Woody Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has expressed her deep anger at Hollywood's recent celebration of the director, although he sexually assaulted her at the age of seven.

Farrow made the child molestation allegations in a first person account published in The New York Times.

Dylan, who is Mia Farrow's adopted daughter, first told her mother about the encounter, who in turn seeked legal help, specially after knowing about Allen's affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Farrow Previn, who was 20 years old at the time. Prosecutors decided not to pursue charges, and Mia Farrow was awarded custody of the couple’s three children in 1993 by a judge who denied Allen visitation rights with Dylan Farrow.

"What if it had been your child, Cate Blanchett? Louis CK? Alec Baldwin? What if it had been you, Emma Stone? Or you, Scarlett Johansson? You knew me when I was a little girl, Diane Keaton. Have you forgotten me?" Dylan spoke emotionally to the Hollywood celebrities. She added that although she is currently happily married and living in Florida, after she finally managed to overcome her fear of men and the psychological scar Allen left with his crime, she was still determined to break her silence and legally pursue the 78-year-old director.

Woody Allen has recently received a lot of critical praise and accolades for his latest film Blue Jasmine, starring Cate Blanchett.
