“I wouldn’t work with him again.” With just six words, Colin Firth generated scores of headlines, as he responded to a Guardian journalist’s query about his views on director Woody Allen.
Allen has been accused of sexual assault by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow. The first time the allegation emerged was shortly after the incident was said to have happened in the early 1990s, when she was seven years old, and allegedly told her mother. The second time was in 2014, when Farrow, then 28, made a similar allegation in an open letter. Allen has vehemently denied the claims for decades; following two investigations, no charges were filed against him.
