Stephen King slams Hachette Book Group for dropping Woody Allen memoir
New York Post ^ | March 7, 2020 | Eileen AJ Connelly

Posted on 03/09/2020 1:58:16 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Hachette Book Group scrapped “Apropos of Nothing,” which was scheduled to come out next month, after Allen’s estranged son, Ronan Farrow, blasted the publisher on Twitter and dozens of employees staged a walkout Thursday. He has been a vocal supporter of his sister, Dylan, who has accused Allen of molesting her as a child.

“The Hachette decision to drop the Woody Allen book makes me very uneasy. It’s not him; I don’t give a damn about Mr. Allen. It’s who gets muzzled next that worries me,” King tweeted Friday evening.

“Once you start, the next one is always easier,” he added moments later.

This jerk has no compunction about trashing President Trump, but when REAL trash shows up in the person of Woody Allen, he is CONCERNED.

BOO FREAKIN’ HOO.

Thank Heaven I only read Carrie and Salem’s Lot.
ALL THE REST ARE TRASHY GARBAGE.

Pathological self-centeredness? Comes as no surprise.

She was Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter? Woody and Mia were never married, so Woody had no legal family relationship to that girl.

Is he talking about Woody and little girls?

The other Mia Farrow adopted son has written previously that - as one who was at home on the day Allen was alleged to have molested his sister - that the molestation could not have occurred that day without him knowing about it, and he said it never happened.

He further claimed that it was Mia who was the tyrant in the home and used and abused her children, psychologically and with physical & emotional intimidation in a continuous campaign of defaming Woody Allen, so as to gain full sole custody of the adopted children. He claims Mia’s children were psychologically beaten down by their mother to say, and believe, regarding Woody, what she told them to say and believe.

There has never been a single other accusation of this sort against Allen. Just this one that came from a vindictive psycho (Mia Farrow).

Farrow’s family circumstance is harrowing. Three kids have died from either suicide or addiction related overdose.

Thanks for posting that. I’ve never heard that explanation.

Only that Woody boinked his adoptive daughter.

Dylan Farrow is not the one Woody had a relationship with and the young woman he did have a relationship was not his adopted daughter. And their relationship developed after she left her mother’s home.

Mia was and is a big time manipulator who waged psychological warfare on her children to defame Woody to them and get them to say what she wanted them to say and believe. One of her adopted sons has explained it all here:

She was not his adoptive daughter. Her adoptive father was Andre Previn.

One of the maids that worked for Farrow said she would threaten to send them back to Asia if they misbehaved. Woody Allen was a horndog and a scoundrel but I do not believe he molested Dylan. No one has ever come out and said that Allen molested them or one of their children. One does not suddenly become a pedophile in their late 50s.

“Only that Woody boinked his adoptive daughter.”

Yes, the media had no shortage of misplaced sympathy for Mia and most of the public only knows Mia’s versions of events.

I was glad when Moses Farrow finally got his own story out.

You are probably right. There is a reason they were “together,” because they were both a little off.
