Despite being the subject of criticism in the Me Too era, Woody Allen believes he should be the poster boy for the womens movement because no actresses have accused him of any wrongdoings.
In a new interview with Argentinian news outlet Periodismo Para Todos, the director says hes a big advocate of the Me Too movement, and goes on to explain, I should be the poster boy for the Me Too movement. Because I have worked in movies for 50 years. Ive worked with hundreds of actresses and not a single one big ones, famous ones, ones starting out have ever ever suggested any kind of impropriety at all. Ive always had a wonderful record with them. Allens daughter Dylan Farrow has publicly alleged for years that he sexually abused her as a child, which Allen has repeatedly denied. In the interview, Allen also says that any situation where anyone is accused of something unjustly, this is a sad thing.
He stressed that it bothers him to get compared to abusers like Harvey Weinstein.
People who have been accused by 20 women, 50 women, 100 women of abuse and abuse and abuse and I, who was only accused by one woman in a child custody case which was looked at and proven to be untrue, I get lumped in with these people, Allen said. The claims against the filmmaker were investigated in the early 90s and he was later cleared.

Woody Allen said the 80% of life is showing up. But he should of said that the other 20% was shutting up.
Poster Boy for #MyAdoptedDadToo...
These pretzels .... are making me thirsty.
there are a couple folks here that defend him for the Soon Yi nonsense.
What’s he talking about? He is the poster boy of the me too movement.
What an ego this sicko has.
More like Pedo movement.
No No No, all wrong, you need to say it like this:
"These pretzels, are making me thirsty"
These pretzels are making me TOO thirsty!
Woody Allen is elderly and probably thinks #METOO means “Pound Me Too”
These pretzels are, making ME thirsty!
They FOOLED me, Jerry!
You have to hit “Fooled” more!
Did you take the raisins?
It’s interesting that a few of his onscreen girlfriends happened to be also be sleeping with him, off camera.
Let’s put aside the allegations of child molestation for a minute.
There is no denying that he had nude pictures of his 20/21 year old step daughter in the early 1990s. He then developed a sexual relationship with her — his step daughter. He thinks there is nothing wrong with any of that.
That is not the resume of someone who should be a hero of the “Me Too” movement. The man is delusional.
“Woody Allen Thinks He Should Be the Poster Boy for the Me Too Movement”
Well, since BJ Clinton also just said pretty much the same thing, WAllen feels he deserves it just as much.
Sorry, Wood. BJ’s the much bigger d*ck.
Allen wasn't her stepfather. Andre Previn was her stepfather. Woody Allen was her mother's boyfriend. He was never married to Mia Farrow
This is not a justification of what he did. But getting the facts right is never a bad thing.
Sorry..Previn was her adopted father.
Heard on NBC: they had or were going to have Billy Clinton speak on behalf of the metoo movement.
Except for Mia Farrow! Jeez!

He has a point in regard to adult women. Woody’s problems were with underage girls.
