Scarlett Johansson, the star of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has defended Woody Allen, who was effectively “cancelled” in Hollywood after allegations of sexual abuse involving a minor. The actress says the torrent of criticism aimed at the director’s private life has not changed how she views him; her upbringing and personal principles outweigh any professional considerations.
Johansson insists that her convictions matter more than public opinion. She believes it’s crucial to uphold one’s principles, even when they are unpopular with others.
Asked whether that stance had harmed her reputation, Scarlett paused. It’s difficult to draw firm conclusions, though some ripple effect likely occurred — a consequence she may have accepted as inevitable.
