Dylan Farrow's powerful 'Time's Up' statement against Woody Allen
Following the fashion blackout and Time's Up movement at this year's Golden Globes, Mia Farrow's daughter, Dylan, has made a powerful statement against alleged "predator" Woody Allen.
The 32-year-old took to Twitter to discuss an open letter published in the New York Times in 2014 about the alleged abuse she was subjected to by Allen when she was seven-years-old.
Dylan reflected on how she made the decision to publish the letter following Allen being awarded the Cecil B. DeMille accolade for lifetime achievement "detailing the abuse [she] sustained at the hands of Woody Allen".
"I thought it would make a difference," she wrote. "I thought things would change. I learned quickly (and painfully) that my optimism was misplaced. His time wasn’t up."
She praised those for making a statement wearing black on the red carpet but she begged the question: "Is time really up now?"
"Is this really the turning point?" Dylan questioned. "I have no doubt it can be. I have no doubt the time is right. But in order for things to meaningfully change, they need to change unequivocally.
"No predator should be spared by virtue of their 'talent' or 'creativity' or 'genius,'" she continued. "No rock should be left unturned. The principles of the movement need to be applied consistently and without exemption."
She finished her strong statement in the Twitter thread saying she has "optimism" and "hope" about the recent movement at the Golden Globes "with the firm belief that there is a brighter future ahead."
"And I will watch to see if now, finally, time is up for my predator too," she finished.
It’s #GoldenGlobes Sunday. Four years ago, at the Globes in 2014, Woody Allen was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement. Four years ago I decided enough was enough and wrote an open letter detailing the abuse I sustained at the hands of Woody Allen. /1

Today, four years later, it is Globes Sunday again and many, if not most, will be wearing black on the red carpet in solidarity with the #TIMESUP movement. They will stand against sexual harassment and abuse in their industry and all others. Good. I stand with them. #metoo /3

But I have to wonder - is time really up now? Is this really the turning point? I have no doubt it can be. I have no doubt the time is right. But in order for things to meaningfully change, they need to change unequivocally. /4

No predator should be spared by virtue of their “talent” or “creativity” or “genius.” No rock should be left unturned. The principles of the movement need to be applied consistently and without exemption. /5

I will be watching tonight with a very different feeling than I had at this time four years ago. I will watch with optimism, with hope, and with the firm belief that there is a brighter future ahead. And I will watch to see if now, finally, time is up for my predator too. /6 end.

The 82-year-old filmmaker has continually denied the claims made by both Dylan and her mother.
Mia, now 72, was in a relationship with Allen from 1979 to 1992.
