As the reverberations of #MeToo have swept across Hollywood and the globe, one person who’s been central—albeit silent—to much of the conversation is Woody Allen.
His estranged son, Ronan Farrow, shared a Pulitzer prize for his New Yorker investigations into alleged serial abuser Harvey Weinstein. Meanwhile, many of the actors Allen has cast—including Greta Gerwig, Ellen Page, and Timothy Chalamet—have expressed various forms of regret about working with the director in spite of the allegations from his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, that he sexually abused her 25 years ago. Allen was never formally charged, though the judge in the New York case described the Allen’s behavior towards Dylan as “grossly inappropriate.”
Last night, Allen finally broke his silence on the topic on the Argentinian news program Periodismo Para Todos, “journalism for all.” Investigative journalist Jorge Lanata interviewed Allen on a range of topics from the allegations facing him as well as the Me Too movement at large. And Allen had much to say.
On the allegations coming from Dylan Farrow, Allen says he was distressed that they had been resurfaced in the wake of the Me Too movement.
