Dylan Farrow spoke out in her first television interview on CBS This MorningThursday about the sexual abuse she's long claimed she suffered at the hands of her father, Woody Allen. Farrow first wrote publicly about the abuse allegations in The New York Times in 2014 saying, "What's your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: When I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother's electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me."
She replayed that scene this morning for Gayle King, going on to say that Allen was inappropriate at other times, following her around the house, with constant cuddling and touching. Behavior, she says, he did not display with her younger brother, Ronan. "He often asked me to get into bed with him when he had only his underwear on and sometimes when only I had my underwear on." The director has always insisted that there is no truth to the allegations and continues to do so, saying in a statement to CBS, "I never molested my daughter—as all investigations concluded a quarter of a century ago." His claim has long been that Farrow was coached by her mother, Mia Farrow. No criminal charges were ever filed. Farrow steadfastly stands by her story, saying, "He's lying. He's been lying for so long."
Farrow has expressed gratitude to those who have stood by her, including Natalie Portman, who said on CBS Sunday Morning, "I believe Dylan." Reese Witherspoon soon echoed those sentiments on Twitter. In recent weeks a number of actors, including Timothée Chalamet, Greta Gerwig, and Rebecca Hall, have apologized for working with Allen in the past, with some donating their salaries to charities that help abuse victims.
