Overview
- Johansson told The Daily Telegraph she cannot say whether defending Allen cost her work or friendships, calling any fallout a "domino effect" that is difficult to trace.
- She said she was raised to value integrity and to stand up for her beliefs, while also learning to recognize when it is "not your turn" to speak.
- The actor previously worked with Allen on Match Point (2005), Scoop (2006) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) and has reiterated that she believes his denials.
- Dylan Farrow has accused Allen of sexually abusing her as a child, allegations he has long denied; New York authorities investigated and dismissed the claims and he has not been charged.
- Reaction in Hollywood remains divided, with some past collaborators expressing regret and others, including Diane Keaton and Javier Bardem, continuing to defend him as Allen faces ongoing U.S. distribution challenges.
