What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house.

I stand corrected. Make that a contentious break up. And my other statements still stand.
“Of course. Any man accused of a sex crime is automatically guilty.”
No, Not all men are automatically guilty. But one that has sex with his step daughter is more than likely guilty of the other charge.
And it’s people like you who have ZERO concept about how the legal system works, and would turn the courts over to judgment by “reports” and sensationalist journalism.
No where in my arguments did I say Woody Allen was a good parent. He was deemed by the judge to be “lacking knowledge of the most basic aspects of his children’s lives.” Additionally the judge took Allen’s relationship with Soon-Yi into account when he made his decision.
But again, there’s a big difference between that and accusations of child molestation. Despite Mr. Maco’s statements to the press it’s clear he NEVER would have gotten a conviction... there was simply no evidence to support a conviction. Sure he could bring charges but it would have been pointless as the Connecticut Police and a battery of psychologists had conducted their own investigations and determined that either Mia Farrow coached Dylan; Dylan was lying; or the results were simply inconclusive.
Soon-Yi Previn is not Woody Allen’s step daughter or adoptive daughter.
“Somebody should ask Mia Farrow why she is still friends with and a supporter of Roman Polanski”
If she is a friend of Polanski, then she is a big hypocrite.
Roman Polanski: What Did He Do?

“...Now, with Polanski’s arrest over the weekend at the airport in Zurich, Switzerland, there’s been renewed interest in the still pending case.
ABC News obtained transcripts of Geimer’s 1977 grand jury testimony, which resulted in six charges against Polanski. They include shocking details of 13-year-old Geimer testifying that the 43-year-old Polanski plied her with champagne and part of a Quaalude before performing oral, vaginal and anal intercourse on her, despite her demands to “keep away.”
A former Los Angeles prosecutor who worked on the case said he believes that if people knew all the details, they would have less sympathy for Polanski...”
He pled guilty to having sex with a minor, so we know he is guilty.
Soon Yi was never his daughter in any way. Allen was not married to Farrow, nor did he live with her. Thanks for making my point.
I am going to recommend to Jim that we need an AA program for Freepers. I will be the first to sign up!
FR has saved my sanity many times...now let's see if it can go a little bit further.
She wasn’t his step daughter. She was his girlfriend’s adopted daughter
After reading that it’s hard to know what to think. Though, it does appear that they are fixated on publicly destroying Allen. I hope the family finds peace.
LOL, well if you think I need to volunteer to be number two, I should explain that I was sober when I responded.
I will grant you I could have cleaned that post up a bit, but I’m going to have to own it based on my non inebriated status.
Dylan is a girl
I wanted to come back and touch on this post after the fact. It’s not out of line. What you posted is sensible and reasoned. I responded by playing off what you had written, but I didn’t view this to be out of line at all.
Whoopi Goldberg would claim it wasn’t rape rape. Even liquor and drugs and repeatedly saying NO while you are sodomized and insisting that the perp DID commit acts on you as a minor against your will was not “rape rape”. It’s hollywood, Jack. Forgehdaboudit.
Hollywood may have gotten this one bass ackwards, but do you think this will stop them from telling us in flyover country how to live?
Hollyweird praised NAZI propagandist (and Hitler's gal) Leni Riefenstahl at the Oscars following her death.
Hollywood loves Allen because he’s a piece of sh*t.
like you, I never liked him, he was weird and I just always had the feeling that he wasn’t even talented. Never saw any movies he made. He was just plain weird and ugly.
Having lived through a similar situation, you are totally right.
In some ways, the mothers who know and do nothing are worse than the molesters.
