On Sunday during the Super Bowl, a super Pac supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran an ad for his independent presidential campaign for the 2024 election.
The advertisement displayed pictures of the candidate in vintage attire, echoing the campaign of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy. The commercial was meant to honor the legacy of the former president and stir up buzz from Rfk Jr., however, many members of the Kennedy family did not receive it well.
Kennedy’s cousin, Bobby Shriver, son of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, posted on X, “My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces – and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views.”
My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA.

The filmmakers behind the new docuseries Allen v. Farrow said their use of the audiobook of Woody Allen’s memoir, Apropos of Nothing, was protected under the “fair use” doctrine after the book’s publisher attacked the series. While Allen himself did not participate in the documentary, the filmmakers use parts of the audiobook as read by Allen himself throughout the four-episode series.
Earlier Monday, Tony Lyons, president of the book’s publisher Skyhorse Publishing, claimed that the use of the Apropos of Nothing audiobook in the series was “unauthorized.

Skyhorse Publishing, which released Woody Allen’s memoir “Apropos of Nothing” last year, has accused HBO’s “Allen v. Farrow” of using audio snippets of Allen reading from the audiobook without permission.
In a statement, Skyhorse president Tony Lyons called the use of the audiobook in the Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering docuseries a “blatant appropriation of Mr. Allen’s intellectual property.” A representative for Skyhorse did not say whether or not they planned to pursue legal action on the matter. Read the full statement below.
The first episode of Allen v. Farrow uses without permission more than three minutes of Skyhorse’s audio edition of Woody Allen’s autobiography, Apropos of Nothing. It is our understanding that the remaining episodes make similar unauthorized use of the audiobook. This blatant appropriation of Mr. Allen’s intellectual property is unquestionably copyright infringement under existing legal precedent. Viewers of the series should...

Skyhorse Publishing, which printed Woody Allen’s autobiography last year Apropos of Nothing, says that neither HBO nor Allen v. Farrow filmmakers Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick gained proper clearance to use portions of the auteur’s audio book in the docuseries.
Ziering and Dick contend that they reached out to Allen’s camp for his participation in the documentary and received a ‘No.’
Last night a spokesperson for Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn said that they were “approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days ‘to respond.’ Of course, they declined to do so.” Allen and Previn’s spokesperson also said, “These documentarians had no interest in the truth. Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods.”
