Actor Hayley Atwell has expressed solidarity with Dylan Farrow, saying she regrets working in Woody Allen\u2019s Cassandra\u2019s Dream. Allen has been accused of sexual abuse by Dylan Farrow, his adopted daughter with former partner Mia Farrow.<\/p>\n
Atwell, who is best known for her role of Agent Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was asked about her experience of working for the director during an interview with The Guardian.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t spoken about this before. It was my first film and I didn\u2019t feel directed by him at all. I didn\u2019t have any kind of relationship with him. And that was fine but bizarre. It was a great opportunity, so I did the best I could and left. I didn\u2019t know back then what I know now. Would I work with him now? No,\u201d Atwell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I stand in solidarity with his daughter and offer an apology to her if my contribution to his work has caused her suffering or made her feel dismissed in any way. It\u2019s exciting that I can say this now and I\u2019m not going to be blacklisted,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
On the birth of #Metoo and Time\u2019s Up movements, Atwell said they have \u201cblasted open\u201d the conversations around the issue of sexual harassment in the film industry and has encouraged women to come forward with their stories.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, it\u2019s about better representation and treatment across all industries. This past year, the conversation has been blasted open in quite an exciting way. It carries a lot of grief, rage, frustration and fear but could lead to deep cultural change,\u201d Atwell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s brilliant is the solidarity of the women speaking out. It\u2019s created a new vocabulary. I feel galvanised by it. I\u2019ve always been outspoken but this movement has created a quiet confidence that we can call things out when they\u2019re not OK not just sexual harassment but any abuse of power,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
