A Full List of Actors Who've Apologized for Working With Woody Allen

On February 1, 2014, Dylan Farrow wrote an open letter in The New York Times accusing her adoptive father, Woody Allen, of sexually assaulting her when she was seven years old. Shortly after, Allen denied the accusations in his own op-ed. He was investigated but never prosecuted for the accusations in 1993, following his split with actress Mia Farrow.

While some took Farrow's claims seriously, much of Hollywood continued to support and celebrate Allen. When questioned about their decisions to work with Allen in light of the allegations, most actors defaulted to some variation on "it's none of my business." Until now. Last month, in light of the watershed moment the industry is facing following revelations of sexual misconduct against a slew of powerful men, Farrow wrote another op-ed. "Why has the #MeToo revolution spared Woody Allen?" the headline to her Los Angeles Times piece asked.

Hollywood seems to be taking notice. Over the past months, a number of actors have turned their backs on Woody Allen, expressing regret for having worked with him and in some cases donating their salaries from his movies to charity.

Below is a full list of all the actors who have apologized for working with Allen. It will be updated as necessary.

Griffin Newman

Newman announced via Twitter back in October that he believes Farrow's allegations of abuse against Allen. "I need to get this off my chest," Newman wrote. "I worked on Woody Allen's next movie. I believe he is guilty."

Newman has "a one-scene role" in Allen's upcoming film A Rainy Day In New York, and wrote that he had spent "a month debating whether or not to quit" the project, and deeply regretted his final decision: "Why didn't I quit? My parents were incredibly proud. I felt there [were] things to be gained from the experience on that set. I was a coward."

Newman also stated that he was donating his salary from the film to RAINN, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network.

Ellen Page

Page worked with Allen on 2012's To Rome With Love, and in a November Facebook post called this "the biggest regret" of her career. "I am ashamed I did this," Page wrote. "I had yet to find my voice and was not who I am now and felt pressured, because 'of course you have to say yes to this Woody Allen film.' Ultimately, however, it is my choice what films I decide to do and I made the wrong choice. I made an awful mistake."

Greta Gerwig

Gerwig also worked with Allen on To Rome with Love, but revealed in a recent interview with The New York Times that she regrets her decision. "If I had known then what I know now, I would not have acted in the film," she said. "I have not worked for him again, and I will not work for him again." Gerwig explained that Farrow's two op-eds from 2014 and 2017 had "made me realize that I increased another woman's pain, and I was heartbroken by that realization."

Mira Sorvino

In an emotional open letter to Farrow published by The Huffington Post, Sorvino apologized and stated her "belief in and support of" Farrow.

"I confess that at the time I worked for Woody Allen I was a naive young actress," Sorvino wrote. "I swallowed the media's portrayal of your abuse allegations against your father as an outgrowth of a twisted custody battle between Mia Farrow and him, and did not look further into the situation, for which I am terribly sorry." Sorvino stated that in the course of a conversation with Farrow's brother Ronan — who interviewed Sorvino for The New Yorker about her alleged abuse at the hands of Harvey Weinstein — she had learned more about Farrow's situation. "[Ronan Farrow] pointed me toward publicly available details of the case I had ruefully never known of," Sorvino wrote, "which made me begin to feel the evidence strongly supported your story. That you have been telling the truth all along."

"I am so sorry, Dylan! I cannot begin to imagine how you have felt, all these years as you watched someone you called out as having hurt you as a child, a vulnerable little girl in his care, be lauded again and again, including by me and countless others in Hollywood who praised him and ignored you. As a mother and a woman, this breaks my heart for you."

Rebecca Hall

Hall first worked with Allen on 2008's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and more recently filmed a small role in his upcoming A Rainy Day In New York. "When asked to do so, some seven months ago, I quickly said yes," Hall wrote in an Instagram post. "He gave me one of my first significant roles in film for which I have always been grateful." However, having thought deeply about her decision, and "reading and re-reading Dylan Farrow's statements of a few days ago and going back and reading the older ones, I see not only how complicated this matter is, but that my actions have made another woman feel silenced and dismissed. That is not something that sits easily with me in the current or indeed any moment, and I am profoundly sorry. I regret this decision and wouldn't make the same one today." Hall added that she had donated her wages from the film to Time's Up, which she called "a small gesture and not one intended as close to compensation."

Timothée Chalamet

Chalamet, who also appears in A Rainy Day In New York, expressed his regret in an Instagram post. "I have been asked in a few recent interviews about my decision to work on a film with Woody Allen last summer," Chalamet wrote. "I'm not able to answer the question directly because of contractual obligations. But what I can say is this: I don't want to profit from my work on the film, and to that end, I am going to donate my entire salary to three charities: TIME'S UP, The LGBT Center in New York, and RAINN [Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network]."

He added, "I want to be worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the brave artists who are fighting for all people to be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve."
