was not involved in the adopt..

The man was never charged with a crime and is arguably the most gifted writer and director of the last half century. But ok.🙄🙄. Don't me cuz idgaf what you think.😂😂 donald_j_putin FakaktaSouth ErnestHolbart PixMichelle stephenc483 OrangeVulgarian

and their staff walking out in protest.

Woody’s career’s might have just been given a standing eight count. The great artist’s reputation is in tatters.

GOOD. The man is a known pedophile. 🤢

oliverdarcy After criticism from EVERYONE. It was appalling to even think about publishing this book. Don't give abusers a platform to continue their abuse.

oliverdarcy What a disgrace. The guy has never been charged with anything and now the cancel culture wants to prevent him from even telling his side.

A big THANK YOU to all who protested!

Why did you buckle under pressure? Woody is innocent until proven guilty by a court of his peers not by his biased children, in my opinion.

Hurting People Hurt People! He maynot have been the BEST Dad, but why should that stop his $ flow! When his kids have kids of their OWN, I hope their perfect because THEIR kids could do the same to them. You might think YOU'RE great, but kids may feel otherwise! Karma

Good. 🎉

Weak cancelculture

This guy made the most boring movies in human history.

Good

Was expecting a hatchet job..

It should be canceled!!!

I hope Ronan picks up his toys now and comes back to the crib.

good. retire and perish old man

Don't you mean Ronan Sinatra? Does Hatchette plan on running every book they plan on publishing past Ronan to make sure it's ok? What a fucking joke.

good
