Harvey Weinstein: Woody Allen 'sad' for producer over sexual assault allegations
BBC News ^ | October 15, 2017

Posted on 10/15/2017 6:10:07 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Woody Allen has said he is "sad" for Harvey Weinstein as the producer faces numerous allegations of sexual assault.

The filmmaker said he had heard rumours but not "these horror stories" after a number of women came forward to accuse Weinstein of assault.

Weinstein has been credited with reviving Allen's career after Allen was accused of abusing Dylan Farrow, his daughter with actress Mia Farrow.

The allegation emerged in the early 1990s following Allen's separation from Farrow.

The actress left Allen after discovering he was having an affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn.

"No one ever came to me or told me horror stories with any real seriousness," Allen told the BBC. "And they wouldn't, because you are not interested in it. You are interested in making your movie.

"But you do hear a million fanciful rumours all the time. And some turn out to be true and some - many - are just stories about this actress, or that actor."

You would think he would be smart enough to keep his mouth shut on this subject. I guess not.

Not to mention the irony it was his own kid who outed Harvey in the NYT piece.

Mr. Allen was taken to court my Mia Farrow who accused Mr. Allen of improper activity with their adopted daughter.

In the end it was proven Mia Farrow was lying and that there had never been any improper sexual activity.

Once the child was of consenting legal Mr. Allen eventually began a relationship with the woman and they are together still.

It’s Mia Farrow who’s the evil person in this situation.

Woody Allen did nothing illegal - Mia Farrow did.

What is it with these liberal jewish elitist males and their pervy sexcapades? Is this like Divine punishment for their unholy rejection of the teachings of the Torah?

It was very, very sad and tragic that the women had to go through what they did — he did say that in equal measure. I agree that it is a no win situation for all involved, and at least Allen didn’t deny knowing anything beforehand, that seems about the least of it.

If the Republicans had any sense of testicular fortitude, they'd call a press conference and say:

"Democrats are clearly pro-misogyny. Silence equals consent. They said nothing while one of their fundraisers roamed as a sexual predator in Hollywood.

"It is sad that the loudest Democrat since this story broke has been Hillary Clinton, as she acknowledged that the Oval Office has seen a sexual predator - her husband.

The Republican leadership asks the Democrats to reject their harboring of anti-woman fundraisers, and join us as we announce the start of hearings on this poisonous atmosphere in Hollywood, with an eye toward regulating studios and actors and actresses as a public good."

Regardless of any legal issues, Mr. Allen most certainly did something very immoral.

If you enter a relationship with a woman who is a mother, then her children should be forever eliminated from the global pool of your possible future sex partners - either based on the sanctity of motherhood and/or to whatever degree you become a father figure to her children - a role you should never use, to any degree, as a springboard to some future romantic relationship.

Please tell me you are smarter than that, or maybe you are “Woody” himself trying to get us to believe your fake story

Woody Allen was known to take a few liberties with young starlets too.
