Miley Cyrus Defends Working With Woody Allen

If you are a celebrity and you work with late era Woody Allen, you will face some hard questions about that career choice. (Because of the reemergence in 2014 of allegations that Allen sexually abused his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow.) Miley Cyrus is the latest, after teaming up with Allen in his new Amazon series Crisis In Six Scenes.

“I live a similar life to Woody — I live a public life. Until I know someone and I know their story, I never really judge anyone. That’s kind of how I went into it,” she told Variety when asked about her knowledge of the sexual abuse allegations. “From the way I saw him with his family, I never saw him be anything but an incredible person and a really great dad. People might slam me for saying that. I’m sure it was a hard time for that family. My family has been through hard things, and I think everyone’s suffering is different.”

Vulture points out that this is essentially the same argument Kristen Stewart used when asked about the topic (Stewart was in Allen’s 2016 film Cafe Society).

In the interview, Miley also discusses coming out as pansexual and her work with the LGBTQ community. Read the whole thing here.
