DYLAN FARROW RESPONDS TO WOODY ALLEN’S #METOO BOAST: In a recent interview, Woody Allen said that he should be the “poster boy” for the #MeToo movement since no stars have accused him of misconduct. Dylan Farrow, his adoptive daughter, has repeatedly claimed Allen sexually assaulted her when she was 7 years old in 1993. On Tuesday, Farrow responded to Allen, tweeting: “All Woody Allen’s recent antics demonstrate his desperation to salvage a now faltering career … Everything he says now is nothing more than calculated PR strategy in an attempt to undermine the credible allegations against him. We’re all wiser to that now and know the lengths powerful men will go to in order to demean and silence their victims.” Allen has repeatedly denied Farrow’s allegations. (Page Six)

SAMANTHA BEE APOLOGIZES FOR IVANKA TRUMP SLUR: Late night host Samantha Bee apologized again for calling Ivanka Trump the c-word during a Full Frontal segment about missing migrant children. “It is a word I have used on the show many times, hoping to reclaim it. This time, I used it as an insult. I crossed the line. I regret it, and I do apologize for that,” Bee said Wednesday. “The problem is, a lot of women have heard that word at the worst time in their lives. A lot of them don’t want it reclaimed. I don’t blame them. I don’t want to inflict more pain on them.” The White House and TBS also issued statements condemning her remarks. Added the late-night host: “I should have known that a potty-mouth insult would be inherently more interesting to them than juvenile immigration policy.” Joked Bee, “I want this show to be challenging and to be honest, but I never intended it to hurt anyone. Except Ted Cruz.” (Vulture)
