Ronan Farrow Slams Stars for Working With Woody Allen

Ronan Farrow wants the world to start asking tougher questions when it comes to his father, Woody Allen. The famed writer and director is at the Cannes Film Festival, where he is set to open the event with his film, Café Society, Wednesday evening. Starring Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart and more A-listers, Café Society landed the coveted debut time slot much to Ronan's chagrin. In a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, Ronan claims old-school media's slow evolution has created an environment of silence instead of conversation.


He writes “Amazon paid millions to work with Woody Allen, bankrolling a new series and film. Actors, including some I admire greatly, continue to line up to star in his movies. It's not personal,' one once told me. But it hurts my sister every time one of her heroes like Louis C.K., or a star her age, like Miley Cyrus, works with Woody Allen”.


Even though the anonymous celebrity told Ronan working with Woody wasn't personal, the Today show correspondent said it's exactly that for his sister, Dylan Farrow, who has accused their father of sexual abuse. Personal is exactly what it is for my sister, and for women everywhere with allegations of sexual assault that have never been vindicated by a conviction," he writes.
