“The first thing I thought is that they did not hide, nor did he kiss her in a dark alley. She wasn’t raping her It was just a kiss and it was a friend. What’s wrong with that? In the first information we did not know if the woman moved away and said ‘don’t do that’, the director declared. “In any case, it is difficult to understand how a person can lose their job and be penalized in this way for kissing someone.”, he continued.
Immediately after, Woody Allen acknowledges that Rubiales’ kiss was something “wrong”, but he does not hesitate to downplay it: “If it was inappropriate or too aggressive, tell him clearly not to do that and to apologize. It’s not like he killed someone”, he expressed at first. “As an average citizen, he was wrong, he did the wrong thing… But It wasn’t like I burned down a school”, he added. Thus, the New York filmmaker believes that Rubiales should “apologize and ensure that he will not do it again, and once that is done, both move on.” “He wasn’t kissing her in her office with the door closed or anything like that where she was threatened. She was clearly in plain sight and she was in no danger.. But of course, she has every right to make it clear that she does not want to, ”she declared.
