VIDEO : Blake Lively Criticizes Cannes and French Comedian for Woody Allen Rape Joke, Though Allen W

Actress Blake Lively criticized a rape joke made about Director Woody Allen at the opening ceremony of Cannes. Emcee Laurent Lafitte took a jab at sexual assault allegations at the debut night screening of Allen's Café Society. He said ?It?s very nice that you?ve been shooting so many movies in Europe, even if you are not being convicted for rape in the U.S.? Although Allen says he was not offended, Cafe Society actress Lively said the remark was in poor taste. She told Variety on Thursday that jokes about rape, homophobia or Hitler are not funny.
