Woody Allen’s sticking to his story.
The filmmaker reiterated his denial of a sexual abuse accusation made by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow during a newly released interview conducted last summer.
Allen, who is accused of molesting Dylan when she was seven, contended during that July 2020 interview with
CBS Sunday Morning that there was “no logic” to the allegation, which led to investigations in 1992.
The interview aired for the first time on March 28 on the Paramount+ streaming service, alongside a previously released interview with Dylan.

While Allen has never formally been charged with the sexual abuse of his then-7-year-old daughter Dylan Farrow, the series makes it clear that he was also definitively not cleared of suspicion, with a 1993 decision not to go to trial hinging upon Dylan’s mental health needs despite an attorney who found “probable cause” to prosecute Allen.
Allen v. Farrow suggests Allen has been celebrated for so long not because of evidence that points towards his innocence, but because of his pre-existing reputation as a beloved filmmaker and his ability to convince media at the time of an alternate version of events. As the series finale airs, one last aspect of Allen’s life that didn’t make it to the doc does seem worth noting as one parses the truth of
