Apple has now gotten caught for doing this to Jon Stewart and now Robert De Niro in a month’s time. Not great.
Kind of a bummer, AppleTV+ actually has really good content now, and this makes me not want to support it.
I don’t want to give credit to Apple, but let’s not forget that De Niro is anti vax, among others bullshit he have spewed over the years
Wait… He is? I don’t follow news about celebrities as often and only watch movies and shows, maybe some interviews.
Yowza
Yeah, this is the first I’ve heard about that.
Yeah… honestly don’t blame them for cutting an unhinged rant out of their awards show speeches. But if they did it without informing him, or explicitly approved it to get him to commit, and bait and switched, then yeah, they’re in the wrong.
It did make it far more entertaining, though.
Why does him being antivaxx matter lol he should be saying what h wants not he controlled.
Also had a kid this year at 80.

What are you smoking? Just about all of us here are shitting on Apple for doing this.
I see few comments shitting on de Niro for being an anti vaxxer as if it holds a weight in this argument… read some of those comments too.
alleges that multiple versions of the speech had been created, and that both Apple and the filmmakers were unaware that De Niro had not approved the final draft.
What a lame excuse LOL that’s just another description for censorship by some clueless interns. And I’m sure they are going to come up with new, multiple versions of lame excuses during the next days.
They should rather take responsibility for their malpractice! Lo and behold: the actor himself has no problem with taking responsibility for his own speech.
Apple Inc has their own awards show?
ooh a teleprompter streisand effect, nice move from the organizers
What is it with atrocities towards native Americans and Hollywood award speeches?
U censoring me?
Fuck apple but I am skeptical of an 80 year old antivaxxer.
Bwamp, I missed that he was an anti-vaxxer. :(
And now that I’ve seen this article, I’ve watched a clip for a broadcast I normally wouldn’t give a rat’s bottom about. Thanks Apple!
Ad hominem attacks are lazy logical fallacies that show the utter stupidity of people.
The fuck does this old fart’s vax position have to do with his allegation of Apple cutting out the Trump rant of his speech?

Does anyone remember the days when there were a few people who didn’t feel like they needed to make a political statement every five minutes?
