Kate Winslet has gushed about controversial director Woody Allen as she even believes he is 'on some level a woman.'

But his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has since blasted Hollywood for allowing the director to continue working unscathed during the #MeToo movement.

The 32-year-old actress wrote an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times published on Thursday in which she brought back to light her sexual assault allegations against the 82-year-old filmmaker.

Hitting out: However his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has lasted Hollywood for allowing the director to continue working unscathed during the #MeToo movement in a scathing LA Times op-ed piece published Thursday, she is pictured with mother Mia Farrow in April 2016

She had accused Allen of sexual assault when she was just seven years old in the midst of her mother Mia Farrow's split from the filmmaker.

Dylan wrote: 'Why is it that Harvey Weinstein and other accused celebrities have been cast out by Hollywood, while Allen recently secured a multi-million-dollar distribution deal with Amazon, greenlit by former Amazon Studios executive Roy Price before he was suspended over sexual misconduct allegations?'


She noted that while many in showbusiness have been taken down over their accusations, Allen was able to release his latest film Wonder Wheel starring Winslet and Justin Timberlake last week.

Allen has denied these claims for years but Dylan explained: 'But this is not a "he said, child said" situation.

' Allen’s pattern of inappropriate behavior — putting his thumb in my mouth, climbing into bed with me in his underwear, constant grooming and touching — was witnessed by friends and family members.'

Despite the allegations, 42-year-old Winslet has praised the director's ability to create female characters in a new interview with Sydney Morning Herald. Winslet commented: 'I think on some level Woody is a woman.

'I just think he's very in touch with that side of himself. He understands the female characters he creates exceptionally well.'

'His female characters are always so rich and large and honest in terms of how they're feeling and he just knows how to write dialogue for them to communicate all that.'

Allen has had a bit of a dark cloud hanging over his career the past two decades as he was accused of sexual assault by adopted daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992.

Winslet was asked about those allegations by the Los Angeles Times last month but was skittish with her answer.

The Oscar-winning actress said: 'At the end of the day, you look at the facts. He’s an 81-year-old man who went through a two-year court case.

Partnership: The star and director seem to have a good rapport after working together

'As far as I know, he wasn’t convicted of anything. I’m an actor; he’s a director. I don’t know his family. I’ve heard and read exactly what you’ve heard and read. I know as much as you do. That’s all I can say.'

Back in 1993, sexual misconduct allegations emerged after Allen's split with Mia Farrow as he was accused of abusing their adopted daughter Dylan when she was seven.

The legendary actress had split with the famed director after having discovered he was having an affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn.

Soon-Yi married in 1997 and are still together to this day. They have two adopted children together.

Moved on: Mia Farrow had split with the famed director after having discovered he was having an affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. They were married in 1997 and are still together today, as they are pictured together in New York back in September 2016

An investigation was launched but later dropped with no charges made against Allen. He has always vehemently denied the claims.

Dylan repeated the claims in a 2014 blog post, and was supported by brother Ronan Farrow who also criticized the media for not questioning Allen more closely.

Ronan was instrumental in bringing the allegations against Harvey Weinstein to light, interviewing 13 women who alleged he had harassed or attacked them.

Ronan's exposé on Hollywood mogul Weinstein was published back in October in the New Yorker and has since brought forth dozens of accusations against the likes of Kevin Spacey and Matt Lauer.

This also began the #MeToo social media movement.

Wonder Wheel’s David Krumholtz ‘Deeply Regrets’ Working With Woody Allen

Actor David Krumholtz (The Deuce, Numbers) has spoken out on Twitter against director Woody Allen. Krumholtz co-starred in the filmmaker’s most recent film Wonder Wheel, opposite Kate Winslet, Jim Belushi and Justin Timberlake. “I deeply regret working with Woody Allen on Wonder Wheel,” Krumholtz tweet. “It’s one of my most heartbreaking mistakes. We can no longer let these men represent us in entertainment, politics, or any other realm. They are beneath real men.”



Woody Allen has been accused of sexually abusing his daughter Dylan Farrow. Allen’s son Ronan Farrow, who authored the damning New Yorker report about Harvey Weinstein, wrote an essay about his sister’s alleged experience in 2016. Ronan reported witnessing his father behave inappropriately toward his sister and wrote, “I believe my sister.”

Allen has denied the allegations.

In the past, actors including Winslet and Miley Cyrus have offered clumsy defenses for working with Allen.

Everything We Learned From Woody Allen’s Controversial Memoir
By Hunter Harris@hunteryharris

In his new memoir, Apropos of Nothing, Woody Allen recounts his relationship with ex-partner Mia Farrow, his affair with Farrow’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, and his own adopted daughter Dylan Farrow’s molestation accusation against him. “I knew Mia was fond of telling people I had molested her underage daughter when in fact Soon-Yi was twenty-two, and of course our love, which has resulted in a marriage of over twenty years, was hardly molestation,” he writes of Mia Farrow’s anger upon learning of the affair with her adopted daughter. Much of the book’s argument is what Allen has said for decades: His relationship with Mia allowed him to live as a bachelor across town, he was uninterested in her adopted children until he struck up a friendship with college-aged Soon-Yi, and that Dylan’s accusation is the result of her mother’s influence and rage. “There are still loonies who think I married my daughter, who think Soon-Yi was my child, who think Mia was my wife, who think I adopted Soon-Yi, who think that Obama wasn’t American. But there was never any trial. I was never charged with anything, as it was clear to the investigators nothing had ever occurred.” Here is everything Allen says about the discovery of his affair with Soon-Yi and the molestation allegation.
His relationship with Soon-Yi developed during the filming of Husbands and Wives.
Mia Farrow starred in 12 of Woody Allen’s films. Husbands and Wives (1992), about a pair of married couples whose relationships weather separate infidelities, was their final collaboration. (Allen also counts the movie as one of his best.) Allen says Farrow discovered his relationship with Soon-Yi toward the end of the movie’s production, which made filming the last week of shooting particularly tense.

While I was filming the movie Husbands and Wives, Soon- Yi and I started an affair. An affair that began the next time she came in from college. Passionate from that day on, it has resulted now in many happy years and a wonderful family. Who would have predicted? I only knew she was not the nonentity her mother had dismissed and written off. How wrong Mia was. Here was a sharp, classy, fabulous young woman; highly intelligent, full of latent potential, and ready to ripen superbly if only someone would show her a little interest, a little support, and, most important, some love. We spent a few afternoons walking and talking, delighting in each other’s company and, of course, going to bed.

Allen says Mia Farrow made-up the molestation accusation to get back at him for his affair with Soon-Yi.
Farrow was vicious after she discovered nude photos of Soon-Yi in Allen’s apartment, Allen says. She was shocked by the affair, even though he claims their relationship had peaked many years earlier. (More than once, and for no apparent reason, Allen reports that Farrow had a crush on director Mike Nichols.) In her rage, she threatened to ruin Allen’s life more than once. On a scheduled visit to Connecticut to see their kids, he says she found an opportunity.

What had happened was that during my visit, while Mia had gone shopping, after explaining to everyone that I had to be watched carefully, all the kids and the babysitters were in the den watching TV, a room full of people. There were no seats for me, so I sat on the floor and might have leaned my head back on the sofa on Dylan’s lap for a moment. I certainly didn’t do anything improper to her. I was in a room full of people watching TV midafternoon. Alison, the nervous babysitter for Mia’s friend’s children — prompted by Mia to be hypervigilant — reported to her employer, Casey, that at one point I had my head on Dylan’s lap. Even if so, it was utterly harmless and totally appropriate. No one said I molested Dylan, but when Casey phoned Mia the following day and said her babysitter reported my head was on Dylan’s lap, Mia ran to Dylan. According to Monica, the nanny, she said, “I’ve got him.” The head on the lap would over time somehow metamorphosize into my molesting her in the attic, but that reenactment of Dory Previn’s song scenario would come later.

Allen maintains his innocence.
Allen completely denies Dylan Farrow’s telling of events that afternoon in Connecticut. Instead, he says, Mia manipulated his daughter into claiming he molested her and coached her through her testimony after rehearsing it on tape.

I never laid a finger on Dylan, never did anything to her that could be even misconstrued as abusing her; it was a total fabrication from start to finish, every subatomic particle of it, no different from I’m the Goglia character. The sheer illogic seemed to me dispositive. I mean, it makes no sense why a fifty-seven-year-old man who has never been accused of a single impropriety in his life, while in the midst of a contentious and very public custody fight, drives up to the hostile environment of the country home belonging to the woman who hates him most, and in a house full of people sympathetic to her, this man, who is thrilled as he has just recently found the serious love of his life, a woman he’d go on to marry and have a family with, would suddenly choose that time and place to become a child molester and abuse his seven-year-old daughter whom he loved. It defied simple common sense. Especially since I had been alone with Dylan many times in my apartment over the years, and if I were actually a fiend, I had ample opportunities to act like one. Yet it makes perfect sense for the angry woman who had announced she would take away my daughter and had a plan worse than death for me, to resort to the single most common cliché of custody warfare, accusing the spouse of abusing the child.

Allen says he “would welcome Dylan with open arms.”
Though Allen denies her molestation accusation, he is dismayed by the strain on his relationship with his daughter, which he says is the result of Mia Farrow’s manipulation.

One of the saddest things of my life was that I was deprived of the years of raising Dylan and could only dream about showing her Manhattan and the joys of Paris and Rome. To this day, Soon-Yi and I would welcome Dylan with open arms if she’d ever want to reach out to us as Moses did, but so far that’s still only a dream.

Dylan Farrow accused Allen of molesting her in a New York Times open letter in 2014. In 2018, amid Hollywood’s Me Too reckoning after revelations about Harvey Weinstein, she recounted the allegations on CBS This Morning: “He instructed me to lay down on my stomach and play with my brother’s toy train that was set up,” Farrow said. “He sat behind me in the doorway, and as I played with the toy train, I was sexually assaulted … As a 7-year-old I would say, I would have said he touched my private parts.”

Kate Winslet Now ‘Regrets’ Working With Woody Allen and Roman Polanski
By Justin Curto@justinmcurto

Kate Winslet has many fucks left to give — 19, exactly, in a new Vanity Fair interview — and she’s devoted three of them to questioning her own past collaborations with alleged sexual abuser Woody Allen and convicted rapist Roman Polanski. “It’s like, what the fuck was I doing working with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski?” she asked. “It’s unbelievable to me now how those men were held in such high regard, so widely in the film industry and for as long as they were. It’s fucking disgraceful.” Winslet starred in Polanski’s movie Carnage in 2011 and Allen’s Wonder Wheel in 2017. In 2018, she alluded to “regrets” about working with people whom she wouldn’t name at the time. Her new comments came as part of a conversation about her role in the Me Too movement. “I have to take responsibility for the fact that I worked with them both,” Winslet said. “I can’t turn back the clock. I’m grappling with those regrets but what do we have if we aren’t able to just be fucking truthful about all of it?”
Winslet also discussed taking her role in Ammonite, the upcoming period romance with Saoirse Ronan. “Ammonite has made me really aware of being even more committed to honoring what women want to be saying for themselves in films and how we really want to be portrayed, regardless of sexual orientation,” Winslet said. “Because life is fucking short and I’d like to do my best when it comes to setting a decent example to younger women. We’re handing them a pretty fucked up world, so I’d like to do my bit in having some proper integrity.”

Kate Winslet Reveals ‘Some Bitter Regrets’ About Working With a Certain Man in Hollywood
By Hunter Harris@hunteryharris

Kate Winslet seems to have addressed sexual-abuse allegations against her Wonder Wheel director Woody Allen. While accepting a prize at the London Critics’ Circle film awards, Winslet alluded to Allen, who has been accused of molesting his daughter Dylan Farrow: “I wouldn’t be able to stand here this evening, and keep to myself some bitter regrets that I have at poor decisions to work with individuals with whom I wish I had not.”
After taking a moment to compose herself, Winslet added: “It has become clear to me that by not saying anything, I might be adding to the anguish of many courageous women and men. Sexual abuse is a crime. While it rests with the rule of law to pass judgment, it lies with all of us to listen to the smallest of voices and to never stop listening.” Winslet then told the audience that many have been reluctant to say something earlier for fear of saying the wrong thing: “Those who do have a voice are becoming afraid to say anything, because of intense scrutiny and criticism,” she said. “Nobody should be exempt from having a right to speak in support of vulnerable people. There are those who can speak so powerfully for those who are not able to do so themselves, and let us please not make this about which people express public regret.”
Earlier in this awards season, Winslet told the New York Times that she couldn’t address the allegations, as she didn’t know “whether any of it is true or false.”

See video of Winslet’s remarks below.





Although Winslet starred in The Reader, a movie distributed by Harvey Weinstein, she condemned him in October.

Dylan Farrow Addresses Footage of 7-Year-Old Self Alleging Child Abuse in Allen v. Farrow
By Halle Kiefer@hallekiefer
Photo: HBO

On Sunday, Dylan Farrow released a statement about the heretofore unseen video of herself as a child disclosing her allegations of sexual abuse against director Woody Allen to her mother Mia Farrow, which aired as part of the second episode of HBO’s Allen v. Farrow. “I’m writing this, because to be totally honest I have been losing sleep and overcome with anxiety,” she wrote in a statement, which she also posted to Twitter. “Tonight’s episode of the Allen v. Farrow docuseries features a video of me as a seven-year-old child disclosing my abuse to my mother. My mother gave me this video when I became an adult to do whatever I wanted with it. It shows me as I was then, a young, vulnerable child. ‘Little Dylan,’ whom I’ve tried ever since to protect.”

The video itself was reportedly recorded on August 5, 1992, the day after Farrow alleges Woody Allen molested her. According to the Hollywood Reporter, a seven-year-old Dylan can be heard saying, “He touched [my] privates. And then he was breathing on my leg. And then he squeezed me too hard, that I couldn’t breathe.” Mia Farrow claims she filmed her daughter’s accusation after a babysitter, Alison Strickland, alleged she had walked in on Allen with his face in Dylan’s lap.

“Personally, I had, for decades, pushed ‘Little Dylan’ away as a coping mechanism,” Dylan Farrow continues in her statement. “So part of my goal in allowing her to now speak is also to try and find some healing for me and my childhood self. It’s an attempt to make them whole again, and find some peace and closure.”

Writes Farrow, “If you watch this video, I very much hope you will do so with empathy, compassion, and an open mind and heart and not use this as an oppportunity to attack, turn away, criticize, mock or to future shun ‘Little Dylan’ and in doing so shame and silence the millions of abused children who are suffering in the world today. This is the most vulnerable part of who I am.”

Woody Allen has denied the allegations made against him since they became public during his custody battle with Mia Farrow that same year. “As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false,” a statement released last weekend by the director and wife Soon-Yi Previn said in response to the first episode of Allen v. Farrow. “Multiple agencies investigated them at the time and found that, whatever Dylan Farrow may have been led to believe, absolutely no abuse had ever taken place.”
