After director Woody Allen was honored with a lifetime achievement award at this year’s Golden Globes ceremony, Allen’s estranged son, Ronan Farrow, issued a tweet harshly critical of the move, referencing Allen’s alleged molestation of Farrow’s sister, Dylan, when she was seven years old. The tweet received a great deal of attention and support from the online community.
So is Farrow right? Is it wrong to honor an artist with a sordid past that involves illegal activity? Where do you draw the line? What about Roman Polanski? Chris Brown? Is it possible to separate the art from the artist?
Our panel tangles with these and other related questions in this segment of “The Point with Ana Kasparian.”
