Javier Bardem has repeated his defense of Woody Allen, claiming that sexual abuse allegations against him are “just gossip.” Actor Bardem, who worked with the director on 2008 film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has previously said he doesn’t believe the accusations that have seen other Hollywood stars turn their backs on Allen. In a new interview with the Guardian, he said, “Pointing fingers at someone is very dangerous if it hasn’t been legally proven. Beyond that, it’s just gossip.”
