Woody Allen's daughter: my father molested me when I was a child.

At the very least, hes was a creepy old man. Cmon man, he had an affair with his wifes adopted daughter. That is very weird. i think most people wouldnt go there if put in the same situation. Great, theyre happily married. Nobody is questioning that

 

He's always looked like lame, creepy mutha...


What a loser with no game.

 

Great find, dandorotik. Am holding out a few points for those who might not take the time to read it. It's basically why I don't put myself in the camp of "oh he's definitely a child molester." We just don't know.

It's just never made much sense that he would do that, while it makes TOTAL and complete sense that Farrow had every reason to try to go after him. I've seen a lot of divorce battles up close, and when custody is involved, full on war is no exaggeration, except that at least war has a rough nod to the Geneva convention, sometimes. People make up totally crazy, insane stuff about one another. A good friend of mine last year was accused of ridiculous criminal stuff in the divorce proceedings, with no real evidence, because it's a civil case and the accuser has no repercussions, as I understand it, to just say anything and everything that could make the other party look horrible. Sad stuff.

I don't think Allen is a saint, but I don't think the available evidence supports the claims against him in this one incident.

 

I agree, but in his case he lost the custody battle over 20 years ago.

 

What is scary, to me, is that this now happens all the time on the web. Someone accuses someone else of something, many rush to believe that person without even considering maintaining their own due process outlook, and it's on to social media vigilante justice. Sometimes, it'd be better if we just kept the web as an information source and eliminated all the Commentary features- then again, it lets us know what people are really thinking and who they are- and many out there, deep down, are gossip mongerers and insecure individuals who are looking for the next person to ostracize- it doesn't even have to be Woody Allen- it can be anybody who does anything in the public eye- guilty until proven innocent. That way, they feel better about themselves. Thank God the courts dont' act that way, for the most part.

 

Look, I don't know whether he's innocent or guilty. As a parent I have the right to judgment and would not leave my children alone with him. That's my gut instinct and nothing else towards him. I'm only speaking for myself that I would not gamble with my children. All else is debatable.

 

Exactly. And I would not leave my children alone with you, nor yours with me.

 

OLD STORY: Mia Farrow's brother was sentenced today to 25 years in prison for the sexual abuse of two young boys over an eight-year period.

Businessman John Villiers-Farrow pleaded guilty to two counts of child abuse after he was handed down 39 charges for the molestation of the boys who were his neighbors in Maryland in 2002.

So, to recap this - we have Dylan Farrow's letter- which sounds honest to me. Most sexual abuse victims do not lie.

And we have:

1. The journalist who allows her to post this letter is a close friend of Mia Farrow (conflict of interest).
2. Mia Farrow was close friends with Roman Polanski as recently as 2005, after he admitted to his statutory rape (WTF, Mia?).
3. Mia Farrow's brother was convicted of child molestation (probably unrelated, but bizarre all the same).
4. Allen was never convicted of a crime, and there was contradictory testimony from Dylan (although she was 7, so that's understandable).
5. Mia Farrow admits to cheating on Woody Allen with Frank Sinatra (who was married at the time), thus her contention that Ronan might be Frank's son (and he sure looks like him).
6. Woody Allen falls in love with and marries someone who, while not his adopted daughter, can still be considered a daughter (eww)
7. Mia Farrow allows her image to be used in the recent G.G. tribute to Woody Allen by giving permission for them to use The Purple Rose of Cairo with her in the clip (if you believe your ex molested your daughter, why in the world would you allow this?? They could not include this without her permission).
8. Woody Allen passed a lie detector (but many child molesters can pass these b/c they honestly believe they did no wrong).
9. Mia Farrow is 20 when she marries Frank Sinatra, who is 51.


And then there's the letter, again, which is powerful and rings true. This is one f**ked up deal. I would not stop watching his movies unless he admitted to it or he was found guilty. Those movies are a product of many individuals involved, even though he's the writer. I'd still listen to Jerry Lee Lewis, and he married his 13 year-old cousin. Except his music is from the 50s, so- meh, maybe not.

 

fwiw: that wasn't today. That was last year. And he and his wife claim his innocence and felt there was nothing else to do but plead for the lessor sentence. Long story there.

 

So, they were wrong on all 39 counts??? Well, sounds like maybe he should have been given the benefit of the doubt, then- just like Mr. Allen.

 

Yes, I think many people jump to the hype and like to exaggerate the facts to make Allen look more like a child molester. They will claim that Allen lived with Farrow and Soon Yi, or post innocent pictures of Allen with someone else and and try insinuate they show something illicit.

 

I'm just saying that article wasn't from today. That would be too weird. So, what's your point posting that article? And please don't assume I give him the benefit of the doubt. Is that what you thought?

I'm just stating the story is a long one and you got the time wrong and truncated it severely, so makes me not trust your previous posting of news stories.

Seems like you don't source very well, which sometimes can be evidence of a propensity to twist stories to suit ones needs.

 

Thanks.

Especially, very rarely somebody would come out telling this type of stuff about a father in the face of lying, with so many details and particularities. There should a presumed validity to what she said.

It will be interesting, if you were juror, how would you vote. It's pretty much he said, she said. I double any investigation would reveal any more than that, except for personal histories.

 

Woody Allen rep: 'Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful. He will be responding very soon'

 

Damage control

 

And if he says nothing, he's guilty by not responding. SMH

 

I'm sure he has a crisis management and pr team giving him procedure. Your starting to sound like a spokesman for alleged pedophiles rights.

 

Lol, duly noted

 

Yep, that's the mildest rebuke you'll get from me for suggesting that I would support pedophiles. Unfortunately, I am physically unable to put my hand through the screen to wherever you're sitting and give you the b****-slap you deserve.
