Woody Allen addressed the allegations of sexual assault made
against him by daughter <a href="https://opoyi.com/its-my-fault-mia-farrow-reveals-shocking-details-about-woody-allen-calls-him-great-regret">Dylan Farrow in a 2020 interview </a>with CBS Sunday
Morning, which has just now been released, reports people.com.,The interview, which began streaming on Paramount+ on March
28, was recorded last July, following the release of the director's memoir
Apropos of Nothing, according to the network. ,As Allen's interview was recorded prior to the release of
HBO's docu-series<a href="https://opoyi.com/valentines-day-five-times-cinema-redefined-the-meaning-of-love"> ‘Allen v. Farrow’,</a> it does not address any specific claims
made against Allen in the series. ,Addressing the allegation, Allen, who has long denied
abusing Dylan, said, "Nothing that I ever did with Dylan in my life could
be misconstrued as that." ,The allegations against Farrow, made by a then-7-year-old
Dylan, were first reported during his 1992 split from Mia Farrow. Allen was not
charged, though a Connecticut prosecutor said there was probable cause for a
criminal case.,"Why would a guy who's 57 years old? I never was
accused of anything in my life, I'm suddenly going to drive up in the middle of
a contentious custody fight at Mia's country home (with) a 7-year-old girl. It
just – on the surface, I didn't think it required any investigation,
even," Allen, 85, told CBS' Lee Cowan in the interview.,"It's so preposterous, and yet the smear has remained.
And they still prefer to cling to if not the notion that I molested Dylan, the
possibility that I molested her. Nothing that I ever did with Dylan in my life
could be misconstrued as that," Allen added.,In the four-part HBO docuseries, Dylan recounted the
"intense" and "grueling" evaluations she underwent as a
child shortly after she accused Allen of sexually abusing her,During the 2020 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Allen
said that he doesn't believe Dylan is "lying.","I believe she thinks it. She was a good kid. I do not
believe that she's making it up. I don't believe she's lying. I believe she
believes that," said Allen, who has long maintained that Dylan was coached
by Mia.,The CBS Sunday Morning interview also included Dylan's 2018

Woody Allen addresses Dylan Farrow abuse allegations, says she isn't lying

New Delhi, Delhi, India

Actress Mia Farrow revealed her biggest regret of life and it’s the introduction of director-writer Woody Allen to her family. On Sunday's premiere episode of the HBO docuseries ‘Allen v. Farrow’, the 76-year-old actress speaks about falling for Allen, 85, at the start of their relationship, and her daughter Dylan's accusations of sexual abuse against the <a href="https://opoyi.com/namaste-wahala-and-other-cross-cultural-love-stories-to-watch-this-valentines-day">Oscar winner</a>. ,"That's the great regret of my life, that I wasn't perceptive enough. It's my fault. I brought this guy into my family. There's nothing I can do to take that away,”Mia says in the docuseries, reports people.com.,"I get why people can't believe it because who on Earth could believe that of Woody Allen?" she adds. "I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. Everybody admired Woody so much, loved him, and I did too.",“Allen v. Farrow” is a four-part docuseries with new episodes airing on HBO ,In the docuseries, <a href="https://opoyi.com/juno-star-comes-out-as-transgender">Mia says</a> she approached Allen about conceiving a child together, to which she says the filmmaker agreed on the condition that he could come and go as he pleased with no parental attachments. When the two couldn't conceive a baby, Mia says she asked Allen how he would feel about adopting a child.,Allen's further response, Mia alleges, was a portentous one. "He said if I wanted to do that that it wouldn't ruin the relationship but that he wanted nothing to do with it," she claims in the docuseries. ,"I thought, 'That's fair.' He knew the kind of children that I adopted that were all from different countries with different needs. He said, 'I might be more kindly predisposed if it was a little blonde girl.' I thought if he cares about that I should try to find a little girl like that and maybe he'll love her. I eventually ended up with a little blonde girl and that was baby Dylan.",After Dylan's adoption, Mia and Allen conceived their son, Ronan Farrow.

Farrow. ,When Mia told Allen she was uncomfortable with the way he treated Dylan, she says he became angry.,"It was as if I'd accused him of being an ax murderer. I was crying and I apologized. And sometimes he would say, 'I honestly think you need help.' And I began thinking, 'I must be crazy. He can't be a pedophile.' I wanted to believe that he was not capable of what I feared,”Mia says in the docuseries. ,In December 1991, Allen legally adopted Dylan and about a month later, Mia says she found "pornographic" polaroids of her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, in Allen's apartment.,When asked about the photographs, he said, "First he said, 'I'm in love with Soon-Yi, I would marry her’. Then he said, 'No, I just said that it's something I thought of in the car, I thought it would make it better if I put it that way. No, I love you.'
