Dylan Farrow had previously condemned the publication of her estranged father’s memoir, calling the decision to publish “deeply upsetting” and an “utter betrayal” of her brother Ronan.

In 2014, Farrow wrote an open letter for The New York Times detailing the alleged abuse she suffered at Allen’s hands. She had previously accused him of assaulting her in 1993, when she was eight, and said that the abuse occurred when she was seven.

Dylan said she had never been contacted by fact-checkers to verify her father’s memoir. “Hachette’s publishing of Woody Allen’s memoir is deeply upsetting to me personally and an utter betrayal of my brother, whose brave reporting, capitalised on by Hachette, gave voice to numerous survivors of sexual assault by powerful men,” she said.

She added that the upcoming memoir “provides yet another example of the profound privilege that power, money and notoriety affords” and that Hachette should have to answer for its “complicity”.
