Woody Allen Defends Himself & His Track Record With Actresses

Woody Allen is defending himself.

The 83-year-old director spoke out in an interview with France24 after Scarlett Johansson defended the Rainy Day in New York director in a THR cover story.

“I’ve worked with hundreds of actresses [and] not one of them has ever complained about me, not a single complaint. I’ve worked with, employed women in the top capacity, in every capacity, for years and we’ve always paid them exactly the equal of men. I’ve done everything that the #MeToo movement would love to achieve,” he said.

He also said he doesn’t worry about fallout in Hollywood.

“I couldn’t care less. I’ve never worked in Hollywood. I’ve always worked in New York and it doesn’t matter to me for a second. If tomorrow nobody would finance my films and nobody would finance my theater plays or nobody would publish my books, I’d still get up and write because that’s what I do. So I will always work. What happens to it commercially is another matter.”

Dylan Farrow, who alleged for years that her father Woody sexually abused her when she was a child, spoke out against Scarlett Johansson for defending Woody Allen.
