"Bill Maher Stands Firm in Defense of Woody Allen Amid Abuse Allegations"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Variety
Bill Maher passionately defends Woody Allen against child molestation allegations, citing two police investigations that exonerated Allen and criticizing actors who refuse to work with him. Maher questions the credibility of the HBO documentary "Allen v. Farrow" and expresses disbelief in the allegations, while Katie Couric presents evidence supporting Dylan Farrow's claim. Both acknowledge uncertainty about the truth, with Maher arguing that Allen shouldn't be shunned if exonerated by the law, despite societal pressure. Woody Allen's latest film, "Coup de Chance," has been released in small arthouse theaters.
