Due to the sudden Metoo movement, Woody Allen’s allegations of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old adopted daughter were brought up again, starring Greta Geweig and Rebecca. Many movie stars who had worked with Howe, Timothy Chalamet, etc. have spoken out, drew a clear line with them, and announced the donation of film rewards. After

In February of this year, Woody Allen filed a $68 million compensation lawsuit against Amazon Pictures, accusing the streaming media company of terminating the distribution of four films on both sides for "a baseless accusation 25 years ago" protocol. Around this case, Amazon Pictures has also fought back. Amazon pointed out that Allen's actions and consequences ensure that Amazon will never be able to benefit from the cooperation of the four films, and Amazon has paid Allen a $10 million signing fee in advance. The two parties have now reached a settlement, but the details of the agreement need to be further announced.
