Woody Allen slams daughter Farrow's claims, calls them 'untrue,' 'disgraceful,'

New York: Woody Allen has called Dylan Farrow's allegations of child molestation "untrue and disgraceful," signaling that he would fight renewed claims dating back to Allen's tempestuous relationship with actress Mia Farrow in the early



Farrow's open letter didn't urge renewed legal action, but a retrial for Allen in the court of public opinion. Farrow, who now lives in Florida, is married, and goes by another name, argued for fans of Allen's movies and actors who star in his films not to "turn a blind eye."

On Sunday, Sony Pictures Classics, which regularly distributes Allen's films including his latest, "Blue Jasmine," urged caution in any rush to judgment. "This is a very complicated situation and a tragedy for everyone involved," the company said in a statement.

"Mr. Allen has never been charged in relationship to any of this, and therefore deserves our presumption of innocence." Alec Baldwin, who has starred in Allen films, including "Blue Jasmine," was among those Farrow singled out in her letter. Baldwin responded on Twitter to those demanding a comment from him.

"You are mistaken if you think there is a place for me, or any outsider, in this family's issue," said Baldwin. Dylan Farrow's most detailed account of the 1992 incident returned the spotlight to the original police investigation of Allen.
