Woody Allen speaks out
NY Times ^ | 2/7/2014 | Woody Allen

Posted on 02/07/2014 6:23:09 PM PST by Borges

I was a 56-year-old man who had never before (or after) been accused of child molestation. I had been going out with Mia for 12 years and never in that time did she ever suggest to me anything resembling misconduct. Now, suddenly, when I had driven up to her house in Connecticut one afternoon to visit the kids for a few hours, when I would be on my raging adversary’s home turf, with half a dozen people present, when I was in the blissful early stages of a happy new relationship with the woman I’d go on to marry — that I would pick this moment in time to embark on a career as a child molester should seem to the most skeptical mind highly unlikely.

Leftism is not the unforgiveable sin, you hypocrite.

Oh, you have many unconfessed sins too that you gloss over.

"you hypocrite."

Nope, I'm way plenty into reflecting (equitable) blame.

I agree , while never a Woody Allen fan ,I tend to believe his explanation here . I have always seen Mia Farrow as a full fledged tinfoil hat looney case . Having known some intense plotting , vindictive , ultra wealthy bi#ches before , I would say she fits the mold . I would bet you that all parties involved voted for Obama .

take a simple lie detector test....case closed. Polygraphs are seldom wrong and while not 100%reliable, are indicative of guilt or innocense

I’ve read both letters. My impression is that there’s a chance that the abuse occurred,but an equal chance that there was some staging by a vindictive woman.

Mia seems crazier to me than Woody.

I’ll still watch his movies. Love Crimes and Misdomeanors.

"God can make a different Woody out of him. But it’s up to Woody to accept that."

I would pray the that is the case. It would require complete metanoia however, which seems unlikely given this statement found in his Wiki bio:

"Allen has described himself as being a "militant Freudian atheist".[144]"

Too many men have ended up in jail because of the lies of a vengeful ex-wife. Accusing one’s husband of assault or child-molesting is the easiest thing in the world, and coaching a child to lie is the second-easiest. I dislike Woody Allen and I have never enjoyed his movies or thought he is the genius others call him, but Allen lives in a nation where we are supposed to assume that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. There is no medical evidence that this girl was molested. That being the case, her accusations are without merit and the case is not proven.

I don’t understand why Freepers, who are supposed to believe in the rule of law, are so quick to assume that there is truth to these accusations.

If you were accused of something like this would you stay silent?

She was not his step child. Or his adopted child...nor did he ever have a parental relationship with her. Facts are stubborn things.

“Allen refused to take a polygraph administered by the Connecticut state police. Instead, he took one from someone hired by his legal team. The Connecticut state police refused to accept the test as evidence. The state attorney, Frank Maco, says that Mia was never asked to take a lie-detector test during the investigation.”
