Dylan Farrow to discuss Woody Allen allegation in first TV interview

Dylan Farrow will discuss the sexual assault allegation she made against her adoptive father Woody Allen in a TV interview, as a growing number of stars distance themselves from the director.

The interview will air on US channel CBS on Thursday and is Farrow’s first, according to the broadcaster.

It comes after Farrow recently reiterated her allegations, which Allen vehemently denies, in a newspaper article which questioned why he has been spared by the "revolution" that ended Harvey Weinstein's career.

"I am credible, and I am telling the truth, and I think it's important that people realise that one victim, one accuser, matters. And that they are enough to change things," Farrow said in an extract from the CBS appearance released on Wednesday.

Allen faces renewed questions over his alleged behaviour as he prepares for the release of his latest film in a Hollywood that is coming to grips with its history of sexual harassment and abuse.

The 82-year-old filmmaker, who has always denied the allegation, was investigated over the claim he molested Farrow in an attic in 1992 when she was seven, but he was not charged.

Actor Timothee Chalamet said on Tuesday that he did not want to profit from his role in A Rainy Day In New York and would instead donate his salary to three charities combating abuse and harassment, including Time's Up.

Rebecca Hall previously apologised for her role in the film and said she would also donate her earnings to the celebrity-backed initiative.

Others to distance themselves from Allen in recent weeks include To Rome With Love's Greta Gerwig, Wonder Wheel's David Krumholtz and Mira Sorvino, who vowed to never work with him again having won an Oscar for her role in 1995's Mighty Aphrodite.

However, Alec Baldwin, who has worked with Allen on three occasions, expressed his support for the director earlier this week, saying the rejection is "unfair and sad".

Farrow is the sister of journalist Ronan Farrow, whose investigative reporting aided Weinstein's downfall.
