Cate Blanchett says she didn't know about the claims of molestation against director Woody Allen during the time that she worked with him.

Blanchett, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her leading performance in Allen's 2013 film 'Blue Jasmine', said she is in support of another investigation into the claims made by Allen's daughter with ex-partner Mia Farrow, Dylan Farrow, that he molested her as a child.

Appearing on CNN's 'Amanpour' on Wednesday, host Christiane Amanapour asked the 48-year-old: 'How do you juxtapose being a #MeToo proponent, a Time's Up proponent, and staying silent or having worked with Woody Allen?'

'I don't think I've stayed silent at all. At the time that I worked with Woody Allen, I knew nothing of the allegations,' the Australian actress responded.

'At the time, I said it's a very painful and complicated situation for the family, which I hope they have the ability to resolve.'

She continued: 'If these allegations need to be reexamined which, in my understanding, they've been through court, then I'm a big believer in the justice system and setting legal precedents. If the case needs to be reopened, I am absolutely, wholeheartedly in support of that.'

Despite supporting legal action, Blanchett also stressed that when it comes to allegations of sexual harassment or sexual abuse, social media is 'not the judge and jury'.

'I feel that these things need to go into court, so if these abuses have happened, the person is prosecuted and so someone who is not in the shiny industry that I am [in] can use that legal precedent to protect themselves,' she said.

'Always, in my industry or any other industry, they're preyed upon because they're vulnerable.'

Dylan Farrow (left, with Allen in 1989, and right in 2016) reiterated claims of abuse during a January 18 interview with 'CBS This Morning', and claims the abuse occurred in 1992

Many actors and actresses who previously worked with Allen (pictured, November 2017) have renounced the director since the allegations emerged claiming that he abused Dylan in 1992, which Allen has staunchly and continuously denied.

Three of the stars of Allen's latest film 'A Rainy Day in New York' - Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Hall, and Griffin Newman - have already announced that they're donating their salaries to charities like RAINN and Time's Up in light of the accusations.

But there are several who have stood by Allen as well. Blanchett's 'Blue Jasmine' costar Alec Baldwin called Farrow's allegations 'unfair and sad' and even went as far as to suggest they were false.

And Diane Keaton, who starred in eight of Allen's films including 'Manhattan' and 'Annie Hall' - and had a romantic relationship with the director - tweeted back in January: 'Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him.'
