The gathering was intended to explain why Hachette’s Grand Central Publishing imprint would put out Allen’son April 7. That effort fizzled after Pietsch was unable to pursued senior staff to support him following best-selling’s declaration yesterday that he would no longer work with the publisher for putting out his estranged father’s book.

Representatives for Hachette did not respond to Deadline’s request for comment on the walkout and employee reaction to the publication of the 84-year old Allen’s book. Among the many controversies surround Oscar winner Allen are the allegations by the filmmaker’s daughter Dylan that he molested her as a child.

RonanFarrow You have published this article on-line at 16.00 on March 5th. This is one hour after the NY walkout started. Considering you are based in Hollywood, how did you manage to inform yourself to the necessary standards, write and publish the article in such a short time? Thanks.

RonanFarrow Sad that the law doesn't apply equally and that innocence before proven guilty doesn't apply. So we live in a world now where an accusation is enough to ruin a man's life. Be ashamed of yourself. What is next? Book burning?

RonanFarrow Is there a family history of dementia?

He is a child molester.

What a disgrace. Woody Allen was cleared of wrongdoing by the state of Connecticut. Investigators found Mia Farrow had coached her daughter. Literally nobody reads.

RonanFarrow Who even gives a fuck about his memoirs?

Found guilty by the uninformed court of public opinion. I wonder if those people even know anything about the original court case.

Spurs*

RonanFarrow I had no idea how riveting publishing is.

RonanFarrow Spurs?

Stop. Stop. Stop. Two investigations found evidence that Dylan was coached by Mia (a woman who was twice impregnated by married men) to say she was molested. There have never been other allegations which is uncommon for an accused child molester. Leave Woody alone.

kudos to Hachette employees

RonanFarrow Good for them!

RonanFarrow spurs.

Bye, Phelishia.

Well. 💁

Ronan Farrow Cuts Hachette Relationship Over Publisher’s Decision To Release Woody Allen MemoirsWith all the election craziness, here’s one we didn’t get to last night that is worth noting. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ronan Farrow continues to be a man of conviction. Shortly… Regardless of his other work, the reality is that yesterday's statement is a desperate mishmash of lies and nonsense. He does it because he knows no one ever questions him. Why not devote equal time to Ronan's brother Moses' repudiation of the sexual abuse assertions against Woody Allen? Pretty sure Hachette was cutting ties with Ronan 😂
