Kate Winslet admits 'bitter regrets' over 'poor decisions' in speech presumably aimed at Woody Allen

Kate Winslet is owning up -- sort of -- to her controversial choice to work with Woody Allen.

"I wouldn’t be able to stand here this evening, and keep to myself some bitter regrets that I have at poor decisions to work with individuals with whom I wish I had not,” Winslet said Sunday night at the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards.

While she didn't call out Allen by name, the next part of her speech more clearly indicated that she was referring to him.

“It has become clear to me that by not saying anything, I might be adding to the anguish of many courageous women and men. Sexual abuse is a crime,” she said. “While it rests with the rule of law to pass judgement, it lies with all of us to listen to the smallest of voices and to never stop listening.”

Winslet is one of countless stars now forced to own up to their decisions to work with Allen, an alleged sexual predator whose daughter, Dylan Farrow, has long asserted that he sexually abused her as a child. Allen's new film "Wonder Wheel" stars Winslet, Justin Timberlake and Jim Belushi.

Farrow herself called out Timberlake last week after Timberlake tweeted, "Can someone please explain the saying, “You just want your cake and to eat it too.” What else am I about to do with a cake??"

Farrow responded, "The saying means, for example, you can’t support #TIMESUP and praise sexual predators at the same time. You can’t retain your credibility as an activist (i.e. - retain the cake) and, at the same time, praise a sexual predator (i.e. - eating the cake)."
