Woody Allen is ‘sad’ for Harvey Weinstein amid sex abuse scandal

Woody Allen has RSVP'd as one of the few attendees of the Harvey Weinstein pity party.

Allen feels "sad" for the disgraced producer, who has been accused of sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape by more than a dozen women.

"The whole Harvey Weinstein thing is very sad for everybody involved," the 81-year-old director told the BBC. "Tragic for the poor women that were involved, sad for Harvey that his life is so messed up. There's no winners in that, it's just very, very sad and tragic for those poor women that had to go through that."

Weinstein was voted out of the Academy Saturday in the wake of the allegations, which came to light in two shocking exposés by the New York Times and the New Yorker — the latter of which was written by Allen's son, Ronan Farrow.

Allen — who famously faced a set of sexual assault allegations of his own — has worked with the Hollywood honcho multiple times since the mid-'90s, but insisted that he was entirely unaware of any rape or sexual assault claims against his colleague.

"No one ever came to me or told me horror stories with any real seriousness," Allen said. "And they wouldn't because you are not interested in it. You are interested in making your movie. But you do hear a million fanciful rumors all the time. And some turn out to be true and some — many — are just stories about this actress, or that actor."

The "Annie Hall" director added that he hoped some good might come of the situation, but also mentioned that he feared the allegations could inspire an uptight workplace culture.

"You also don't want it to lead to a witch hunt atmosphere, a Salem atmosphere, where every guy in an office who winks at a woman is suddenly having to call a lawyer to defend himself. That's not right either," Allen said. "But sure, you hope that something like this could be transformed into a benefit for people rather than just a sad or tragic situation."

Weinstein, 65, has denied any allegations of non-consensual sex.

Allen's contributions to the Weinstein conversation are controversial, considering his own checkered past when it comes to sexual assault allegations.

The famed director was dogged in the early '90s by rumors that he sexually assaulted Dylan Farrow, the daughter he adopted with actress Mia Farrow.

In 2014, Dylan addressed the long-standing rumors publicly in an open letter for the New York Times, where she claimed Allen had sexually assaulted her starting when she was 7 years old.

Allen — who was never convicted of a crime — has long denied the allegations. His relationship with Mia Farrow ended after she discovered he was having an affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, to whom Allen is now married.
