Woody Allen Responds to Dylan Farrow's Sexual Abuse Claims

Woody Allen has responded to the allegations from his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow that he sexually abused her when she was just 7-years-old.

Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful. He will be responding very soon,” the filmmaker’s rep told Mother Jones in a statement. “At the time, a thorough investigation was conducted by court appointed independent experts. The experts concluded there was no credible evidence of molestation; that Dylan Farrow had an inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality; and that Dylan Farrow had likely been coached by her mother Mia Farrow. No charges were ever filed.”

The new statement comes just after his Blue Jasmine stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin, who were both called out in Dylan‘s open letter, responded to the allegations as well.

Woody Allen joins owner Dylan Lauren (daughter of designer Ralph Lauren) for the relaunch celebration at Dylan’s Candy Bar on Monday in New York City.

The 72-year-old director and wife Soon-Yi Previn brought along their two daughters Bechet and Manzie to DCB.

Dylan’s Candy Bar pioneers the concept of merging the world of art, pop culture, and fashion, with candy. The flagship store is located in New York City, which expanded another 5,000 more square feet (making it largest candy store in the world). It is complete with a full bar offering fun cocktails. The store’s architecture and design is inspired by Warhol, Chihuli, Oldenberg, Koons, Murakami and Lichtenstein.

Bechet Allen Loves Her Six Pack

Woody Allen takes a quick break from directing his new film with Scarlett Johansson to spend some family-bonding time in Barcelona, Spain on Saturday with his wife, Soon-Yi Previn and one their daughters, Bechet, 8.

Ten percent of the budget for “The Barcelona Project” — Woody‘s working title — is being paid by the taxpayers of the city and the region of Catalonia.

Some people of Catalonia are up in arms about it and are having none of it.

P.S. Bechet‘s actually just holding an 8-pack of Fanta soda.
