NEW YORK (AP) - A lawyer for Amazon says Woody Allen breached his
four-movie deal with the online giant by making statements about the #MeToo
movement that damaged prospects for promoting his films.
Attorney Robert Klieger told a Manhattan federal judge Friday that the
company protected itself after Allen made comments that at a minimum were
insensitive.
The hearing was related to a lawsuit Allen filed in February seeking at
least $68 million. The lawsuit says Amazon ended his 2017 contract in June.
John Quinn, Allen's lawyer, says Amazon initially claimed it was ending the
deal because of allegations made against Allen decades ago, not because of
his recent statements.
Allen's adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, said in 1992 that Allen molested
her when she was 7. Allen has repeatedly denied it.
