Woody Allen’s estranged daughter has blasted Cate Blanchett and Blake Lively for working with the controversial filmmaker while supporting efforts combating sexual misconduct.
On Thursday, Dylan Farrow, who claims Woody molested her as a child, called out Cate after she saw a New York Times Arts Twitter message referring to the actress as “a vocal campaigner against sexual harassment”.
“Can one be a ‘vocal campaigner against sexual harassment’ and a vocal supporter of Woody Allen?” she asked. “Seems a tad oxymoronic.”
She went on to lash out at Blake on social media after the actress voiced her support for the Time’s Up campaign, which has been set up to help victims of sexual harassment afford legal support.
“I’m honored to be a part of this movement,” The Shallows star wrote. “The time is NOW! Go to http://timesupnow.com if you need legal support or if you want to donate ANY amount you can.”
Her statement irked Dylan, who pointed out: “You worked with my abuser, @blakelively. Am I a woman who matters too?”
Lively appeared in Allen’s 2016 film Cafe Society, while Blanchett earned an Oscar for her role in his 2014 movie Blue Jasmine.
Blake has addressed Farrow’s accusations against Woody previously, insisting she couldn’t comment on them because she does not know the details.
“It’s very dangerous to factor in things you don’t know anything about,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 2016. “I could (only) know my experience. And my experience with Woody is he’s empowering to women.”
And Cate previously insisted she hoped the director’s daughter and other members of her family could resolve their issues.
“It’s obviously been a long and painful situation for the family, and I hope they find some resolution and peace,” she said.
Allen has repeatedly denied his daughter’s allegations, which have been supported publicly by her brother Ronan and mother Mia Farrow.
