After Woody Allen’s adopted daughter Dylan Farrow on Saturday resurfaced her claims that Allen molested her as a child, representatives of Allen responded to the accusations.
“Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful. He will be responding very soon,” Allen’s publicist Leslee Dart said in a statement to Mother Jones.
“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.”
Allen’s attorney, Elkan Abramowitz, also denied Farrow’s claims to Mother Jones.
“It is tragic that after 20 years a story engineered by a vengeful lover resurfaces after it was fully vetted and rejected by independent authorities. The one to blame for Dylan’s distress is neither Dylan nor Woody Allen,” Abramowitz said.
