The 50-year-old actress — who was one of the first women to accuse disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and who won an Oscar for her role in Allen’s 1995 film Mighty Aphrodite — penned an open letter to Allen’s daughter Dylan Farrow, vowing to never film with the director again.
Dylan has claimed Allen, 82, molested her when she was 7. Allen has long denied the allegations, which first surfaced during his explosive 1992 split from Mia Farrow. Allen was not charged, though a Connecticut prosecutor said there was probable cause for a criminal case. In 2014, Dylan detailed her allegations in a New York Times op-ed.
“I confess that at the time I worked for Woody Allen I was a naive young actress,” Sorvino wrote in the Huffington Post. “I swallowed the media’s portrayal of your abuse allegations against your father as an outgrowth of a twisted custody battle between Mia Farrow and him, and did not look further into the situation, for which I am terribly sorry.”

After Dylan – who is one of the star’s three children with ex Mia — spoke out publicly for the first time in 2014, Allen again adamantly denied the accusation. His son Ronan Farrow also penned an column for the Hollywood Reporter, which addressed the sexual abuse claims and condemned the media for not asking Allen about the allegations and stars for working with him. In response, Allen told The Guardian, “I have no interest in all of that. I find that all tabloid stupidity.”
