Scarlett Johansson isn’t backing down from her long-standing support of Woody Allen, and she’s making it clear she’s not afraid to stick to her convictions—even when it puts her in the blast zone. In a new interview, she said she can’t tell whether her public defense of Allen over the years has cost her work or friends, but she grew up being taught to hold her ground and value integrity. At the same time, she says she’s learned that sometimes it’s just not your moment to jump into the fray. Johansson has been one of the very few major Hollywood names who never distanced herself from Allen amid Dylan Farrow’s long-standing allegations of sexual abuse—allegations Allen denies and has never been charged with. Scarlett has worked with Allen multiple times and has repeatedly said she believes him and would work with him again. She’s acknowledged her stance triggers people but insists supporting her friend doesn’t mean she ignores or dismisses women who come forward—she believes each case should be judged individually.
