Woody Allen calls new TV series about alleged abuse of daughter a ‘hatchet job riddled with falsehoods’

Woody Allen has condemned a new documentary series about the alleged sexual abuse of his daughter as a “hatchet job riddled with falsehoods.”

The Academy Award winning director has labelled the HBO series Allen v Farrow a “shoddy hit piece,” but its directors say that people who have previously defended the 85-year-old will “change their minds.”

In the show, Dylan Farrow, his adoptive daughter who claims she was abused as a seven-year-old, said Allen "was able to just run amok," while she was subjected to "every kind of doubt, every kind of scrutiny and every kind of humiliation." 

He has always denied allegations of abuse and has never been arrested or charged over the claims.

The four-part series, the first episode of which aired on Sunday, also examines Allen’s relationship with Soon-Yi Previn — another adoptive daughter of his then-partner Mia Farrow, who is now his wife.

Soon-Yi was 16 when she first met Allen, who is 35 years her senior.

Directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering investigate his attraction to young girls, citing court documents and testimony indicating that Allen had sexual relations with Soon-Yi while she was a minor.

"I think a lot of people, when they see this — even people who right now are defending Woody Allen — I think they will either change their mind or examine things in a much different way," said Mr Dick.

The film also charts the way Allen continued to enjoy seemingly unshakable support from many in the cinema world even as Farrow lost out on roles and, she said, became persona non grata in Hollywood.

It was only in 2017, following the publication of a second op-ed article by Dylan Farrow, and with the very public support of her brother Ronan, that actors and actresses began to turn their backs on the octogenarian director.

In a statement released to Hollywood Reporter, representatives for Allen said: "These documentarians had no interest in the truth. Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods. 

“Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days ‘to respond.’ Of course, they declined to do so.

"As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false. 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. 

“It is sadly unsurprising that the network to air this is HBO – which has a standing production deal and business relationship with Ronan Farrow. While this shoddy hit piece may gain attention, it does not change the facts."
