Woody Allen sues Amazon for £52m 'as films dropped over abuse claims'

Woody Allen has launched a legal action against Amazon Studios

 

Woody Allen has launched a multi-million dollar damages claim against Amazon after it allegedly dropped his movie deal following renewed abuse allegations against him.

 

The 83-year-old director is seeking $68m (£52m) from Amazon Studios, accusing the company of breach of contract.

 

According to the lawsuit, the company pulled out of the deal last June after an accusation resurfaced that he had molested his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992.

 

The lawsuit said Amazon knew about a "25-year-old baseless allegation" before signing with Allen in August 2017, but still used it as an excuse to back out of the deal.

I think he has a point. Also, he should sue for something in Thailand, certainly true or false this is what the Thai's say is 'blasphemous'  or whatever is used to shut down online speculation.

I'm not sure what online 'speculation' you are referring to. His adopted daughter still maintains her claims against him.
Most of her recent repeats of her claims have been made online. No charges have been pressed against Woody Allen despite the efforts of the prosecutors.
