Spike Lee retropedal. When he had defended his "friend" Woody Allen who is accused of being touched by his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, now he offers his sincere apologies.

“I never tolerate and will never tolerate sexual harassment, aggression or violence. Such treatment causes real damage which cannot be minimized, ”he added on Twitter.

The “cancel culture”

Spike Lee had defended Woody Allen as recently as last Friday, to protest against the "cancel culture", that is to say erase the work of an artist following his behavior, during his appearance at the microphone of the New York radio morning In the Morning .

“I would just like to say that Woody Allen is a very great filmmaker and this cancel culture is not just about Woody. I think when we think about it, we will realize that, unless you kill someone, I don't know if you can just wipe someone out to pretend they never existed. (...) Woody is a friend of mine (...) so I know how he is going through this now, "said the director of Da 5 Bloods .

Spike Lee thus joins the ranks of several Hollywood celebrities who have distanced themselves from Woody Allen, whose autobiography, By the way , has recently come out.
