Woody Allen has made 50 movies despite being accused of sexual assault in the 90s. The alleged assault was from Allen’s ex, Mia Farrow, an she alleged that Allen sexually assaulted their adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. In recent years, Farrow’s story has become more prominent and many who once worked with the director have shared their remorse over doing so.

So it then begs the question: Why is he now doing an interview? And one with Bari Weiss, no less. The answer is that Allen wrote a book. One I won’t be reading but it is called What’s With Baum? and it is about “Asher Baum, a middle-aged Jewish writer with a secret that could unravel his life.” But, as Weiss wrote, it explores accusations, the truth, and you can guess where this is going.
