After signing on as a producer for a documentary about recent sexual assault allegations against Russell Simmons, Oprah Winfrey has stepped away from the project. In a recent statement, the OWN boss said she had a different vision for the doc than directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering did.
“I have decided that I will no longer be executive producer on “The Untitled Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering Documentary” and it will not air on Apple TV+,” the TV mogul said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
