Woody Allen

Lest anyone thinks these are recent trumped up charges against him, they are not

These charges were made decades ago, before any of the recent spate of allegations against him

Mia might have been a bit strange early in her life, but she can not be faulted for her work on behalf of children

She adopted a lot of kids that were not considered adoptable. She has been a good mother, and the only one that gave her problems was Soon Yi wife of Woody Allen

Soon Yi was barely legal age, when their affair began, and he was her father figure for some years, when he and Mia were a duo

It makes me sick to see some people give him a pass ,while others are called to answer for their actions, by these same people( Scarlet Johansson) sp

I hear his latest picture might get scrapped , because of his actions toward his daughter

I suspect some of the people defending him are people who worked on his films, and might be hoping to do so again..

I used to really like his films, but I will never see another of them

Woody who?! His career and reputation long gone. Many stood by Dylan when facts came out. His name means exactly what it is! Meaningless. Boycotted him then and now. List has grown! Long time favorite, Dustin Hoffman.

Too many people looked the other way, hopefully that will come to an end, but I have my doubts.

it's definitely on the number of actors who worked with him after Soon Yi issue. no one had an excuse then. people have to take responsibility for their priorities.

He is so obvious about it.

What gall.

I find it sad that Mia ever got involved with him. I believe the accusations are true and think he is mentally unstable.

Problem with sexual predators very good at fooling people. Same as serial killers. Remember Ted Buddy! Monster in spite of his looks.

He might be a perv, but he's very intelligent. Woody Allen uses his nerdy persona as a disguise. There are still people who claim Mia planted these stories in the kids' heads...I've ALWAYS believed Dylan Farrow.

Look who he married...

I have been boycotting him since this first happened. As far as I'm concerned, his actions were the ultimate betrayal.

I certainly wouldn't want the likes of Alec Baldwin defending me. The way he spoke to his own young daughter, has never ceased to sicken me

He screamed at her ,and called her a selfish litte pig. I hope he treats his new family better than that.

Woody Allen repulses me.

His reputation ruined. No place for him to hide. Retribution may be slow. In the court of public opinion! He's as good as dead.

I never liked Woody Allen but another of the children has spoken about this. His name is Moses.

suzyQ3 — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 18:54:54 GMT

I loved his work and still do.

Re: Woody Allen

YorkieonmyPillow — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 19:00:27 GMT

@Pruett I was aware of Moses. It isn't unusual for some members of a dysfunctional family to be in denial. It all comes down to who you believe, and I don't believe Mia Farrow would "coach" her daughter to say she was molested. JMO

I remember him shrugging off the implications of his seduction of what amounted to his older "step-daughter", Soon-yi. I agree that he was her father figure-- although not married to her mother Mia, she was his often live-in romantic partner. He enacted the father role with her children.

He smarmily said at the time, in what I suppose he thought was a justification for his creepy acts---- "The heart wants what it wants". Gack. if he were a character in one of his own films, would he not mock and parody such repugnant solipsism and self-deception?

He revealed his character.

Roman Polanski had talent. The brilliant 70's film noir "Chinatown" demonstrates that. But movie craftsmen like Allen and Polanski have forefeited a good chunk of their audiences with their abusive exploitation of children, cravenly applauding actresses like Meryl Streep notwithstanding.

Moses has changed his tune. He used to vehemently say Woody abused Dylan when he was younger. He also said Woody threatened to smash his teeth down his throat....

@cherry

I do not go out to any movies, and the ones I do watch are not random ones that "just happen to be on" when I turn on our TV set. They are either ones I specifically DVR, or those I choose to watch free via Amazon Prime.

Woody Allen? Never was a fan even before any of his "secret" activities were uncovered. While I do like comedy, he never fit my versions of funny.

My favorite WA film is Radio Days. I stopped going to them after all of the abuse charges surfaced....I will not support people like him financially, nor actors who support pedophiles, like Meryl Streep..My conscience won't permit me to @hckynut
