00:00How has this affected your life?
00:02It's affected every part of my life.
00:06In her first televised interview, Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow,
00:11described in graphic detail how Allen allegedly sexually assaulted her.
00:15Speaking with CBS This Morning's Gayle King, Farrow also responded to claims that she was brainwashed and coached by her mother.
00:21And Farrow cried as she watched Allen deny the sexual assault claims in a 1992 interview with 60 Minutes.
00:27Farrow explained how Allen took her into an attic crawlspace in her mother's Connecticut home
00:31and touched her inappropriately, telling King exactly where in her body he touched her.
00:35When her mother found out what had happened, she took her daughter to the doctor.
00:39Farrow initially told the doctor that she was touched on her shoulder,
00:42but told her mother that she said that because she was embarrassed.
00:45So she went back in and told the doctor the same thing she told her mother, Farrow said.
00:51Allen used the changes in his daughter's story to suggest that she had been coached by her mother,
00:54who months earlier had discovered that Allen had been having an affair with her adopted daughter, Suni Previn.
01:00When King brought up the claim, Farrow wondered why what Allen says is more believable.
01:04How is this crazy story of me being brainwashed and coached more believable
01:08than what I'm saying about being sexually assaulted by my father?
01:13Farrow began crying when King played a clip of Allen denying the allegations during a 1992 60 Minutes interview.
01:18He's lying and he's been lying for so long.
01:25Farrow first alleged in 1992 that Allen sexually assaulted her when she was seven years old
01:29and she resurfaced her claim in a 2014 column in the New York Times
01:32and an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times last December linking Allen in the latter to the Me Too movement.
01:38In the second part of her interview, Farrow discussed her role in the Me Too and Time's Up movements
01:42and how she feels about the actors that have worked with and still esteem her father.
01:47With so much silence being broken by so many brave people against so many high-profile people,
01:52I felt it was important to add my story to theirs because it's something I've struggled with for a long time, Farrow said.
01:58Farrow, who was taken to social media to call out the actors who have starred in Allen's film,
02:02said she's not angry with them, but she sees them as complicit and perpetuating a culture of silence.
02:07When asked how they're complicit, Farrow said,
02:10Because I've been repeating my accusations unaltered for over 20 years
02:14and I have been systematically shut down, ignored or discredited.
02:18If they can't acknowledge the accusations of one survivor, how are they going to stand for all of us?
