10 Undeniable Facts About the Woody Allen Sexual-Abuse Allegation | Vanity Fair

That looks quite convincing. I thought Dylan Farrow's letter was fairly convincing anyway.
I suppose him being white might help his cause; and his money.
It is strange the way the reviewers just reviewed his movie as if nothing had changed, a few weeks ago.

Money and fame !!!

This reminds me of Romain Polanski.

I was just going to mention Roman Polanski. His crime sure hasn't hurt his career.

That's only because he fled to Europe and can't come back to the US because he could be arrested, I think.

Woody Allen defended Polanski in an interview I read. And I read an article awhile back that listed pedophilic references in Woody Allen's movies.

I stopped supporting his films when, in his 50's, he was caught having a secret sexual relationship with Mia Farrow's teenaged daughter, including nude photos, whom he was a father figure to, while still involved with her mother, Mia. He married the young girl later, and they have 2 adopted daughters. :shudders:

That's a little scary. You'd think Soon-Yi more than anyone else would know how dangerous that could be.

I am stopping searching more stuff, so creeped out by Woody Allen. His adopted daughters--one looks like his current wife when she was young, the other looks like the daughter that accused him of abuse at age 7...

Any other Americans here hold your dad's hand constantly at 14 years old?

Probably prison. He plead guilty to the rape.

Then there was Neil Goldschmidt. And Bill Clinton. Disillusionment doesn't even begin to address it. Men are pigs.

What was the term for making generalizations about an entire gender? s... something. I think it ends with an "ism".

'Feminaz' is the prefix.

The 'naz' warranted not just by the 'guilty untill proved innocent' making a total pigs abortion of anything resembling a civilised justice process; More by the uni-gendered 'forever guilty once accused' antithesis of basic human decency.

I don't know who the Neil person is, but Bill Clinton didn't rape anyone. He had an affair, and for all we know, the Clinton's might have had an open marriage.

Heh, I thought of Porco Rosso when I posted that. Fair enough, some men are pigs. And men with power seem to be disproportionately porcine.

Clinton has been accused of rape, although none of the allegations have been substantiated, AFAIK.

Power corrupts.

The big deal is very simple, PVL.

If you apply due process (innocent until proven guilty, etc) to accused rapists then the risk/threat of unsubstantiated rape accusations holds far less fear.

That, amongst other things, would affect the 'right' of anyone who has ever had, or not had, a sexual encounter with a male to a free meal ticket for life.

It probably still means a lot to the women involved. And maybe Cosby's wife and children.

Would you let your teenaged daughter go to his house unescorted, even with his advanced age? There are more effective date rape drugs than quaaludes these days, and erection meds for old guys.
