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

Maybe the effed up answer is that there is a larger network of child molesters in Hollywood

 

Ridiculous hotballa, Catholic priest around the world have proven this false myth.

 

It's unfortunate. While there is no proof, it's hard to believe this woman would come out and make these accusations if they did not happen. She has little to gain and it must be painful.

He's a great director, but it sounds like he is also a very flawed person who did something really horrible. I don't know if people should continue to watch his movies, I guess that's a personal judgment call to make.

It does cast things in a different light.

 

As a complete aside to talk about myself, my father is an artist who is very even-keeled, reasonable, and responsible. Maybe that's why he didn't become super famous. But anyway, not all artists are kooky. It's funny growing up with an artist for a father because you get peculiar reactions from people when you tell them. They think I look too normal. Or sometimes they worry that he's actually just a terrible artist and they'll have to pretend he's good to not offend me.

 

I don't think her coming out means it's true. It could mean that she believes 100% that it's true. She could believe it, but what actually took place wouldn't necessarily match with her story.

I have no idea if that's happening or not. But if she's a fragile child and her mother convinces her it happened, she certainly would believe it for her whole life, and may feel the convictions to come out with what believes.

 

Not saying that you have to suffer a lot personally to make great art but that does seem frequently like the case. For example look at Philip Seymour Hoffman. A great actor but obviously someone who was chasing some demons.

 

That is true and this could've been drilled so much into her that she believes it's true. She also could love her mother so much that she wants to do everything possible to support her.

My own view about this whole situation is neither Woody Allen or Mia Farrow looks good here.

 

does it?
this is a myth...

 

I love his movies. Actually, one of top few directors I watch anything they make. But, this is going to change that. I am sorry.

 

Calvin Murphy.

But, she is not suing Woody for money right now.

 

??? Why do you bring him up? He won his case, but I don't think we know he's actually innocent.

 

Woody definitely looks bad here, and Mia probably as well. I don't have enough information to form a firm belief as to what happened. I mostly just feel really horribly for everyone involved.

 

I am not a psychiatrist so it's hard to know how likely this might be. I understand that there was a lack of evidence against him but that there was probable cause to arrest him based on the retired prosecuting attorney.

 

If he won his case, that's it, he is innocent.

 

OK, so that seems to be tongue-in-cheek, based on the "I admit to it all"- actually, I read the entire article and it's not unlike anything he writes for films- where half of it is obviously sarcasm- what's your point?

 

I heard he likes to set girls' pants on fire so they can take them off and stop, drop and roll.

Ya'll are some assuming MF er's. You'd burn witches.

Hamill: Dylan Farrow's child molestation claims against Woody Allen were planted by Mia Farrow
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...-claims-woody-allen-planted-article-1.1601295

“You would think any mother would be relieved that a three-member panel, two of them women, found that her daughter had not been molested,” Allen said. “But so deep is her venom that she actually sees this as a loss. That is terribly sad. She knows I never molested Dylan."

 

I'm going to point out from your own article the author writes:
[rquoter]Again, I'm not an expert but I don't think Woody Allen is a child molester.
[/rquoter]

Further
[rquoter]The Connecticut prosecutor said he thought there was probable cause to believe Allen molested Dylan, but he declined to press charges.[/rquoter]

This shows that there was some evidence but that it wasn't strong enough that the prosecutor felt could be prosecuted.

As I said before if I had to vote to convict Allen based on the evidence we have I wouldn't but at the same time I am not going to completely dismiss everything that has come up and automatically accept Allen's defense. Also this article does sum up what I was saying about Allen's defenders and I question his objectivity when he admits to having a long standing professional relationship with Allen and good access that other journalist do not.

[rquoter]I interviewed Woody Allen several times before and since that story. The press-shy writer-actor-director talks to me for a couple of reasons. One, my brother Brian had worked as a still photographer on many of his classic movies including "Annie Hall," "Manhattan" and "Bullets Over Broadway." Another is that we had a working-class Brooklyn connection.
