'It’s wildly unprofessional in multiple obvious directions for Hachette to behave this way,' Ronan Farrow tweeted
Farrow alleged, “Hachette did not fact check the Woody Allen book. My sister Dylan has never been contacted to respond to any denial or mischaracterization of the abuse she suffered at the hands of Woody Allen — a credible allegation, maintained for almost three decades, backed up by contemporaneous accounts and evidence.”
“It’s wildly unprofessional in multiple obvious directions for Hachette to behave this way. But it also shows a lack of ethics and compassion for victims of sexual abuse, regardless of any personal connection or breach of trust here,” Farrow added. “I’ve encouraged Hachette, out of respect for its readers, authors and reputation to conduct a thorough fact check of Woody Allen’s account, in particular any claim that implies my sister is not telling the truth.
The book’s publisher, Grand Central Publishing, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s multiple requests for comment.
