Scarlett Johansson Defends Supporting Woody Allen Amid Abuse Scandal
Scarlett Johansson maintains her belief in Woody Allen despite industry backlash and reflects on the uncertain impact of her support on her career and relationships.
- Earlier this year, Scarlett Johansson, actress, told The Daily Telegraph she isn’t sure if supporting Woody Allen affected her career, saying `I guess it's hard to know,` after working with him on three films.
- The allegations, first raised in 1992, involve Dylan Farrow accusing Woody Allen of abuse, which he denies; the #MeToo movement deepened Hollywood's distancing from him.
- In 2019 Johansson told The Hollywood Reporter she believed Woody Allen and would work with him again, adding she has had direct, candid conversations with him about the allegations.
- She noted past legal fights, including a suit against Disney in 2021 that ended with a $40 million settlement and raised concerns about a ChatGPT voice dispute resembling hers, The Daily Telegraph reported.
- In recent years, Allen has struggled to secure U.S. distribution, prompting Sony Pictures Classics to step in, while Michael Caine, Timothée Chalamet and Greta Gerwig have expressed regret, leaving Scarlett Johansson among few defenders.
