Top Peacock brass are said to be “furious” with the son of Mia Farrow after he criticized the Golden Globes? on social media for honoring his father Woody Allen with a prestigious award, Breaking Celebrity News has been told.
Ronan Farrow, who has signed up for a show on MSNBC which is expected to launch this month, irked network bosses when he tweeted Sunday night, "Missed the Woody Allen tribute - did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?"
An NBC source told Radar: “The network has very strict policies on what their talent/employees are able to post on Twitter and Facebook. No-one has said anything directly to Ronan yet about it, but he will certainly be reminded about it now that he is an employee of the network.
"It just places the network in a terrible position of having to defend airing the Golden Globes, which was a huge ratings bonanza.”
