Lady Birdwriter and Japandirector Greta Gerwig has finally gone on the record about Woody Allen, accused by his daughter Dylan Farrow of sexual assault.

Gerwig made a much-awaited statement about the director when she joined New York Timesop-ed columnist Frank Bruni for an online conversation with Molly's Gamewriter and director Aaron Sorkin about their own movies and the year in general.

Allen's daughter Farrow has slammed several supporters of the anti-harassment initiative Time's Up, including Gerwig, Blake Lively, Emma Stone, Cate Blanchett and Scarlett Johansson, for continuing to work with her father.

Backstage at the Golden Globes, after winning Best Picture for her film Lady Bird, Gerwig was ambiguous when asked about working with Allen on the 2012 film To Rome with Love. Now, in the NY Timesinterview, she told Bruni that she regretted working with Allen on the film, and that, "I will not work for him again."

"I would like to speak specifically to the Woody Allen question, which I have been asked about a couple of times recently, as I worked for him on a film that came out in 2012," she said. "It is something that I take very seriously and have been thinking deeply about, and it has taken me time to gather my thoughts and say what I mean to say."

"I can only speak for myself and what I’ve come to is this: If I had known then what I know now, I would not have acted in the film. I have not worked for him again, and I will not work for him again."

"If I had known then what I know now, I would not have acted in the film."

Gerwig then made reference directly to Farrow's op-eds for the New York Timesand LA Times, and their impact on her opinion of Allen.

"Dylan Farrow’s two differentpiecesmade me realize that I increased another woman’s pain, and I was heartbroken by that realization. I grew up on his movies, and they have informed me as an artist, and I cannot change that fact now, but I can make different decisions moving forward."

Farrow, who was adopted by Allen and actress Mia Farrow, says Allen sexually assaulted her in the attic when she was 7 years old. She first publicly accused Allen of the assault in a 2014 open letter published by the New York Times, in which she adds he'd often "place his head in my naked lap and breathe in and breathe out." Allen has adamantly disputed her account. Ultimately, a custody judge in the '90s ruled that Allen's behavior was "grossly inappropriate" but the case did not go to criminal trial.

Whether Allen's other supporters, including a defensive Lively, will change their minds like Gerwig remains to be seen.
