Dylan Farrow, Woody Allen’s Accuser, Says #MeToo Movement Is ‘Selective’
Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Woody Allen who has alleged
that he sexually abused her as a child, questioned in an article published this week why Mr. Allen had escaped the consequences of the widespread social backlash that was set off by the fall of the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Ms. Farrow, writing in an opinion piece published in The Los Angeles Times, also alleged
that those who worked for Mr. Allen, including people in the movie industry and actors in Mr. Allen’s movies, have covered up for him or turned a blind eye.
Why is it that Harvey Weinstein and other accused celebrities have been cast out by Hollywood, while Allen recently secured a multimillion-dollar
distribution deal with Amazon, greenlit by former Amazon Studios executive Roy Price before he was suspended over sexual misconduct allegations?
She referred to the #MeToo movement, which arose after the allegations against Mr. Weinstein were reported in
and The New Yorker in October and in which women shared stories of sexual assault and accusations ranging from inappropriate text messages to rape.
