re: I can't watch a Woody Allen movie any more

he lived with farrow and these children...she's adopted (ok by farrow)

woody and soon yi first met when she was 8 (oldest as her age is not specifically known) and they lived together for over 10 years...and then mia farrow finds nude photos of her...dude, weird as shite.

unusual, and relevant to the accusations against him. We're not in court. Would you leave your daughter with woody allen?

I'm not even saying he should be in jail, I'm saying I think he's a child molester and as such cannot watch his movies

No, I would not leave any young family members with the creep. It's weird shite all around.

It's just that it seems like a mudslinging situation of everyone going back and forth. When that happens, I just have a tendency to think that everyone is full of shite. What kind of crazy shite could Farrow have been getting up to for her to have tolerated this situation all along? Was it only selfish reasons that led to the split with Allen?

I don't really believe anything that either of them say. And as a result I'm doubtful of what the kids say because they may have been "brainwashed" at a young age by either parent.

it's really neither. people with FMS legit think these things happened to them

So again, you're just talking out of your arse. You can accuse any witness of this, but it doesn't have any credence unless you can produce a shred of evidence to support something that is really just a whimsical theory of yours, fascinating or not.

but i posted disputed (and just as biased) accounts of the same stuff. that's how life works

"That's just how life works, your honor. Let my client go." Yeah, good luck.

Attempting to discredit people through use of sensational terms such as "crusade" isn't going to work out for you either, counselor. Creative terminology or not, it doesn't alter the fact that their story has not changed, whereas Allen's has. And again, their personal stake in the matter is infinitesimal compared to what he would stand to lose.

But like Fox said, we don't know what happened, and he was never convicted. Personally, I think the guy is a child molester, and vague, pseudo-psychic theories as to the mental state of his accusers won't sway that opinion.

What is it with you and the satanists? Did you recently join a cult? You know, it's all fun and orgies until the crazies start to get bored with it.

if I were going to use this exact sentence, it would probably be the lead in to me explaining why allen marrying soon yi is unsettling

and there have been some implications of Farrow being manipulative and dishonest

1. Mia never went to the police about the allegation of sexual abuse. Her lawyer told her on August 5, 1992, to take the seven-year-old Dylan to a pediatrician, who was bound by law to report Dylan’s story of sexual violation to law enforcement and did so on August 6.

quote:

---

Allen subsequently lost four exhaustive court battles—a lawsuit, a disciplinary charge against the prosecutor, and two appeals—and was made to pay more than $1 million in Mia’s legal fees. Judge Elliott Wilk, the presiding judge in Allen’s custody suit against Farrow, concluded that there is “no credible evidence to support Mr. Allen’s contention that Ms. Farrow coached Dylan or that Ms. Farrow acted upon a desire for revenge against him for seducing Soon-Yi."

---

quote:

---

5. In his 33-page decision, Judge Wilk found that Mr. Allen’s behavior toward Dylan was “grossly inappropriate and that measures must be taken to protect her.” The judge also recounts Farrow’s misgivings regarding Allen’s behavior toward Dylan from the time she was between two and three years old. According to the judge’s decision, Farrow told Allen, “You look at her [Dylan] in a sexual way. You fondled her . . . You don’t give her any breathing room. You look at her when she’s naked.”

The judge said this in a custody battle...not a civil suit, criminal trial...custody

Is it OK to enjoy productions by people you despise?

---

I suppose its OK. However, if I don't care for an actor or director I chose not to watch products they're part of. My choice. Somehow I will survive not seeing a single Bourne film.

So this post is a perfect example of how multiple small pieces of false information accumulate over the years, and get passed on because they support the narrative that people want to believe, or justify someones story or suspicion or pre-existing feelings etc. I think "lore" is a good term for this.

False.

Andre Previn is and was always Soon-Yi's only father or paternal figure. Even Mia has admitted in testimony that Soonyi and Woody had little contact while she was growing up. Soon-yi doesnt even remember ever having a conversation with him.

and they lived together for over 10 years

---

just not true. Never lived together.


While none of these things exonerates him by itself, the cumulative effect of small lies and well-intentioned misinformation is falsely damning. Don't believe everything you read.


Not to mention, we are talking about a >20 year relationship that has produced nothing but a happy family including prosperous children, a content wife and lots of great creative work. Does that sound like a habitual child molester? Where are all these abused children?

It's time to face the fact that we were all jumping to some false conclusions when everybody freaked out about WA back in the early 90s. The tabloid culture is powerful that way. It was weird (very weird) at the time, and our baser selves took that weirdness and ran with it.

We were wrong. A decades long successful marriage proves it.

Woody, is that you?

Yeah, the tabloids got to the courts and numerous people involved. You're excuse making is pathetic.

I can still enjoy their work. I was just arguing the merits of the case against Allen. shite, I became a huge fan at the tender age of about 9, when I was home sick and a mini-marathon came on TV. Having said that, I'm still glad Woody wasn't around at the time.
