Woody Allen and Amazon Settle Breach of Contract Lawsuit

Mr. Allen has denied the allegations and has not been charged with any crime. The misconduct allegations against Mr. Allen arose during a bitter child custody battle between Mr. Allen and his former partner, Mia Farrow.

Mr. Allen’s affair with Soon-Yi Previn, who had been adopted by Ms. Farrow and who later married Mr. Allen, further fueled the dispute, which split the family.

The feud between Mr. Allen, a three-time Academy Award winner, and Amazon is another product of the #MeToo era in the movie industry, politics, media and business. Among those who have fallen from grace: Harvey Weinstein, Bill O’Reilly and Matt Lauer.

A key figure in exposing the sexual misconduct cases has been the journalist Ronan Farrow, a son of Mia Farrow and Mr. Allen who has sided with his mother and sister Dylan.
