I can't presume to know whether he did or not, there's good reason to believe either. I just don't think about it when I watch his films, which I can still love. It's probably important to note that the resurgence is 100% a PR thing. Firstly, Blue Jasmine's up for a few Oscars (and Cate Blanchett in particular is about extremely likely to win - note how Dylan calls her out by name a couple times in her op-ed) and, well campaigns can get really nasty; and, secondly, Ronan Farrow has a show coming to MSNBC.
Just don't think about it when you watch his movies. He's got some great ones, you wouldn't want that to spoil them.
