Hollywood star Drew Barrymore recently revealed that she regrets her time working with filmmaker Woody Allen years ago and praised Dylan Farrow for speaking out against him.
According to Fox News, the actor, who entered the talk show arena in 2020, said on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' on Monday that she was "gaslit" into working with the Oscar winner. She made the revelation to her guest Dylan Farrow, the adoptive daughter of the disgraced director.
Speaking about working with Woody Allen, she said: "I did a film with him in 1996 called 'Everyone Says I Love You' and there was no higher career calling card than to work with Woody Allen."
Barrymore said she became regretful years later when she became a mother.
Barrymore said, "Then I had children, and it changed me because I realised that I was one of the people who was basically gaslit into not looking at a narrative beyond what I was being told. And I see what is happening in the industry now and that is because of you making that brave choice. So thank you for that."
Barrymore was referring to Dylan's allegations that Allen molested her as a child. The allegations and family divide were explored in the HBO documentary series 'Allen v. Farrow', released earlier this year. Dylan's mother, Mia Farrow, and her brother Ronan Farrow, also participated in the series. Allen has denied the allegations for almost 30 years and Mia declined to press charges at the time.
