After the first episode aired, Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, who is an adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, released a statement declaring the docuseries a <a href="https://www.insider.com/woody-allen-says-hbo-documentary-allen-v-farrow-hatchet-job-2021-2">"hatchet job riddled with falsehoods."</a>Insider spoke to Ziering and Dick about some of the criticisms of the series and major moments in episode 4.<div type="image" title="woody allen Soon-Yi Previn" height="1379" width="1839" msid="81503362" hostid="261"></div><h2>The filmmakers say Allen and Previn were given 'plenty of time' to be part of the docuseries</h2>Jason Guerrasio: What was your reaction when you read Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn's statement after the first episode aired?Kirby Dick: It wasn't surprising. Amy Ziering: I wasn't surprised but it was also unfair to make that assessment. It's precocious to make that statement if you haven't seen all four parts.Do you feel you gave them enough time to respond?Dick: They had plenty of time to respond and let us know if they wanted to do the interview. And keep in mind, this is in the era of COVID-19 so this would have been the easiest interview ever because they would have been sitting in front of their computer. They wouldn't have had to leave their apartment. Ziering: We gave them a window of time to just respond and then we would set up a time and it could have been months later, so it's a little disingenuous. They are not accurately presenting things. And correct me if I'm wrong, but you never heard anything from Allen's team. Ziering: Exactly. And it's an open invitation, I'm sure HBO would do a fifth episode. He's welcome to talk to us. In the statement, it says that Woody and Soon-Yi were given notice less than two months ago and only given a matter of days to respond. What is your response to that?Ziering: Untrue.<div type="image" title="woody allen and mia farrow" height="1309" width="2000" msid="81503363" hostid="261"></div><h2>The filmmakers were aware of Mia Farrow's needle-poked Valentine's Day card to Allen but wanted to focus on things related to the allegations</h2>One of the criticisms of the docuseries is there are certain things not shown. One is <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/mia-farrow-threatening-1992-valentine-day-woody-allen-article-1.1605686">Mia Farrow's Valentin's Day card</a> she sent to Allen in 1992 that had needles and a knife poked in a photo of Farrow's family. Was there ever a time when the Valentine's Day card was included in the documentary?Dick: We were aware of it. We really wanted to focus on acts that were specifically relevant to the allegations. There were these accusations made by Woody Allen, Soon-Yi, and by Moses [an adopted son of Mia Farrow's] that Mia was a bad mother and an abusive mother. That was of great concern to us and we certainly wanted to investigate that and we did. And everything we came across showed there really was no credible corroboration of that claim. In fact, all nine of her other children contradicted those statements. There really isn't any credible evidence that she was anything but a very good and loving mother. Ziering: And keep in mind if there was credibility and corroboration for abuse, where would it come out? In a custody trial. So the absence of that [in the case] is telling. But did you bring up the Valentine's Day card on camera to Mia or anyone?Dick: I believe we did discuss it. The publisher of Allen's memoir, "Apropos of Nothing," has <a href="https://www.insider.com/allen-v-farrow-woody-allen-memoir-publisher-threatens-lawsuit-2021-2">threatened a lawsuit</a> over audiobook excerpts used. But you are claiming fair use, right?Dick: This is all fair use. We went to our attorneys and they are extremely experienced attorneys. They are litigators, they go to court over this issue, and they were and still are very confident that our use of it was legal under the guidelines of fair use.<div type="image" title="avf07" height="1080" width="1920" msid="81503365" hostid="261"></div><h2>Ziering said they showed Dylan Farrow shaking uncontrollably in episode 4 as an example of her long-lasting trauma</h2>There's a scene in episode 4 where Dylan begins to shake uncontrollably while being interviewed with her husband. Take me through what it was like shooting that.Ziering: I think that moment is very instructive and telling. Here we are almost two decades later [since the alleged abuse] and here's a woman in her own home with a very tiny film crew talking about something and having a very extreme physiological reaction that she herself was surprised by.Why I feel it was important to include is not that it's sad but to show people just how long-lasting the effects of these kinds of traumas are. People don't just do that for any other reason unless there's something that actually happened. That's above and beyond anyone's acting skills.Had she said that she'd had this reaction before? Had it happened before while you were with her?Ziering: Never. A complete shock. We weren't even in there for very long. It wasn't like we spent the whole day with her. We just came in for a short time to film what you see. It was completely out of the blue. Dick: Having done several films on sexual assault, we have seen this before so it's always surprising when it happens but it's not a surprising symptom. It's certainly something we have seen before. <div type="image" title="avf03" height="1660" width="2213" msid="81503367" hostid="261"></div><h2>Dick said the docuseries being picked apart is 'standard playbook' when it comes to sexual abuse allegations</h2>I assume you knew going in that the docuseries would get picked apart. Have you experienced this before on other projects?Kirby: Most women or children who report sexual abuse experience this kind of questioning. If something is stolen from you nobody starts taking apart that reporting at all. But when it comes to the issue of sexual assault and sexual abuse it's so common. So has any of this surprised us? No, not at all. This is the standard playbook that we've seen forever. What we hope though is by people seeing this series is they will come to understand the issue of sexual abuse better and then they will be less susceptible to those kinds of distractions or distortions. Ziering: The best defense is a good offense, especially one that capitalizes on misogynistic tropes and conventions that people are eager to embrace. Are you concerned that despite what the docuseries uncovers there will always be a Team Woody that will never be swayed in what they believe?Ziering: This is team truth. We can't fight a world that wants things to be opinion-based and belief-based and feelings-based. That's not the world I want to live in. I want to live in a world that's still truth-based. When it comes to crimes they should really look at facts and evidence and not feelings. That's what our work is intent on doing. Dick: There will always be some people out there that will not be persuaded, no matter how much evidence they are given. But we have seen in the past with our films that actually it really helps change the way people look at the issue generally and the cases specifically. We already know a lot of people who have one perspective on this that once they've seen our reporting have now dramatically shifted their perspective.

Farrow," was "a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods."</a>The series has led many people to reexamine the allegations that the disgraced filmmaker sexually abused his former adopted daughter, Dylan, when she was 7 years old.In a statement, first obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Allen and Previn <a href="https://www.insider.com/woody-allen-says-hbo-documentary-allen-v-farrow-hatchet-job-2021-2">denounced the series</a> and<a href="https://www.insider.com/woody-allen-says-hbo-documentary-allen-v-farrow-hatchet-job-2021-2"> denied the allegations</a>.The statement added: "These documentarians had no interest in the truth. Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers."Ziering told Insider last week in response, "It's precocious to make that statement if you haven't seen all four parts."Allen and Previn also claimed in a statement that they "were approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days 'to respond.'

"I'm sure HBO would do a fifth episode so Woody is welcome to talk to us."Insider contacted Allen's rep for comment, but did not get a response."Allen v. Farrow" examines the relationship Allen had with his ex-girlfriend, actress Mia Farrow, through the 1990s and the accusations by the child they adopted, Dylan, that she was sexually abused by the filmmaker in the attic of Farrow's Connecticut home. It also features excerpts from a <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-allen-v-farrow-got-dylan-farrow-abuse-allegation-video-2021-2">home video Farrow shot</a> of then 7-year-old Dylan saying what Allen did to her.<div type="image" title="avf07" height="1080" width="1440" msid="81399160" hostid="261"></div>The accusation led to a tabloid-fueled custody battle between Allen and Farrow. (Allen was never charged for a crime in connection the accusations and for years has denied them).With decades of conflicting stories on the subject, do Ziering and Dick believe their docuseries can sway anyone's opinion on what actually happened? "There will always be some people out there that will not be persuaded no matter how much evidence they are given," Dick added. "But we have seen in the past with our films that actually it really helps change the way people look at the issue generally and the cases we looked into specifically."Ziering and Dick have built a career looking at sexual abuse as they also made documentaries "The Invisible War," about sexual abuse in the military; "The Hunting Ground," about sexual assault on US college campuses; and "On the Record," about the sexual abuse allegations against hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons from former record executive Drew Dixon."What we hope is by people seeing this series, they will come to understand the issue of sexual abuse better and then they will be less susceptible to those kinds of distractions or distortions," Dick said.The final episode of "Allen v. Farrow" airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

'Allen v. Farrow' directors say Woody Allen has an 'open invitation' to be interviewed for the docuseries: 'I'm sure HBO would do a 5th episode'

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Insider spoke to "<keyword id="10713481" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="allen-v-farrow">Allen v. Farrow</keyword>" directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick.</li><li>"Allen v.

In 2014 she wrote an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/02/opinion/sunday/kristof-dylan-farrows-story.html">open letter in The New York Times</a> about Allen's abuse towards her. Now she's going a step further.After the relentless efforts by Ziering and Dick's investigative producer Amy Herdy, Farrow, as well as her mother, Mia, and several of her siblings, went on camera to talk about the incident that has defined their lives in the new explosive four-part <keyword id="71946" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="HBO">HBO</keyword> docuseries, "Allen v. Farrow," out Sunday.If you are up on the <a href="https://www.insider.com/woody-allen-mia-farrow-soon-yi-previn-relationship-kids-9-2018">ugly breakup in the '90s between Allen and Mia</a> that led to countless tabloid headlines, a custody battle over their kids, and a press conference in which Allen professed his love for another of Mia's adopted daughters, Soon-Yi Previn (who married Allen in 1997), then there's a lot in the docuseries you already know.But there's also a lot that you'll learn about for the first time.It includes the flaws in the child sexual assault evaluation of Farrow, allegations that Allen began a sexual relationship with Previn when she was a teen, information from the police report of Farrow's alleged abuse that contradicts what Allen said about the incident, and the never-before-seen video footage of Farrow telling her mother how Allen had abused her.Insider reached out to reps for Allen, but didn't immediately hear back.<div type="image" title="Kirby Dick Amy Ziering Charley Gallay Getty" height="1971" width="2628" msid="81115254" hostid="261"></div><h2>Initially, the filmmakers wanted Farrow to be in the same movie as Russell Simmons' accuser, Drew Dixon</h2>Ziering and Dick admitted they did not go after telling this saga; it came to them. Back when they were overcome by calls from abuse survivors, the duo pondered a way to tell all the stories. They rented a Brooklyn brownstone and began conducting five interviews a day.It was at that time when Herdy came to the filmmakers with the idea of having Farrow be part of the interviews."She was really reluctant at first but when she realized we were unbiased and didn't have an agenda she agreed to sit down," Ziering told Insider of that first interview with Farrow."The way she told her story and not only [told] what happened but her emotional, psychological experience was very powerful," Dick added. "It told us there could be a very rich and complex story focused on her journey."Herdy informed the directors there was "a whole lot more" to the story and they wanted to dig deeper.It just so happened that at the same time, Ziering and Dick had also interviewed Drew Dixon, a former A&amp;R executive at Def Jams Records who <a href="https://www.insider.com/oprah-russell-simmons-pushed-to-pull-support-from-metoo-documentary-2020-1">claimed hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons raped her</a>. (Simmons has continuously denied the accusations.)"They almost crossed paths, literally," Ziering pointed out, as both Dylan and Dixon came to their brownstone to be interviewed within weeks of each other.By the time they interviewed both women their idea of a big movie spotlighting #MeToo survivors shifted. Instead, Ziering and Dick decided to focus specifically on the stories of Drew Dixon and Dylan Farrow. "On the Record," which centers on Dixon, came out last year on HBO Max. Production on Dylan's story was close behind.<div type="image" title="avf05" height="1080" width="1920" msid="81115255" hostid="261"></div><h2>In the docuseries, you'll see never-before-seen video of Farrow telling Mia how Allen abused her </h2>Both Ziering and Dick praise the work of Herdy, who seemed to deliver new elements to Farrow's story on a regular basis. She became close to Farrow, as well as her mother Mia, who was completely against participating in "Allen v Farrow" initially."The absolute only reason Mia did it was because her daughter asked her to," Ziering said. "Her daughter implored her. Dylan thought her talking would help, but Mia really didn't want to do it."As Herdy uncovered more materials, like a room full of custody battle documents that hadn't been touched since the 90s, Mia also handed over her own recordings, including home videos of her kids growing up around Allen in Connecticut and recordings of private phone calls between her and Allen during their troubled relationship. (In a remarkable moment in the docuseries, we learn Allen was also recording these calls.)Then there was the most chilling piece of material: the video recordings of Farrow telling Mia how Allen abused her, which was not easy to obtain.Farrow previously recalled Allen's alleged abuse in a <a href="https://www.insider.com/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview-video-2018-1">CBS</a> <a href="https://www.insider.com/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview-video-2018-1">interview in January 2018.</a>"I was taken to a small attic crawl space in my mother's country house in Connecticut by my father," she said."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," Farrow continued. "He touched my labia and my vulva with his finger."Ziering and Dick learned that after Farrow grew up, Mia gave her the video of herself recalling her abuse at 7 years old."We asked Dylan if she would mind if we looked at it and she initially was not interested," Ziering recalled. "And then one time we were all at her house, we were finishing up an interview and had asked again if we could see the video and she declined, then suddenly as we were leaving she had a change of heart and said, 'If you guys want to watch we can all sit down and watch it now.' That's how we came to see it. It was hard to watch."Ziering said it was much later during production when they asked Farrow if some of the footage could be used in the series."She said, 'If you use it for good, and it helps other children, you can use parts of the tape in the documentary,'" Ziering recalled.The filmmakers told Insider their numerous requests to interview Allen for the movie were not returned.<div type="image" title="mia farrow woody allen dylan satchel ronan" height="1400" width="2000" msid="81115256" hostid="261"></div><h2>The directors felt Farrow went through with the movie to finally 'say her truth'</h2>Throughout the four episodes of "Allen v. Farrow," viewers are given an exhaustive retelling of one of Hollywood's messiest scandals. But Ziering admitted she and Dick were not fueled by dissecting sensational stories. They were driven by giving a voice to those who felt they didn't have one."I remember when we did 'Invisible War' - this is 2010 when no one cared about these issues, honestly - we were leaving this woman's house and she says to me, 'Amy, thank you so much for coming today. It doesn't matter if I'm in the documentary or not. What matters is you're the first person who has ever listened to me,'" Ziering recalled.The filmmaker felt that same appreciation when speaking to Farrow."The unique case with Dylan is, I think, here's this woman who not only has this intense personal trauma, which would be hard for any of us to unpack, but then the added layer of trauma by the whole way that it's played out in the public," she said.Ziering continued: "I think there was a cathartic effect of feeling she was in a safe space speaking to us. That she's not going to be attacked and finally say her truth and it not to be denied or betrayed.""Allen v. Farrow" premieres on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cKTOj7HnLbo" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Farrow" directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick <a href="https://www.insider.com/allen-v-farrow-directors-interview-woody-allen-2021-2">told Insider</a> that after failing to land an interview with Allen for the docuseries after numerous attempts, they decided to use excerpts from "Apropos of Nothing."<div type="image" title="Kirby Dick Amy Ziering Charley Gallay Getty" height="1971" width="2628" msid="81174822" hostid="261"></div>"I was reading the book and thinking how can we get the book in and then I read online there was an audio book and I felt that was perfect," said Dick. "I went to the editors and said, 'Let's start cutting with it.'"Skyhorse claims it only received "second hand" information last week that the docuseries would use excerpts from the audiobook."Having now seen the first episode, we believe that its unauthorized use of the audiobook is clear, willful infringement under existing legal precedent, and that the other episodes will infringe, too, if they appropriate the audiobook in a similar manner," Skyhorse told Deadline. "We will take the legal action we deem necessary to redress our and Woody Allen's rights in his intellectual property."HBO did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.In episode one of "Allen v Farrow," the audio is used when Allen speaks about the first time he met Farrow and his first impression of Farrow's children. In future episodes, Allen's voice speaks on much more sensitive issues, including his denial of the sexual abuse accusations."The creators of 'Allen v. Farrow' legally used limited audio excerpts from Woody Allen's memoir in the series under the Fair Use doctrine," a representative for directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick said in a statement on Monday.<div type="image" title="soon yi previn woody allen" height="1451" width="1935" msid="81174824" hostid="261"></div>Meanwhile, Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn (one of Farrow's adopted daughters), said in a joint statement Sunday evening after episode one of the series aired: "These documentarians had no interest in the truth."Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods. Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days 'to respond.' Of course, they declined to do so.""As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false," the statement continued. "Multiple agencies investigated them at the time and found that, whatever Dylan Farrow may have been led to believe, absolutely no abuse had ever taken place. It is sadly unsurprising that the network to air this is HBO - which has a standing production deal and business relationship with Ronan Farrow. While this shoddy hit piece may gain attention, it does not change the facts.""Allen v. Farrow" includes revealing information that the public has never known, like the flaws in the child sexual assault evaluation of Farrow, allegations that Allen began a sexual relationship with Previn when she was a teen, information from the police report of Farrow's alleged abuse that contradicts what Allen said about the incident, and the never-before-seen video footage of Farrow telling her mother how Allen had abused her.Episode two of "Allen v.

Farrow</keyword>" directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick admit it wasn't easy to get Dylan to agree to let them see it.After a year of gaining the trust of Dylan and even getting her very reluctant mother, Mia, to agree to be interviewed on camera, the filmmakers started to work on trying to see Dylan's video talking about the abuse."We asked Dylan if she would mind if we looked at it and she initially was not interested," <a href="https://www.insider.com/allen-v-farrow-directors-interview-2021-2">Ziering told Insider</a>.

That's how we came to see it. It was hard to watch."Farrow shot the video with her home video camera over two days beginning on August 5, 1992 whenever Dylan would begin talking about the incident with Allen, according to the documentary. This followed incidents that concerned Farrow about Allen's behavior towards Dylan, including one friend telling Farrow that she walked into a room to find Allen's face in Dylan's lap.Farrow handed over the video footage she shot of Dylan to her daughter when Dylan grew up.<div type="image" title="avf05" height="1080" width="1920" msid="81266106" hostid="261"></div>Looking back at it now, Dylan, 35, said in episode one of "Allen v. Farrow" that as a child Allen "was always hunting me."Dylan went into more detail about Allen's alleged abuse in a <a href="https://www.insider.com/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview-video-2018-1">CBS interview in January 2018</a>."I was taken to a small attic crawl space in my mother's country house in Connecticut by my father," she said."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," Farrow continued. "He touched my labia and my vulva with his finger."Ziering said it was much later during production when they asked Farrow if some of the footage Mia shot could be used in the series."She said, 'If you use it for good, and it helps other children, you can use parts of the tape in the documentary,'" Ziering recalled.After episode one of "Allen v. Farrow" aired, Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn (one of Farrow's adopted daughters), <a href="https://www.insider.com/woody-allen-says-hbo-documentary-allen-v-farrow-hatchet-job-2021-2">said in a joint statement</a>:"These documentarians had no interest in the truth. Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods. Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days 'to respond.' Of course, they declined to do so.""As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false," the statement continued. "Multiple agencies investigated them at the time and found that, whatever <keyword id="2041973" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Dylan-Farrow">Dylan Farrow</keyword> may have been led to believe, absolutely no abuse had ever taken place. It is sadly unsurprising that the network to air this is HBO - which has a standing production deal and business relationship with Ronan Farrow. While this shoddy hit piece may gain attention, it does not change the facts.""Allen v. Farrow" airs on Sunday nights on HBO and is available on HBO Max.

How the 'Allen v. Farrow' directors got the heart-wrenching video of 7-year-old Dylan Farrow alleging Woody Allen's sexual abuse

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Audio book excerpts of Allen reading his autobiography is used in the series.</li><li>At one time the directors considered using a person who could impersonate Allen's voice.</li><li>Allen's audio gives "a very clear perspective on what his side is," director Kirby Dick told Insider.</li></ul>"<a href="https://www.insider.com/allen-v-farrow-directors-interview-2021-2">Allen v Farrow</a>" directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick knew it would be almost impossible to get <keyword id="28035" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Woody-Allen">Woody Allen</keyword> on camera for their four-part docuseries.It centers on his relationship with actress Mia Farrow and the sexual abuse allegations leveled against him by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, which he's denied.But luckily, for the filmmakers, Allen voiced an audio book of his memoir.Though "Allen v Farrow" only features archival footage of Allen, as the historically press shy filmmaker never responded to the series' numerous requests to speak, it also has audio excerpts of Allen reading his <a href="https://www.insider.com/excerpts-from-woody-allen-memoir-apropos-of-nothing-2020-3">2020 autobiography, "Apropos of Nothing,"</a> in which he just so happens to address some of the topics touched on in the series.Dick remembers feeling a sense of a relief when he realized Allen did an audio version of his memoir."I was reading the book and thinking how can we get the book in and then I read online there was an audio book and I felt that was perfect," Dick told Insider. "I went to the editors and said, 'Let's start cutting with it.'"In episode one of "Allen v Farrow," which aired Sunday on <keyword id="71946" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="HBO">HBO</keyword>, the audio is used when Allen speaks about the first time he met Farrow and his first impression of Farrow's children. In future episodes, Allen's voice speaks on much more sensitive issues, including his denial of the sexual abuse accusations."I think it's really important because it allows you to hear <a href="https://www.insider.com/woody-allen-mia-farrow-soon-yi-previn-relationship-kids-9-2018">Woody Allen's perspective</a> on really everything on what we covered throughout the series," Dick said of using the audiobook excerpts. "From very early on, meeting Mia, all the way through to events that were happening less than a year ago. It's over a three decade period."But what would have happened if Allen hadn't done an audio version of his autobiography? Dick said there were all types of options they considered, even using a person who could impersonate Allen reading book excerpts."That was on the table," Dick said of the impersonator. "We were also playing around with a text-only option. We tried to keep all options open."Thankfully, Allen's own voice was available to use."I think you definitely get a very clear perspective on what his side is," Dick said of the autobiography excerpts."Allen v Farrow" airs Sundays on HBO and is available on HBO Max.

'Allen v Farrow' directors got Woody Allen to address accusations in the docuseries without ever interviewing him thanks to his audiobook

<ul class="summary-list"><li>CBS News says the interview never aired last summer due to an "active news cycle."</li><li>Because it was shot in July 2020, the interview does not address the claims in "<keyword id="10713481" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="allen-v-farrow">Allen v.

Because it was shot last summer, it does not address the claims against the director in the recent HBO docuseries, "Allen v. Farrow."In a statement given to <a href="https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/woody-allen-interview-cbs-sunday-morning-paramount-plus-1234939350/">Variety</a>, CBS News stated that it never aired the interview last July due to an "active news cycle" and it is now being offered on Paramount Plus due to "renewed interest in the controversy surrounding the filmmaker.""The exclusive for Paramount Plus offers the ability to explore Allen, his career, and the allegations in context and with the depth that this story demands," CBS News added in the statement.The abuse against Allen was first reported in 1992 by then 7-year-old Dylan Farrow during the custody battle between Allen and his longtime girlfriend, actress Mia Farrow.<div type="image" title="avf07" height="1080" width="1920" msid="81746616" hostid="261"></div>In the interview with Lee Cowan, Allen denies the abuse allegations."It's so preposterous, and yet the smear has remained," Allen said. "And they still prefer to cling to if not the notion that I molested Dylan, the possibility that I molested her. Nothing that I ever did with Dylan in my life could be misconstrued as that."HBO's "Allen v. Farrow" gives an explosive examination of Dylan's allegations and the early 1990s custody battle with new interviews, including with Dylan, and materials in the investigation that the public has never known. Allen has never been charged with any crimes.Following the airing of the first of four "Allen v. Farrow" episodes, Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn (who is the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow) <a href="https://www.insider.com/woody-allen-says-hbo-documentary-allen-v-farrow-hatchet-job-2021-2">released a statement</a> saying that it's a "hatchet job riddled with falsehoods" and that Allen and Previn were given "only a matter of days" to respond to being involved in the docuseries."Allen v. Farrow" directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering <a href="https://www.insider.com/allen-v-farrow-directors-address-criticisms-2021-3">denied those claims to Insider</a> and added that Allen has an open invitation to speak to them."I'm sure HBO would do a fifth episode," Ziering said. "He's welcome to talk to us."

Their stories deserve to be told and heard. In my opinion, there is more work to be done on the film to illuminate the full scope of what the victims endured, and it has become clear that the filmmakers and I are not aligned in that creative vision."Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering are talented filmmakers.
