Scarlett Johansson defends her support for Woody Allen

In an interview with The Telegraph, Scarlett Johansson explained her stand and confessed that it was ‘hard to know’ whether she had lost any friends for supporting Allen. The Black Widow star said, “You never know what the domino effect is, exactly. But my mom always encouraged me to be myself, [to see] that it’s important to have integrity and stand up for what you believe in.” She further added that she has matured enough to understand everything. Scarlett Johansson said, “At the same time, I think it’s also important to know when it’s not your turn. I don’t mean that you should silence yourself. I mean, sometimes it’s just not your time. And that’s something I’ve understood more as I’ve matured.”Also Read : Scarlett Johansson Joins Forces With Mike Flanagan For Bold New Exorcist Movie Back in 2019, Johansson had told The Hollywood Reporter, “I would work with him anytime.
