Dylan Farrow Called Out Justin Timberlake for Working With Woody Allen By Using His Own Tweet Against Him

Dylan Farrow has called out Justin Timberlake for working with her adoptive father Woody Allen, who she accused of sexually assaulting her as a child more than 20 years ago.

After Timberlake tweeted a joking question about the meaning of having your cake and eating it too, Farrow responded by criticizing him for supporting the Time’s Up movement while praising a “sexual predator.” Timberlake wore a Time’s Up pin to the 2018 Golden Globes after starring in Allen’s 2017 film Wonder Wheel.

“Random question: Can someone please explain the saying, ‘You just want your cake and to eat it too,'” Timberlake wrote. “What else am I about to do with a cake??”

“The saying means, for example, you can’t support #TIMESUP and praise sexual predators at the same time” Farrow replied. “You can’t retain your credibility as an activist (i.e. – retain the cake) and, at the same time, praise a sexual predator (i.e. – eating the cake).”

Allen has always denied the allegations brought against him by Farrow.
