According to Fox News, in an interview with Vanity Fair, the 44-year-old Oscar winner star pointed out, “It’s like, what the f**k was I doing working with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski?

The following topic, of working with the two directors arose when Kate said she hoped to do her “best when it comes to setting a decent example to younger women.” The Titanic actor added that now, she must “take responsibility for the fact that I worked with them both.”

She said, “I can’t turn back the clock. I’m grappling with those regrets but what do we have if we aren’t able to just be f**king truthful about all of it?”

In 2011, she appeared in Roman’s Carnage and in Woody’s Wonder Wheel, which debuted in 2017. Woody has been the subject of public scrutiny since beginning a relationship with actor Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of his former partner Mia Farrow.

He was also accused of sexual abuse against his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow in 1993. Dylan addressed the allegations for the first time in a 2014 letter published in the New York Times that she was ‘sexually assaulted’ by the director. Woody has denied her allegations.

Kate said, “But at the same time, I didn’t know Woody and I don’t know anything about that family. As the actor in the film, you just have to step away and say, I don’t know anything, really and whether any of it is true or false. Having thought it all through, you put it to one side and just work with the person. Woody Allen is an incredible director. So is Roman Polanski. I had an extraordinary working experience with both of those men, and that’s the truth.”
