Warner Bros. Entertainment
Italia said Tuesday that Christmas movie "Poveri Ma Ricchissimi"
(Poor but Very Rich) will come out as planned on December 14
even though director Fausto Brizzi is at the centre of a storm
over alleged sexual abuse.
The company said the decision was based on the fact that the
film was "the result of the creativity, work and dedication of
hundreds of women and men in the cast and production".
It added that it had "suspended any future collaboration with
Brizzi, who will not be connected to any activities regarding
the promotion and distribution of the film".
Brizzi has denied the accusations that featured in an
investigative report by the Mediaset TV programme 'Le Iene' that
aired in Italy on Sunday night.
During the report 10 women accused Brizzi of varying degrees
of sexual harassment and assault.
