Sean Penn expresses doubt about Woody Allen sex abuse allegations: ‘WHO BENEFITTED FROM THAT?’

Sean Penn weighed in on Woody Allen’s alleged sexual abuse of adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, and said he would happily collaborate with the director again.

“I’d work with him in a heartbeat — if it was the right thing,” Penn said on Tuesday’s episode of the Louis Theroux Podcast.

Penn starred alongside Samantha Morton, Uma Thurman and Anthony LaPaglia in the 1999 musical comedy Sweet and Lowdown, which Allen wrote and directed.

Theroux asked the two-time Oscar winner whether he thought the 89-year-old filmmaker had “a bad rap.”

Penn replied: “With these things, I don’t know anyone well enough to say, ‘100%, this didn’t happen, that didn’t happen.’”

He added: “The stories are mostly told by people that I wouldn’t trust with a dime. It just seems so heavily weighted in that way.”

Penn scoffed when Theroux pointed out that it was both Dylan, 39, and her journalist brother, Ronan Farrow, who made the allegations, which were initiated by their mother, Mia Farrow..

“Well, you gave him that title, not me. But yes, Ronan Farrow,” Penn snapped, prompting Theroux to point out that Ronan “writes for the New Yorker” and is “quite respected.”

Penn admitted that he is “an ignoramus,” but noted, “I am not aware of any clinical psychologist or psychiatrist or anyone I’ve ever heard talk or spoken to around the subject of pedophilia that in 80 years of life, there’s accusations of it happening only once.”

In 1992, Dylan alleged that her adoptive father had molested her when she was seven, though he has long denied any accusations of sexual abuse and was never charged.

Allen responded that Mia concocted the allegation after they broke up and he started dating her other adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn — whom he married in 1997.

Dylan has maintained her story for decades. She first went public in 2014 with an open letter in the New York Times.

Four years later, following sex abuse allegations involving the now-convicted Harvey Weinstein, Dylan penned an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times asking, “Why has the #MeToo revolution spared Woody Allen?”

The Dead Man Walking star suggested the general public “check him with the facts separate from the moment and the (#MeToo) movement and all.”

Penn asked: “Who benefitted from that? Let’s just take a second. That’s all I’m saying.”

The 64-year-old added that he presumes Allen is “innocent” because he has never been proven guilty of a crime.
