The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has responded to a lawsuit filed by director Roman Polanski, saying it stands by its decision to expel the filmmaker last May.
“The procedures taken to expel Mr. Polanski were fair and reasonable. The Academy stands behind its decision as appropriate,” a spokesperson said.
On Friday, Polanski filed a lawsuit that read, “The Academy’s actions, sanctions and decisions against [Polanski] are invalid under Code Civ. Proc. 1094.5 and alternatively Code Civ. Proc. 1085, on the grounds that the Academy failed to grant petitioner any notice and a fair hearing. The Academy committed a prejudicial abuse of discretion in that the Academy failed to proceed in the manner required by law, the Academy’s expulsion decision is not supported by the findings, and the Academy’s findings are not supported by the evidence.”
