Woody Allen Heckled at Broadway Musical for Sexual Abuse Allegations: 'I Think He Did It!' Shouted Woman
Woody Allen was heckled while attending a Broadway showing of "After Midnight," a musicalm. The acclaimed director was with his wife and two daughters Saturday when a woman in the audience implied that he had molested his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow.
Woody Allen's heckling came after the musical had finished. As the audience stood for the ovation, Allen, his wife Soon-Yi and his daughters Bechet and Manzie attempted to leave quietly and avoid the crowd, but not before being called out by one boisterous woman.
"A 60-something woman loudly exclaimed to her friend, 'I think he did it!' as Woody and his family scooted out," a witness told The New York Post's Page Six, adding that Soon-Yi shot her a mean look in return.

The controversy is ongoing since Allen was accused publicly by his son, Ronan Farrow, on behalf of his sister Dylan. Ronan encouraged people not to celebrate his father's accomplishments because he allegedly sexually abused Dylan— something the director has always denied.
Dylan addressed the controversy in an open letter to The New York Times on Feb. 1 and by continuing to speak to media outlets about the backlash she has received from actors and even her own family.
"People are saying that I am not actually remembering what I remember. People are saying my 'evil mother' brainwashed me because they refuse to believe that my sick, evil father would ever molest me, because we live in this society where victim blaming and inexcusable behavior – this taboo against shaming the famous at the expense of their victims – is accepted and excused," Dylan told People magazine.
Allen has denied any wrongdoing and said that he was disappointed in the accusations, which his representative said were "untrue and disgraceful." Farrow has received criticism from actress Cate Blanchett, actor Charlie Sheen, and even her own brother, Moses.
