Drew Barrymore says she was 'gaslit' into working with Woody Allen in Dylan Farrow interview

• Dylan Farrow was on "The Drew Barrymore Show" on Monday.
• Barrymore told Farrow she regrets working with Allen on his movie "Everyone Says I Love You."
• "[I] was basically gaslit into not looking at a narrative beyond what I was being told," Barrymore said.

On Monday's "The Drew Barrymore Show," Barrymore sat down with Dylan Farrow and said she regrets working with Farrow's stepfather, Woody Allen.

Barrymore starred in Allen's 1996 movie "Everyone Says I Love You." She said there was no "higher career calling" than to work with the famed director.

"Then I had children," she said, "and it changed me because I realized that I was one of the people who was basically gaslit into not looking at a narrative beyond what I was being told. And I see what is happening in the industry now and that is because of you making that brave choice. So thank you for that."

Farrow was the subject of the four-part HBO docuseries "Allen V. Farrow," which aired earlier this year and examined the relationship Allen had with actress Mia Farrow, and the allegations of sexual abuse put forward by Dylan, which Allen has denied.

"Hearing what you just said, I'm trying not to cry right now," Farrow replied. "It's just so meaningful because it's easy for me to say, 'Of course you shouldn't work with him; he's a jerk, he's a monster,' but I just find it incredibly brave and incredibly generous that you would say to me that my story, and what I went through, was important enough to you to reconsider that."

Representatives for Allen did not immediately respond to Allen's request for comment.

Farrow said the airing of the docuseries has brought her closure with her siblings as several agreed to talk on camera.

Farrow also said it has brought her closer to her mother, Mia.

"I would've loved to have been able to watch the series with her," Farrow said to Barrymore. "At the time, that just wasn't possible; we were in separate quarantine pods, unfortunately. I really heard everything from her after the fact.

"It was just a very strange pathway that we navigated separately and together, but I think it definitely changed a lot about how me and my mom relate to each other and interact with each other, and I think there's a very renewed level of just respect, just woman to woman."
