Allen was never involved in a criminal trial over the charges and his career was not damaged until 2017, when the #MeToo movement spread — caused by journalist Ronan Farrow, Dylan’s brother’s articles, about former film producer Harvey Weinstein — the accusations against him returned. Since then, many actors and directors have distanced themselves from Allen, apologizing for working with him in the past and refusing to do so in the future.
