Woody Allen Interview From 2020 to Feature in 'CBS Sunday Morning' Special on Paramount+

It sounds like they are going to show an old Woody Allen interview, and then show the most incendiary parts of Dylan Farrow crying and whining over something she claims took place in 20 minutes 30 years ago. Why all this unfair viciousness at Woody?

They are trying to bad-jacket this as a #MeToo deal, but #MeToo was about crimes that were not reported of investigated from multiple events and multiple plaintiffs.

How does Woody fit into that ... answer is - he does not. So, who in HBO and CBS are responsible for keeping this harassment of a already investigated case alive?

What a screw job on Woody, and the audience who is being so manipulated by this garbage.

Woody's interview was from July of 2020. It was like a 15 minute segment and he defended himself well as you'd expect. Then they did a Mia/Dylan segment which I skipped over; why waste your time with the lies. Thank you CBS and Paramount for having the courage to oppose the cancel culture false accusers!

CBS Sunday Morning criticizes itself for giving Woody Allen "legitimacy" showing shelved interview

On Saturday, CBS announced Paramount+ will be streaming an unaired CBS Sunday Morning interview that correspondent Lee Cowan conducted with Allen last year for a special delving into the director's career and controversies timed to the release of his memoir. The interview would be packaged with Gayle King's 2018 interview with Dylan Farrow as a Paramount+ special. This morning during a segment on "Cancelled Culture: Reconsidering the art of controversial artists," CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Erin Moriarty took aim at the interview -- which, again, never aired on CBS -- by quoting art critic Aruna D'Souza. "If someone is there being interviewed, they're given a kind of legitimacy just by the fact that they're being interviewed on a big newscast," D'Souza said. As The Hollywood Reporter's Alex Weprin notes, the long-delayed interview raised eyebrows since it was Allen's first one-on-one TV interview with a U.S. broadcaster in nearly 30 years (his last interview was with CBS' 60 Minutes in 1992) and came after his memoir was canceled by Hachette. "Normally, an exclusive interview of that nature would be a significant booking, given the renewed accusations of abuse by Dylan Farrow. However, CBS ended up letting the interview sit on the shelf, until now," says Weprin. In a statement, CBS News says that the interview was shelved due to the "active news cycle" last year, with COVID-19 raging, the presidential election and social justice protests across the country. The decision to air it on Paramount+ was due to "renewed interest in the controversy surrounding the filmmaker," given the recent HBO docuseries Allen v. Farrow.
