The Anti-Defamation League is defending Bradley Cooper’s new film “Maestro” and stating that the prosthetic nose used in the film is not antisemitic.

The organization released a statement following the controversy that sparked that accused Cooper of using “Jewface,” Hollywood’s stereotypical or inauthentic portrayal of Jewish people.

In a statement to Variety and TMZ, the ADL said, “Throughout history, Jews were often portrayed in antisemitic films and propaganda as evil caricatures with large, hooked noses. This film, which is a biopic on the legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein, is not that.”

“Maestro” is set to make its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival before being showcased at the New York Film Festival. It opens in theaters on Nov. 22 and hits Netflix on Dec. 20.
