Dylan Farrow Talks Sexual Abuse by Woody Allen & More on CBS THIS MORNING

In her first television interview, Dylan Farrow opens up to CBS THIS MORNING co-host Gayle King about her allegations that she was sexually abused by her father, Woody Allen, and discusses Hollywood's #TimesUp movement. Previews will air tomorrow on CBS THIS MORNING and the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH JEFF GLOR, with the interview broadcast on CBS THIS MORNING Thursday, Jan. 18 (7:00-9:00 AM).

"I am credible, and I am telling the truth, and I think it's important that people realize that one victim, one accuser, matters. And that they are enough to change things," Farrow tells King during a wide-ranging interview conducted Monday at her home in Bridgewater, Conn.

In 1992, Farrow, the adopted daughter of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, accused Allen of sexually assaulting her when she was 7 years old. Allen has repeatedly denied those allegations. However, Farrow's allegations have now resurfaced in the light of the movement in Hollywood to expose sexual abuse in the workplace.

Since launching on Jan. 9, 2012, CBS THIS MORNING has increased CBS' audience in the time period by 44% - or 1.01 million viewers - while NBC's "Today" lost 15% of its total audience and ABC's "Good Morning America" has plunged 12%. CBS THIS MORNING is in its closest competitive position with "Today" in at least three decades and with "GMA" in nearly two decades. Television year-to-date, CBS THIS MORNING is delivering CBS its second-highest morning audience in three decades, surpassed only by 2016's election-influenced performance.

Each weekday morning, Gayle King, Norah O'Donnell and John Dickerson deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs. The broadcast has earned a prestigious Peabody Award, a Polk Award, three News & Documentary Emmys, three Daytime Emmys and the 2017 Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Newscast. The broadcast was also honored with an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award as part of CBS News' division-wide coverage of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Ryan Kadro is the executive producer of CBS THIS MORNING and CBS THIS MORNING: SATURDAY.
