For the first time on television, Dylan Farrow accused her father, Woody Allen, of molesting her as a child, telling “CBS This Morning”: “I want to show my face and tell my story.”
Why shouldn’t I want to bring him down? Why shouldn’t I be angry? Why shouldn’t I be hurt? Why shouldn’t I feel some sort of outrage that after all these years, being ignored and disbelieved and tossed aside?” the now 32 year old Farrow said in the interview. Dylan Farrow was adopted by Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, had previously made sexual abuse allegations against her new Allen.
“I was taken to a small attic crawl space in my mother’s country house in Connecticut by my father,” Farrow said, describing an encounter with Allen that she said occurred in 1992. “He instructed me to lay down on my stomach and play with my brother’s toy train that was set up. And he sat behind me in the doorway, and as I played with the toy train, I was sexually assaulted.”
“As a 7-year-old I would say, I would have said he touched my private parts. Which I did say. As a 32-year-old, he touched my labia and my vulva with his finger.”
