The comments sparked backlash given Allen has faced long-held claims that he molested his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow, who has said that she was seven years old at the time of the alleged incident. Allen has consistently denied the accusations. The filmmaker's memoir was originally slated to be published by Hachette Book Group, but the company made the decision to pull his memoir a day after employees

Must be a skeleton in spike's closet...

Sooo, he defended someone against cancel culture, then the cancel culture turned on him. And just like all the rest of the spineless wooses, he bent over and caved; apologizing for having an opinion that disagreed with the what? The cancel culture.🙄

When Spike Lee defended Woody Allen, the Twitter Mob was like...

I guess he's not that much of a friend after all.

Too bad his agent made him take the statement back.

I agree with Spike that we shouldn’t erase good work because we don’t like the artists. I have met eighty year old men with twenty year old wifes in my past work and it was weird but I’m not their judge and jury. People are flawed but we can still get along. ✌🏽❤️🇺🇸❤️🌎

🥱

Good thing Woody never did any of those things. As 11 investigations proved.

Spike been talking a lot of jive recently. I think he just needs to keep his bougie ass court side at the Knicks because he ain't really about that life.

Sigh

Lol the backtrack

People who complain about 'cancel culture' are projecting their own fear of being cancelled.

He’s an idiot and so is Woody! How about we cancel them both!

spikelee the two thing we have in common are ny’ers and the Knicks, but your movie 5 da bloods your best ever. vnVet. notwhiteprivilege

Film buddies...

Spike Lee two days later: Woody Allen is my friend and a great guy. Spike Lee four days later: Woody Allen is a nasty nasty fella. Spike Lee six days later:..............

You must think EXACTLY what we the mob tell you to think. Step out of line & we'll try to ruin you even if we were just talking about how important your artistic voice is. Fuckin joke.

oh please ne knew what he said & meant it. they just backtrack when they gage the backlash

Coming from the countries biggest racist 🤦‍♂️

Spike Lee is possibly the biggest racist of all. Don’t give him a medium to cultivate his views. Yes it’s not only white that can be racist.

🤷‍♂️
