Scarlett Johansson Breaks Her Silence On Woody Allen/Dylan Farrow Scandal

While everyone may be talking about Scarlett Johansson's baby bump, ScarJo is finally talking about her mentor Woody Allen. The pregnant actress has broken her silence on Allen's public feud with daughter Dylan Farrow, who wrote a piece for the New York Times last month in which she alleged the famed director sexually abused her when she was seven years old.
In the piece, the 28-year-old called Johansson and a number of other celebs including Emma Stone, Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett and Diane Keaton, asking, "What if I had been your child?"
The Tony award-winning actress has finally spoken up about being named, saying, "I think it's irresponsible to take a bunch of actors that will have a Google alert on and to suddenly throw their name into a situation that none of us could possibly knowingly comment on," the 29-year-old Avengers actress told the Guardian. "That just feels irresponsible to me."
When asked if the scandal had affected her relationship with the 77-year-old director, the bombshell said, "I don't know anything about it. It would be ridiculous for me to make any kind of assumption one way or the other."
Johansson also seems both unaware and unfazed by backlash against the Oscar-winning filmmaker in the wake of the media coverage. "I'm unaware that there's been a backlash. I think he'll continue to know what he knows about the situation, and I'm sure the other people involved have their own experience with it," said the newly engaged star. "It's not like this is somebody that's been prosecuted and found guilty of something, and you can then go, 'I don't support this lifestyle or whatever.' I mean, it's all guesswork."
