\n\tScarlett Johansson<\/a> has defended her ongoing support for Woody Allen<\/a>, who has been disavowed by much of the film industry over sexual abuse allegations made by his stepdaughter, Dylan Farrow.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actress\u00a0\u2014\u00a0who has starred in three movies directed by Allen in \u201cMatch Point,\u201d \u201cScoop\u201d and \u201cVicky Christina Barcelona\u201d \u2014\u00a0is one of few names to have publicly stood by the filmmaker over the claims, first made in 1992 and brought up again in the wake of the #MeToo movement, claims that Allen has consistently denied and have been investigated and dismissed by New York authorities. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2019, Johansson said: \u201cI love Woody. I believe him, and I would work him anytime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new interview in The Daily Telegraph, the Marvel star addressed any potential backlash to her support, saying it was \u201chard to know\u201d whether she had experienced any fallout in both her professional or personal life. \u201cYou never know what the domino effect is, exactly. But my mom always encouraged me to be myself, [to see] that it\u2019s important to have integrity, and stand up for what you believe in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJohansson added: \u201cAt the same time, I think it\u2019s also important to know when it\u2019s not your turn. I don\u2019t mean that you should silence yourself. I mean sometimes it\u2019s just not your time. And that\u2019s something I\u2019ve understood more as I\u2019ve matured.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJohansson also discussed the objection she raised over ChatGPT launching a voice that she argued sounded \u201ceerily similar\u201d to hers, and suing Disney in 2021 over its decision to give \u201cBlack Widow\u201d a streaming-only release, and the fact that no other actor spoke out on these issues.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI mean, it would be great to have more support from the community and my peers \u2014 vocally, publicly \u2014 on certain issues that affect the entire industry,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s always helpful to have more voices, you guys!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scarlett Johansson has defended her ongoing support for Woody Allen, who has been disavowed by much of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,31981,47241],"class_list":["post-318607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-scarlett-johansson","tag-woody-allen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
