Ronan Farrow, in his post, urged 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.
Pietsch told the outlet, "We do not allow anyone's publishing program to interfere with anyone else's. Each book has its own mission. Our job as a publisher is to help the author achieve what they have set out to do in the creation of their book."Allen's autobiography has been billed by Grand Central Publishing as a "comprehensive account of his life, both personal and professional, and describes his work in films, theater, television, nightclubs, and print.
According to the Times, four major publishing houses passed on the memoir, as the abuse claims loom over the Oscar-winning screenwriter. The once celebrated auteur has also seen difficulty in getting his films distributed in the US, however, he still has a following in European markets. Amazon returned rights to "A Rainy Day in New York" back to Allen in 2019; stars of the film Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning distanced themselves from the director, as well as Greta Gerwig and Rebecca Hall.
