Woody Allen Wants To Be 'Poster Boy' For #MeToo Movement Despite Accusations

Woody Allen is speaking out about his thoughts on the #MeToo movement and why he thinks he should be the poster boy.

The 82-year-old director says that he believe the movement is “a good thing” because it brings “justice” to abusers in Hollywood.

“I feel when they find people who harass innocent women and men, it’s a good thing that they’re exposing them. But you know I, I should be the poster boy for the Me Too movement. Because I have worked in movies for 50 years. I’ve worked with hundreds of actresses and not a single one – big ones, famous ones, ones starting out – have ever ever suggested any kind of impropriety at all. I’ve always had a wonderful record with them,” Woody told Periodismo Para Todos.

Despite Woody‘s thoughts, he’s found himself at the middle of the movement following daughter Dylan Farrow‘s sexual abuse claims against him.

“What bothers me is that I get linked with them. People who have been accused by 20 women, 50 women, 100 women of abuse and abuse and abuse— and I, who was only accused by one woman in a child custody case which was looked at and proven to be untrue, I get lumped in with these people,” Woody said of Dylan‘s claims.

He added, “This is something that has been thoroughly looked at 25 years ago by all the authorities and everybody came to the conclusion that it was untrue. And that was the end and I’ve gone on with my life. For it to come back now, it’s a terrible thing to accuse a person of. I’m a man with a family and my own children. So of course it’s upsetting.”
