Woody Allen sued Amazon Studios on Thursday, accusing the company of backing out of a film deal over a “baseless” sexual abuse accusation.
Allen said he agreed to delay the release of Rainy Day, only to have Amazon Studios cancel their contract altogether.
In the complaint, Allen said Amazon Studios had already contracted with him and his Gravier Productions to distribute his films Cafe Society and Wonder Wheel before entering the four-film agreement in August 2017.
Allen has long denied the allegation by Dylan Farrow and her mother Mia Farrow, who appeared in a dozen of his films and was his longtime partner.
