These Are the Actors Who Now Regret Working With Woody Allen—And the Ones Who Don't

Selena Gomez (A Rainy Day in New York, 2018): “To be honest, I’m not sure how to answer—not because I’m trying to back away from it,” she told Billboard. “[The Harvey Weinstein allegations] actually happened right after I had started [on the movie]. They popped up in the midst of it. And that’s something, yes, I had to face and discuss. I stepped back and thought, Wow, the universe works in interesting ways.” 

Blake Lively (Café Society, 2016): “It's very dangerous to factor in things you don't know anything about,” she told the Los Angeles Times “I could [only] know my experience. And my experience with Woody is he's empowering to women.” 

Kristen Stewart (Café Society, 2016): “At the end of the day—Jesse and I talked about this—if we were persecuted for the amount of shit that’s been said about us that’s not true, our lives would be over,” she said to Variety. “The experience of making the movie was so outside of that; it was fruitful for the two of us to go on with it.” 

Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine, 2014): “I mean, it’s obviously been a long and painful situation for the family, and I hope they find some sort of resolution and peace,” she said to Hollywood Elsewhere, via Reuters.

In March 2018, she clarified her statements:

Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, 1977): “I have nothing to say about that. Except: I believe my friend,” the actor told the Guardian.

Rebecca Hall (A Rainy Day in New York, 2018): In a statement posted to her Instagram, Hall revealed that she'll be donating her wages from A Rainy Day in New York to the Time's Up fund. "The day after the Weinstein accusation broke in full force I was shooting a day of work on Woody Allen’s latest movie in New York. I couldn’t have imagined somewhere stranger to be that day," she wrote. "When asked to do so, some seven months ago, I quickly said yes. He gave me one of my first significant roles in film for which I have always been grateful; it was one day in my hometown—easy. I have, however, subsequently realized there is nothing easy about any of this. In the weeks following I have thought very deeply about this decision, and remain conflicted and saddened. After reading and rereading 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. It’s a small gesture and not one intended as close to compensation but I’ve donated my wage to Time's Up. I’ve also signed up, will continue to donate, and look forward to working with and being part of this positive movement towards change not just in Hollywood but hopefully everywhere.”
