Rebecca Corridor says she doesn’t remorse working with Woody Allen regardless of him being famously accused by ex-wife Mia Farrow of sexually abusing their adoptive daughter, Dylan Farrow, when she was a baby.
Corridor starred in Allen’s “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” (2008) and “A Rainy Day in New York” (2019), which hit theaters when former collaborators began talking out towards him for the alleged abuse.
On the time, Corridor not solely pledged her “Rainy Day” wage to the Time’s Up Authorized Protection Fund to assist victims of sexual abuse in Hollywood but in addition publicly shared how “profoundly sorry” she was to have labored with Allen. However now she is reneging on the assertion.
“I struggle with this one,” Corridor advised The Guardian in an interview printed Sunday, referring to her resolution to talk out towards Allen. “It’s very unlike me to make a public statement about anything. I make the stuff, that’s how I am political. I don’t think of myself as an ‘actor-vist,’ I’m not that person.”
“And, I kind of regret making that statement, because I don’t think it’s the responsibility of his actors to speak to that situation,” she continued.
She then mirrored on what led to her making the assertion, recalling how the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke whereas she was filming a scene for “Rainy Day.”
“I was outside, shooting a street scene with Jude Law where, literally, my dialogue was, ‘You’ve got to stop sleeping with these fucking 15-year-olds,’” Corridor mentioned. “And that day, the Weinstein scandal breaks. There’s a bank of journalists and paparazzi right there, because Weinstein’s a producer on it, and they’re all listening to me say this.”
This, paired with being emotionally affected by Allen’s abuse allegations and the Me Too motion in full swing, led to Corridor eager to do “something definitive.”
“But it just became, ‘another person denounces Woody Allen and regrets working with him,’ which is not what I actually said,” she advised The Guardian in regard to her assertion. “I don’t regret working with him. He gave me a great job opportunity and he was kind to me. … I don’t talk to him any more, but I don’t think that we should be the ones who are doing judge and jury on this.”

Mia Farrow first publicly accused Allen of sexually abusing Dylan Farrow in a 1992 Self-importance Truthful article, lengthy earlier than their adoptive daughter reiterated the allegations in 2013 and within the 2021 documentary “Allen v. Farrow.” Allen has at all times denied sexually abusing Dylan Farrow and was by no means charged with a criminal offense.
The director was notably welcomed with a standing ovation as lately as 2017, when he took the stage to current Diane Keaton with the forty fifth annual AFI Life Achievement Award, however has since stored a decrease profile in favor of European award ceremonies.
When requested how she would react to the backlash towards Allen if it had occurred now, Corridor defended her newest stance with out qualms.
“I wouldn’t say anything — my policy actually is to be an artist,” she advised The Guardian. “Don’t come out and state your stuff so much. I don’t think that makes me apathetic or not engaged. I just think it’s my job.”
