Pre-empting criticism the move might prompt, Baldwin wrote in the caption: “Let me preface this by stating that I have ZERO INTEREST in anyone’s judgments and sanctimonious posts here.”
The 64-year-old actor continued: “I am OBVIOUSLY someone who has my own set of beliefs and COULD NOT CARE LESS about anyone else’s speculation. If you believe that a trial should be conducted by way of an HBO documentary, that’s your issue.”
Allen has vehemently denied that he abused Dylan and he has not been criminally charged. He has claimed that the “scorned” Farrow coached or cajoled Dylan to level accusations against him as retaliation for his relationship with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn.
Baldwin has worked with Allen on a number of films, including “To Rome with Love,” “Alice” and “Blue Jasmine.”
He reiterated his support for the Oscar-winning director in the Instagram video, saying: “I love you, Woody. Instagram, I’m with Woody, Tuesday, 10.30. Be there.”
An investigation by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department into the incident is ongoing. Hutchins’ family filed a wrongful death suit against Baldwin and the “Rust” crew and production company in February.
