Overview

• Sean Penn stated on The Louis Theroux Podcast that he would work with Woody Allen again 'in a heartbeat,' citing a lack of proven guilt in the long-standing abuse allegations.
• Penn expressed skepticism about the credibility of those who have supported the claims against Allen, while acknowledging he cannot be certain of the truth.
• Dylan Farrow alleged in 1992 that Allen molested her at age 7, but Allen has consistently denied the accusations, and investigations in Connecticut and New York found no evidence to charge him.
• The controversy surrounding Allen resurfaced in recent years, particularly after the #MeToo movement and the release of the 2021 documentary 'Allen v. Farrow.'
• Penn, who worked with Allen on the 1999 film 'Sweet and Lowdown,' argued that the filmmaker should be judged based on facts rather than public sentiment or movements.
