WOODY ALLEN CONDEMNATIONS CONTINUE
The list of Woody Allen’s former colleagues speaking out against him grew longer this week as Colin Firth announced he would never work with the veteran writer-director again. Timothée Chalamet and Rebecca Hall, stars of Allen’s upcoming film, donated their salaries to the legal defense fun of the Time’s Up campaign.

An investigation into the initial 1992 claims concluded that Farrow had not been abused. Alec Baldwin defended Allen on Twitter, claiming that working with him was “one of the priveleges of my career.”
