American actor Scarlett Johansson in her interview was casual about the criticism she received after she passed a controversial statement for American actor and director Woody Allen. The actress said that she would stick to her statement and does not want to change what she feels. The 35-year-old actor was criticized for supporting Woody Allen, who was accused of sexual abuse. Johansson said, “She doesn't want to "edit" herself when it comes to sharing her feelings,”. She further added, “I don't have that. It's just not a part of my personality. I don't want to have to edit myself or temper what I think or say. I can't live that way. It's just not me."
Johansson, in her recent interview said, "And also I think that when you have that kind of integrity, it's going to probably rub people, some people, the wrong way, And that's kind of par for the course, I guess." In September 2019, during one of the interviews, Johansson was asked to comment on how she feels working with Woody Allen, who was accused of sexual abuse. She said, "I love Woody, I believe him, and I would work with him anytime." During that time the actress was working on several movies like Scoop', 'Match Point', and 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona which were directed by Woody Allen. However, Allen dismissed all the charges against him. Johansson displayed her trust and faith in the director and said, “I have been very direct with him, and he's very direct with me. He maintains his innocence, and I believe him."
