Mia Farrow Initially Didn’t Want Her Daughter Discussing Woody Allen Sex Allegations

People applauded Dylan Farrow for bravely coming out about sex assault allegations against her father, Woody Allen. But now we’re learning her mother wasn’t so keen on the public disclosure at the beginning.

“I just wanted it all to go away,” Mia Farrow said at the Time 100 gala Tuesday night to Page Six. “I did not want to resurrect — it was a horrible chapter for all of us, but I also understood and respected that she needed to do that and she wanted to be part of the Me Too movement and have her voice heard.”

When it all came to light, “I heard my voice saying, ‘I’m so proud of you, you’re so brave,’” she reflected, “and my stomach knew to turn over because I knew that a lot of bad people will come at me. But I’m just so proud of her.”

Mia admitted that she doesn’t have strong opinions about whether actors should or shouldn’t work with Woody: “It’s up to the individual,” she stated. “It doesn’t affect me one way or the other … I think I would if it was a dear friend, I don’t think a dear friend would do that because they would know what the family has been through … but for other people I just don’t expect that they know or care.”
