Cancel Keaton

Enough is enough. It’s time to cancel Diane Keaton.

Keaton, who won an Academy Award for her role as Annie Hall in Woody Allen’s film of the same name, remains on good terms with the disgraced director despite the fact that he was once accused of child molestation.

The evidence against Keaton is overwhelming. In 2019 she photographed Allen for the author photo accompanying Apropos of Nothing, his autobiography. Allen, in his book, writes glowingly of Keaton. To take him at his word, she is unashamedly and unapologetically his friend, even though people on the internet revile him.

It gets worse. As recently as 2018, she wrote publicly that “Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him.”

Allen, who has been exonerated by the evidence, every investigation conducted in the case, and a lie-detector test, is nevertheless known to be guilty of molesting his daughter Dylan because, to quote popular opinion, “Mia Farrow said he did. And Dylan said it too.”

Despite Keaton’s flouting of the commandment to “always believe the woman,” she has continued to appear in films such as Love, Weddings & Disasters, most recently.

Enough is enough. We will never successfully cancel people who have been accused of things until we also cancel those who are friends with people who have been accused of things.

Of course, Diane Keaton isn’t the only person who falls in this category. Sadly, there are many people (women and men) who stand by their friends and the evidence even if it makes other people upset. But Keaton is among the most prominent in this group. Let’s get her.
