The 82-year-old director and actor has long denied the allegations. “Why shouldn’t I want to bring him down? Why shouldn’t I be angry?” Farrow said. “Why shouldn’t I be hurt? Why shouldn’t I feel some sort of outrage that after all these years, being ignored and disbelieved and tossed aside?” Allen’s representatives did not comment Wednesday but said they would issue a statement after the interview airs in full Thursday. In an [op-ed](https://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/opinion/sunday/woody-allen-speaks-out.html?hp&rref=opinion&%5Fr=1 "undefined") published in the New York _Times_ in 2014, Allen said he found the claims to be “self-serving” on Farrow’s part and “so ludicrous” that he “didn’t give it a second thought.” “I did not molest Dylan,” he wrote at the time. “I loved her.” Still, Farrow has stuck by her claims. She said it’s the right time to speak out amid Hollywood’s “Me Too” movement against sexual assault and harassment. “All I can do is speak my truth and hope that somebody will believe me,” she told CBS. “I am credible and I am telling the truth and I think it’s important that people realize that one victim, one accuser, matters. And that they are enough to change things.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/"},"headline":"Woody Allen's Daughter Dylan Farrow Says She's Determined to Bring Down Her Father Over Sexual Assault Claims","datePublished":"2018-01-17T15:41:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T11:28:01.889Z","description":"\"Why shouldn’t I want to bring him down?\"","url":"https://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/","keywords":["celebrities","Crime","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte345b49eb227d1d1/6988f87497cdff5e8c6b3f51/dylan-farrow-woody-allen.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte345b49eb227d1d1/6988f87497cdff5e8c6b3f51/dylan-farrow-woody-allen.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Woody Allen [& Family];Mia Farrow [& Family]","caption":"Woody Allen [& Family];Mia Farrow [& Family]","creditText":"Time Life Pictures—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/","name":"Woody Allen's Daughter Dylan Farrow Says She's Determined to Bring Down Her Father Over Sexual Assault Claims"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Timothée Chalamet Donates Woody Allen Movie Salary To Time's Up, RAINN","description":"Timothee Chalamet of Call Me By Your Name announced he’ll donate his salary from Woody Allen’s A Rainy Day in New York to various organizations, following a host of actors who have expressed regret over working with the director.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/X3fDCsyg/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-01-16T15:31:51.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/X3fDCsyg.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/","duration":"PT1M8S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
