Scarlett Johansson is refusing to turn her back on filmmaker pal Woody Allen, insisting she’s convinced he didn’t molest his daughter.

A host of the director’s former leading ladies, including Greta Gerwig, Freida Pinto, Ellen Page, Rebecca Hall and Mira Sorvino, have refused to work with him again following claims made by his estranged daughter, Dylan Farrow, and supported by her brother Ronan and their mother Mia, Woody’s ex-partner, but Scarlett has joined the growing list of his supporters.

In a new Hollywood Reporter interview, the actress reveals she has had tough conversations with her friends and she feels sure he didn’t do the things he’s accused of doing.

“I love Woody. I believe him, and I would work with him anytime” she tells the publication. “I see Woody whenever I can, and I have had a lot of conversations with him about it. I have been very direct with him, and he’s very direct with me. He maintains his innocence, and I believe him.”
