In his first interview in 30 years, Woody Allen returns to flatly deny the allegations of harassment against his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow.
Telling CBS News microphones not to speak to Dylan since the allegations first surfaced, Allen explains that he doesn't want to question the fact that Dylan thinks she has been abused.
"I don't think he's making it up, I don't think he's lying. I think he believes it," the director tells Lee Cowan in an interview recorded in July 2020 but only aired now.
Allegations of harassment of Dylan surfaced after the separation from Mia Farrow, with whom he has three children, Ron and two adopted children, Moses and Dylan.
Complicating the separation was Allen's relationship with another of Farrow's adopted daughters, Soo-Yi Previn.
Allen moved Soo-Yi in 1997 and the couple adopted two girls who are now in college: "They wouldn't have given two girls to a person they thought was a pedophile," says Allen, explaining that he didn't feel the need to apologize. for his relationship with Soo-Yi.
The director then focuses on his 'atypical' relationship with Mia Farrow.
"I've never lived with Mia. I've never slept at her house in all the years we've seen each other."
The interview follows the four-episode "Allen vs. Farrow" miniseries on Hbo, which contains unedited elements of a decades-long legal and image battle that regained momentum in 2017. When, in the wake of #MeToo, Dylan returned to reiterate the accusations by pushing several Hollywood actors to stop working with Allen.
