""My reaction has always been the same," Allen told Variety in an interview published this week. "The situation has been investigated by ... two major investigative bodies. And both, after long detailed investigations, concluded there was no merit to these charges. ... The fact that it lingers on always makes me think that maybe people like the idea that it lingers on. You know, maybe there's something appealing to people.""
"The embattled "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan" director has been ousted from Hollywood's good graces since the resurgence of sexual abuse allegations by daughter Dylan - whom Allen adopted with then-partner Mia Farrow. Farrow also adopted Soon-Yi with the late German composer André Previn. The exact timeline of Allen's relationship with Soon-Yi, who has maintained she never regarded him in a paternal manner, has been the subject of dispute between the couple and Farrow."
Woody Allen and wife Soon‑Yi Previn walked the red carpet at the Venice International Film Festival with their daughters Bechet and Manzie for the premiere of Allen's 50th film. Coup de Chance received a three‑minute standing ovation while also drawing protests. Allen described feeling lucky, citing loving parents, good friends, a supportive wife and two children. Sexual abuse allegations by daughter Dylan resurfaced and contributed to Allen's ostracism in Hollywood. Two major investigative bodies conducted long, detailed investigations and concluded there was no merit to the charges. Contact with Dylan or Ronan Farrow remains unresolved.
