Woody Allen has described cancel culture as ‘silly’, admitting he doesn’t really know what it means to be cancelled. Speaking as an influential male Hollywood figure, it figures. Read more on Grazia.
In an interview with Variety, the director suggested that to be ‘cancelled’ was something of a badge of honour in the entertainment industry, and that he’d not been affected by previous condemnations and allegations against him.
While ‘no credible evidence’ was found for allegations that Allen sexually abused his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow, Cancel culture no doubt comes with its own problems, but at its core it can give us hope that powerful and ignorant people will be held to account if they express certain views or perform certain actions that are problematic.
It doesn’t seem to occur to him to acknowledge the privilege he is afforded to continue to work after such serious allegations have been made against him.
