I don't think I've stayed silent at all: Cate Blanchett on Woody Allen

Hollywood star Cate Blanchett has claimed she knew nothing about sexual abuse allegations aimed at filmmaker Woody Allen when they worked together on "Blue Jasmine".

The actor won a best actress Oscar for her part in the the 2013 comedy drama.

During an appearance on CNN's Amanpour, host Christiane Amanpour asked her how she could juxtapose being a #MeToo proponent while staying silent on Allen.

To which Blanchett replied, "I don't think I've stayed silent at all. At the time that I worked with Woody Allen, I knew nothing of the allegations. At the time, I said it's a very painful and complicated situation for the family, which I hope they have the ability to resolve."
