A woman who says she was just 16 when she became Woody Allen's mistress in the 1970s is speaking out. Babi Christina Engelhardt, who says she was a teen model when she met the famed director in 1976, opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about her alleged eight-year affair with the "Annie Hall" filmmaker.
Engelhardt, who now goes by Christina Engelhardt, told THR that she met Allen at the restaurant and celebrity hotspot Elaine's and gave him her phone number. She said soon, Allen, who was 41 at the time, called her and invited her to his Fifth Avenue penthouse apartment. Engelhardt said Allen never asked her how old she was, but she told him she was still in high school. Engelhardt told THR that she and Allen became physically intimate at his apartment within weeks, months before she turned 17, which is the legal age of consent in New York

A Men to that!
Pedophiles are people who have sex and sexual fantasies with pre-pubescent teens.
boinking a 16 year old, especially in the seventies and before was no big deal.
Last time I checked grown men boinking teenage girls were committing statutory rape.
I’m glad Mariel said no.
I’ve been that girl. At an adult party, and had to leave, and my hosts would say “ wait, wait, ask her WHY she has to leave” and they DELIGHTED that it was because my mom said I had to come home. Sad face.
I’m a girl, S.A.M. I was abused as a young teen too. Yes, I do feel it’s wrong for adult females to have sex with underaged teens.
Yes, I understand life used to be shorter and marriageable age has gone as young as 9 in history, and 15 just three generations ago. My grandmother married at 16. Nevertheless, our line in the sand is 18 and I’m ok with that. The more years for the teens to understand how psychologically unfair the age difference is.
Note that your historical argument doesn’t go both ways. It wasn’t ok in 1875 for Mrs. Jones to dally with young teen Thomas Smith. In some places she’d be in prison or even lose her life. She’d lose her husband and standing in society and would only have a life among an underclass.
Your argument only makes sense in a fully patriarchal society with women having little to no rights. It is not ok for adults to have sex with underaged teens. No matter how fun it looks to either side. No harm comes from waiting until the teen is old enough for some general knowledge of sexual mores and emotional entanglements, as well as understanding the bonds of marriage and what it means when a married adult wants to screw you in high (or middle) school. It doesn’t mean what the kid thinks it means.
We are living in a completely pro-gynocentric society.
There is only some truth to what you say but you and I might never agree on this. You are angry at all of womanhood and I’ve done my best to defend us to no avail.
You keep mistaking anger for just telling the truth.
He is so incredibly gross, it’s nearly impossible to imagine anyone having an affair with him. Does no one have ANY standards at all?
You keep mistaking anger for just telling the truth.
Not all women are like the birch who did you wrong.
You can think that but you are incorrect.
#2 Did Woody visit Epstein Island ?
He visited Woody Island.
Right now the pc culture is pro-female. Agreed. Like they are pro-Muslim, pro-gay, pro-trans, and pro-illegals.
But I disagree with you that all women like that or take advantage of it. As the mother of 3 sons. I hate it.
