The director calls Dylan's abuse claim a 'false allegation but a great tabloid drama' and says he 'cannot let it bother me.'
Woody Allen calls daughter Dylan Farrow’s accusation that he sexually abused her as a child “a false allegation but a great tabloid drama” in a new interview with the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
‘Timothée told my sister [the film producer Letty Aronson] it was important for him to say what he did at the time because he was nominated for an Academy Award and he needed to steer clear of any association,” Allen tells the newspaper of actor Timothée Chalamet, who donated his salary from A Rainy Day in New York to Time’s Up. “It was a tactical thing.”
“I don’t feel vindicated because that is to imply I was concerned and — I don’t wish to seem callous — but I am not,” he says. “Of course I am aware I am the subject of gossip and scandal, but I cannot let it bother me. I live my life. I work. I play jazz. I watch sports. I see my friends. I don’t look up and I don’t read anything.
“I admit, it didn’t make sense when our relationship started,” he says of his 22-year marriage. “On the surface we looked like an irrational match. I was much older and she was an adopted kid.
