Woody Allen’s adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has spoken to “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King for an interview to air Thursday morning, saying that she is “credible” and “telling the truth.”
“I am credible, and I am telling the truth, and I think it’s important that people realize that one victim, one accuser, matters. And that they are enough to change things,” Farrow told King in the interview, which was conducted Monday at Farrow’s Bridgewater, Connecticut, home.
Farrow accused Allen of sexually assaulting her when she was seven years old. Allen has denied the accusations, which Farrow made in 1992.
However, Allen has come under increased scrutiny recently, following sexual misconduct allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein and numerous others.
“We’ve gotten very attached to this concept that in order for a victim or accuser to come forward credibly that they have to be flanked by 49 other people,” Farrow also said in the CBS interview. “This is absolute garbage. It shouldn’t have to be that a small army has to come forward against one person to be credible.”
On Monday, actor Timothee Chalamet announced on Instagram that he is donating his salary from Allen’s film “A Rainy Day in New York” to a trio charities: Time’s UP, the LGBT Center in New York and RAINN, an anti-sexual violence organization.
“I am learning that a good role isn’t the only criteria for accepting a job,” Chalamet said. “That has become much clearer to me in the last few months, having witnessed the birth of a powerful movement intent on ending injustice, inequality and above all, silence.”
