Robert De Niro won’t be receiving the Service to America Leadership Award from the NAB Leadership Foundation after all.
“While we strongly support the right of every American to exercise free speech and participate in civic engagement, it is clear that Mr. De Niro’s recent high-profile activities will create a distraction from the philanthropic work that we were hoping to recognize,” said NAB spokesman Alex Siciliano in a statement, confirming that the award has been rescinded.
“To maintain the focus on service of the award winners, Mr. De Niro will no longer be attending the event.”
The Celebration of Service to America Awards will be held at a venue in Washington next Tuesday.
