UnfairRepresent 10/16/17 1:32:59 PM #1:	Actor Griffin Newman has donated his entire salary from an untitled Woody Allen film to charity after admitting his regret at working with the filmmaker. The 28-year-old US actor stars in an upcoming Allen flick which is still in production and has now vowed never to put his career over morals again. Amid the Harvey Weinstein scandal rocking Hollywood, Newman has donated his entire pay cheque to a charity working to help victims of abuse. Newman spoke of his guilt in a series of tweets, posted before Allen himself spoke out on the Weinstein saga.In the tweets, he revealed he believes he is guilty as he admitted the Weinstein drama had prompted him to speak up. In a lengthy series of tweets, the 28-year-old US actor said that he does not have evidence of Allens guilt but shared an open letter penned by Allens adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow in The New York Times in 2014, which Newman said led him to make his decision. Newman wrote on Twitter: I need to get this off my chest. worked on Woody Allens next movie. I believe he is guilty. I donated my entire salary to RAINN. The charity he said he has donated to is the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, Americas largest anti-sexual violence organisation and leading authority on sexual violence. The actor, best known for appearing in Amazon series The Tick, said that he did not quit the job at the time because my parents were incredibly proud and I felt there things to be gained from the experience on that set, adding: I was a coward. Newman went on: It was an educational experience for all the wrong reasons. I learned conclusively that I cannot put my career over my morals again. I had been feeling this way for the last month, but the awful continuance revelations of the last week compounded my guilt ten fold. Ive spent the last decade struggling as an actor, and learned to sideline my views because the thought of closing any doors was terrifying. Ive been steadfast in what I stand for in my personal life and on Twitter, but would largely take the check and bite my tongue on set. To anyone who thinks I took the easy way out by taking the job THEN denouncing it, I assure you that is the worst combination of choices, he added, saying he is getting equal amounts of (separate) criticism for taking the job as believing that hes guilty. Newman later went back to his Twitter thread to add some addendums, in which he clarified he was not convinced of his guilt by being on set, but that it just made me feel like a hypocrite. He said, sharing a link to the 2014 article by Farrow: People ask me for evidence of his guilt. I dont have any. I just read this and know who I want to believe. Why did it take you months to feel guilty? It didnt. It took seconds. It just took me until now to verbalise it publicly, he added. Newman said he is not looking to be celebrated and said he did not speak out to get free press or boost my career. Farrow had claimed that in 1992 at the familys Connecticut home, Allen led her to a dim, closet-like attic and then he sexually assaulted me. Allen was investigated over the 1992 accusation, but prosecutors elected not to charge him, and he has always vehemently denied the claims. A number of actresses, including Hollywood stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, have made accusations of sexual harassment against 65-year-old movie mogul Weinstein in recent days. Through his spokeswoman, Weinstein has unequivocally denied any allegations of non-consensual sex after three actresses said he had raped them in an article in The New Yorker. Well okay then --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:888541730] in Man donate...
