JAKARTA - Director Spike Lee opened his voice regarding his support for Woody Allen some time ago. But what is different, now Lee chose to stop defending his friend because of the sexual harassment case that Allen committed a few days after his statement.

To radio New York WOR 710, the BlacKkKlansman director said, “I want to say Woody Allen is a great filmmaker. When we look back, it's not just about killing someone, I don't know how you erased someone like they never existed. "

Spike Lee also said Woody Allen was a close friend and he understood what he was going through. But Saturday, June 13, Lee retracted the comment and replaced it with a tweet.

This comment then made the public angry, considering that the two of them were friends but Lee shouldn't have to defend his friend.

"I apologize. My words are wrong. I will not tolerate sexual harassment, violence or assault. This caused severe damage which could not be minimized, ”he said angrily via Twitter.

I Deeply Apologize. My Words Were WRONG. I Do Not And Will Not Tolerate Sexual Harassment, Assault Or Violence. Such Treatment Causes Real Damage That Can't Be Minimized.-Truly, Spike Lee.

Reported by NME, it was reported that Allen abused Spike Lee's adopted son, which made him not accept this even though it was done by his best friend.

Meanwhile, Spike Lee has a recent work on Netflix called Da 5 Bloods. This film tells the journey of four people looking for their leader and a place with hidden gold in Vietnam. Currently, the Da 5 Bloods film can be watched via Netflix.
