Actor Dustin Hoffman addresses allegations of sexual misconduct in his newly published memoir, "Look at Me," denying wrongdoing while conceding that his behavior may have left some women feeling uncomfortable, according to media reports.
Hoffman, a two-time Academy Award-winning actor, denies the allegations of sexual misconduct that have been made against him, according to coverage from Yahoo and People.com. Yahoo reported that he also acknowledges in the book that he may have made some women "uncomfortable."
The memoir, titled "Look at Me," has drawn attention from several major outlets. The Guardian published a review describing the book as an account in which "an era-defining actor says his piece." The New York Times ran a separate piece on Hoffman under the headline "Dustin Hoffman Thought He'd Be a Nobody," a title that points to the early-career self-doubt the actor describes.
The available reports do not detail the full text of the passages concerning the allegations, and this article does not draw on the memoir directly. Readers seeking the precise wording of Hoffman's statements, and the specifics of the claims he addresses, are encouraged to consult the original reporting and the book itself.
The publication of the memoir adds to the public record of Hoffman's career and to the continuing public discussion of allegations of misconduct in the entertainment industry.
