Robert De Niro's Censored Anti-Trump Speech at Gotham Awards

Apple altered Robert De Niro's speech at the Gotham Awards, removing any mention of former President Donald Trump. The changes were made in response to feedback from the filmmaking team, who wanted the focus to be on the movie. De Niro was not informed of the alterations and criticized both the awards show and Apple for censoring his remarks. A revised version of the speech was delivered to the teleprompter just minutes before the event started, with an Apple employee identified as the person responsible. However, a source close to the film denied censorship and claimed it was a miscommunication. De Niro eventually read his original remarks from his phone, criticizing Trump's lies and actions.
