Woody Allen broke a long-running television silence in an interview with CBS, in which he responded to allegations that he sexually assaulted his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow while she was seven - "it's so ridiculous that he shouldn't even have opened an investigation."

Moments after HBO finished airing the four episodes of "Allen vs. Farrow" in the United States, Woody Allen decided to break a television silence and give a rare interview - an option that the creators of the docu-series offered him at the time, but he did not respond.
The interview aired today (Sunday morning US time), and it addressed allegations in the series that he sexually assaulted his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, while she was seven, and then used his connections to whitewash the crime and silence her and her adoptive mother, his ex-partner Mia Farrow .
The interview was broadcast on CBS, which of course received a lot of criticism for the conversation itself, as well as for its framing.
Immediately after, a conversation with Dylan Farrow aired, and presenter Lee Kavan turned to viewers and said - here are the two versions, now you decide what the truth is.
In addition, as someone who watched the broadcast, I must say that the interviewers' attitude toward Allen was more sympathetic and less aggressive than the one they demonstrated toward his daughter.
Reminder: Allen's sin, according to Mia Farrow's testimony and evidence and supporting evidence, is square.
First, he developed an obsession with their adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, and sexually assaulted her when she was seven;
Second, he sent his nails to her other adopted daughter, Sun Yi Parvin, and as a minor, photographed her pornographically and began having a relationship with her (they later became husband and wife, and live together to this day);
Third, he has never taken responsibility for any of this, and continues to deny his actions to this moment;
And fourth, he uses his power as one of the most esteemed people in Hollywood to run off a pressure road and silence her and anyone who speaks against him.

I admired Woody Allen, but the series about him made it clear to me that he was guilty of it

"Why would a 57-year-old, who had never been charged with anything, suddenly attack a seven-year-old?"
Said Allen in an interview.
"And why would I do that during a fight over custody in front of her mother? It's so ridiculous that I didn't even have to investigate."
"I believe in Dylan," Allen added.
"She was a good girl, and I believe she believes it. She does not invent, she does not lie, she believes it," he declared, referring to his version of the story - since the allegations were published, he claims Mia Farrow has washed Dylan's mind as part of revenge Its in him after their separation.
"I have never even slept in Mia's house," he remarked dismissively when asked to discuss Dylan's mother.
"Our relationship was not supposed to develop into a marriage. It was a comfortable relationship."
Like Farrow, many of the actors who have worked with Allen in the past have stated that they will never work with him again.
"They're stupid," he said of it.
"Their intentions may be good, but they perpetuate a lie and join the pursuit of an innocent person."
Finally, Alan also talked about his relationship with Sun Ye Parvin, which began when she was a minor.
"The morality police, who determine what is right and what is wrong, would actually stand by my side, saying that most of the women I went out with in my life were 'at the right age,'" he remarked, noting exes like Mia Farrow and Diane Keaton.
"Sun Yi is extraordinary, and if I were told I would marry an Asian younger than me, who did not come from the show-biz, I would say there was no chance - but it happened, and that's the deepest connection I've had."

Then came Farrow's turn, which to the delight of CBS could not stop the tears and burst into tears in the middle of the interview.
"I loved my dad, and it made his injury much harder," she declared.
"He took me to the attic, ordered me to lie on my stomach and then lay behind me and sexually assaulted me. He would also ask me to lie next to him in bed, while he was in his underwear and when I was in my underwear."
"He lies all the time," she added in tears.
"It's hard for me to hear his voice and see it. Who can buy his story that my mother brainwashed me? How is that more credible than my testimony? My mother never instructed me in any way."

Dylan Farrow also referred to the fact that at the time, the case did not go to court because it depended on her testimony, and the prosecutor did not want to cause her further trauma and bring her to the stand at her young age and fragile condition.
"In retrospect," she said, "I wish they had called me to testify. I was traumatized anyway."
