Earlier in the week Scarlett Johansson defended Woody Allen during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Allen’s daughter Dylan Farrow wasn’t too happy with the move and attacked the actress on social media.
So it’s little wonder the 34-year-old Lucy star was spotted trying to keep a low profile as she walked through the John F. Kennedy airport in New York City on Friday. With a hat pulled down low and sunglasses over her eyes, the beauty looked at the ground while leaving her flight.

Scarlett turned her head to the side to laugh at a man walking next to her at one point.

Big interview: The starlet’s trip to the big apple follows an interview she did in which she revealed she doesn’t believe that Allen 𝑠e𝑥ually abused his adopted daughter back in the early 1990s
The star’s trip to the Big Apple follows an interview she did in which she revealed she doesn’t believe that Allen 𝑠e𝑥ually abused his adopted daughter Dylan back in the early 1990s.
Johansson who has starred in three of Allen’s films told the publication on Wednesday: ‘I love Woody. I believe him, and I would work with him anytime’.
Back in 1992, Farrow claimed Allen 𝑠e𝑥ually abused her at the Connecticut home she shared with her mother, Allen’s partner Mia Farrow.

At the time of the alleged abuse, Farrow was just seven years old.
A subsequent court court case in 1993 concluded that the allegation of 𝑠e𝑥ual abuse had not been proven, and Allen has maintained his innocence to this day.
Dylan continues to stand by her allegations against Allen, writing a highly-publicized open letter in The New York Times in 2014, reiterating that the abuse took place.
Allen’s latest film, A Rainy Day in New York with Selena Gomez, Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning and Kelly Rohrbach, has been shelved in the US.
But Johansson says she has no regrets about working with Allen on three movies in the mid-2000s – Match Point (2005), Scoop (2006) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008).
Coming up, Scarlett will star in Jojo Rabbit with rebel Wilson and Sam Rockwell and then in Black widow with Rachel Weisz.
She will also lend her voice to animated children’s movie, Sing 2.
Scarlett has one daughter, a 5-year-old named Rose who she shares with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
The stunner was also previously wed to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011.
