Dylan Farrow: Why does Woody Allen get a pass?
cnn.com ^ | 12/8/17 | Lisa Respers France

(CNN)Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, is asking why the director has not suffered the same fate as other powerful men in Hollywood accused of sexual misconduct. In an opinion piece published by the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, Farrow describes her anger over Allen maintaining his career, despite her allegation that he sexually assaulted her in their home when she was seven years old. Farrow first shared her account with Vanity Fair in 2013.

Allen has consistently denied the allegation and was not criminally charged.

I’m not a big fan of Woody Allen’s Behavior, but Mia Farrow seems pretty bad too. It kind of cast doubt on the whole accusation.

He gets a pass from the Hollywood cesspool. He’s a genius remember?

“There have been no other public allegations of sexual misconduct levied against Allen.”

What about the girl he married?

Hollywood and Broadway libtards are in a group cringe, fearing the coming whirlwind.

Because people accepted in the 70s that Woody Allen was a creepy weirdo. Even his fans know he’s weird, though most of them don’t believe Dylan. And as for non-fans, well our opinion really doesn’t matter on it since we already boycott his lame movies.

Actually, he probably is a genius.

If someone like Hillary, who is not that smart but politically connected, a psychopath and utterly ruthless gets a pass, shouldn't a genius, too?

I feel sorry for this person. He had two wackadoos as parents.

"I'm open-minded about sex. I'm not above reproach; if anything, I'm below reproach. I mean, if I was caught in a love nest with 15 12-year-old girls tomorrow, people would think, yeah, I always knew that about him." Allen pauses. "Nothing I could come up with would surprise anyone," he ventures helplessly. "I admit to it all." - Jim Jerome's profile of Woody Allen in the October 4, 1976 People Magazine

Mia Farrow was briefly my neighbor when she was married to Andre Previn and living in Pittsburgh. The fact that she would leave him for Woody tells you all you need to know.

And let’s not forget Roman Polanski, who was CONVICTED of drugging and forcibly raping a 13 year old girl, and was nevertheless awarded an Oscar in 2003 and given a standing ovation

Yes, Previn knew how to conduct himself.

I don’t know if she was with Previn when she started with Allen. However, she started with Previn and got pregnant by him, when he was ostensibly happily married.

Mia started that whole thing about how Woody was "doing things" to one of the littlest girls. It's BUNK! They were in the midst of their last breakup and she was angry; very, very, VERY angry and used the kids to attack him.

You're correct about her being a lousy mother!

She's the one who started the whole adopting kids from all over the world, to use as accessories, having a few of her own, and then mostly ignoring them!

Case in point....back in the '90s, Lark, Daisy, and Soon-Yi ( the latter of that group, Woody fell in love with and married and she was an ADULT, not a child, when they began their romance ) somehow managed to get to the Danbury Fair Mall and got caught shop-lifting underwear.

One of her adopted sons committed suicide.

IIRC, only Soon-Yi actually got married; her sister Lark just lived with some guy and had kids.

And none of her children ever seemed to be happy nor particularly well adjusted, or even really cared for!

There was NOT anything going on, between Woody and Soon-Yi, when she was a child!

The whole Dylan thing is nothing but a gigantic lie, by the vindictive b*tch, Mia, who brainwashed Ronan and Dylan and had them soot that crap.

His case was heavily investigated and the accusation was determined to be groundless.

To coin a phrase ;)

I get your point, but Previn was, at least to all outward appearances, normal. This has NEVER been said of Woody Allen.
