Since the #MeToo revolution, in which numerous women have come forward to share their experiences with sexual misconduct by men they've worked with, many questioned why director Woody has been spared after being accused in 1992 of sexually abusing his then seven-year-old daughter. Several women who worked with Woody have apologized for doing so in the past few months.

Mandy, who goes by the handle, @kicked2thecurbproductions, replied, "Sorry, No one can make Selena do anything she doesn’t want to. I had a long talk with her about not working with him and it didn’t click. Her team are amazing people. There is no fall person here. No one controls her. She makes all her own decisions. No matter how hard you try to advise. It falls on deaf ears."

Selena has not apologized, but she did say last year when Billboard asked her about working with Woody, "To be honest, I'm not sure how to answer—not because I'm trying to back away from it. The Harvey Weinstein allegations actually happened right after I had started on the movie. They popped up in the midst of it. And that's something, yes, I had to face and discuss. I stepped back and thought, 'Wow, the universe works in interesting ways.'"
