For many years, Woody Allen's dark past divides Hollywood into two camps: those who condemn the director and those who support him.

So, recently Selena Gomez confirmed her participation in the filming of a new film by Woody Allen, but the fans did not like this news, because in Hollywood there are bad rumors about the director's reputation.

In 2014, the adopted daughter Woody told in an interview with an American newspaper that he "touched" and molested her, and later in 2016, the director's son confessed that he also experienced sexual abuse in his childhood by his father.

Earlier Kate Winslet and Justin Timberlake starred in the latest Allen movie "The Wheel of Wonders", the release of which is scheduled for the end of this year.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Winslet admitted that she was not at all embarrassed by the cooperation with a person who had such an ambiguous past. According to her convictions, a professional actor must depart from personal experiences and attitudes towards the director as a person.

"I did not know Woody personally, and did not know anything about his family. Allen is an extremely talented director, like Roman Polanski. I had a chance to work with these two directors, and it's priceless, "- said the actress.

Recall, previously Michael Douglas told how he turned a nurse into a monster.
