Dylan Farrow responds to Woody Allen defense

Hollywood legend Woody Allen responded to his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow’s accusations of childhood molestation in a New York Times op-ed.

Woody Allen chose to respond in the same publication in which Dylan Farrow made the claim a week ago.

“Of course, I did not molest Dylan,” the film-maker wrote.

Dylan Farrow immediately responded with her own counterclaim, saying: “Nothing he says or writes can change the truth.”

Woody Allen, 78, claimed the entire scandal was orchestrated by Dylan’s adopted mother Mia Farrow.

The film director and Mia Farrow were in a lengthy relationship that ended bitterly in 1992.

Dylan Farrow wrote, through a spokesman: “His op-ed is the latest rehash of the same legalese, distortions, and outright lies he has leveled at me for the past 20 years. He insists my mother brought criminal charges – in fact, it was a pediatrician who reported the incident to the police based on my firsthand account. He suggests that no one complained of his misconduct prior to his assault on me – court documents show that he was in treatment for what his own therapist described as <<inappropriate>> behavior with me from as early as 1991.”
