Los Angeles: Filmmaker Woody Allen has addressed the allegations of sexual assault made towards him by daughter Dylan Farrow.
“Nothing that I ever did with Dylan in my life could be misconstrued as that,” Allen says in a now-released interview that passed off final 12 months,
“Why would a guy who’s 57 years old? I never was accused of anything in my life, I’m suddenly going to drive up in the middle of a contentious custody fight at Mia’s country home (with) a seven-year-old girl. It just — on the surface, I didn’t think it required any investigation, even,” the 85-year-old mentioned within the interview, which aired on “CBS Sunday Morning show” on March 28, as reported by People journal.
“It’s so preposterous, and yet the smear has remained. They still prefer to cling to if not the notion that I molested Dylan, the possibility that I molested her,” Allen added.
The allegations of kid and sexual abuse towards Farrow had been first made by the then-seven-year-old Dylan in 1992, shortly after the filmmaker’s cut up from actress Mia Farrow.
Since Allen’s interview passed off final 12 months, it doesn’t tackle any of the claims made within the four-part documentary sequence, titled “Allen v Farrow”, which began streaming on HBO Max just lately.
