Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, made a rare red carpet appearance at the Venice International Film Festival for the premiere of Allen's 50th film, "Coup de Chance." Despite receiving a three-minute standing ovation, the event was also marked by protests due to resurgent allegations of sexual abuse from his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. Allen expressed gratitude for his life and relationships while maintaining that the allegations have been thoroughly investigated and disproven. The festival director defended the inclusion of Allen's film in the event amidst the controversy.
I was lucky my whole life really. I had two loving parents, I have good friends. I have a wonderful wife and marriage, two children.
The situation has been investigated by two major investigative bodies. And both, after long detailed investigations, concluded there was no merit to these charges.
The fact that it lingers on always makes me think that maybe people like the idea that it lingers on. You know, maybe there's something appealing to people.
Asked whether he's seen Dylan or his son, Ronan Farrow, again, Allen said he was 'always willing to but no, no...'.
