'I’ve encouraged Hachette ... to conduct a thorough fact check of Woody Allen’s account,' Ronan Farrow said. 'I’ve also told Hachette that a publisher that would conduct itself in this way is one I can’t work with in good conscience'

On Tuesday, Ronan Farrow tweeted a statement on his father’s forthcoming book, condemning the apparent lack of fact-checking as “wildly unprofessional.” Further, Farrow said, Hachette appeared to have purposefully kept the acquisition from him while working to publish his best seller, Catch and Kill, about chasing the story of Harvey Weinstein’s serial predation. Farrow’s New Yorker exposé on the subject helped catalyze the Me Too movement.
I was disappointed to learn through press reports that Hachette, my publisher, acquired Woody Allen’s memoir after other major publishers refused to do so, and concealed the decision from me and its own employees while we were working on Catch and Kill — a book about how powerful men, including Woody Allen, avoid accountability for sexual abuse. Hachette did not fact check the Woody Allen book.
