Woody Allen is interviewing TV for the first time in 30 years. The allegations of abuse by his adopted daughter are also an issue.
Woody Allen (85, “A Rainy Day in New York”) will be seen for the first time in a TV interview next Sunday in around 30 years, which will be broadcast on the Paramount + streaming service. As reported by the British Daily Mail, among others, the conversation is also about the abuse allegations of his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow (35). The interview was recorded by the broadcaster CBS in July 2020, but has not yet been broadcast. The “CBS Sunday Morning” presenter Lee Cowan (55) asked the questions.
The interview will be embedded in a larger Woody Allen documentary special, which will also show the CBS interview by Farrow from 2018 again. In it, she describes in detail that she was allegedly abused by Allen in 1992 when she was seven years old at the time. The filmmaker himself vehemently denies the allegations. A judicial dispute has not yet taken place because the authorities have not been able to find sufficient evidence of the sexual assault.
The Woody Allen special on Paramount Pictures is sort of a response to a new HBO documentary about the familiar allegations that only aired in February. There Farrow renewed the allegations against Allen once again, which have been in the room since 1992. Allen was in a relationship with Dylan’s mother Mia Farrow (75), but later took her adoptive daughter Soon-Yi Previn (50) to the wife, with whom he is still married to this day.
