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

Heh...I definitely stand corrected. Don’t forget “nasally voiced, whiny, neurotic,” too.

“...butt ugly, horny, middle-aged, nasally voiced, whiny, neurotic, famous pedophile”

16 is not a young girl. In some states it is age of consent/marriage age.

Historically she’d gave already been married.

And she targeted him onntop of it.

Now tell me gow outraged you’d be for all the female teachers screwing 16 year old boys, and how thats just as terrible to you as this is.

I’m going to need a bigger line on the screen.

Allen made movies about it.

Acclaimed movies.

I remember reviews of Manhattan extolling the irony that the Muriel Hemingway character was the mist mature character.

Men and women loved it.

Ben Stein wrote an article or two for The American Spectator back in the pre-internet age where he talked about how Hollywood friends of his were “dating” their daughters’ high school girl friends. It was probably part of his series “Ben Stein’s Diary”

It was right there in print for anyone to see, by a prominent author, in a not-insignificant magazine. He didn’t name names, or condemn it, he was simply describing what he saw going on around him. This was probably in the Clinton years. Not implicating Clinton, just giving it a time check.

This was published in a national opinion magazine 25 years ago and yet Hollywood and other Democrat Progressives tell us that they are shocked! shocked! to discover this kind of behavior occurring in their virtuous community of saints.

“Basically she was a groupie hoping he’d make her famous.”

Yep! Who took advantage of whom?

I think they both got what they wanted from that relationship. It’s a wash.

Mariel Hemmingway? Sun Yi? His movie “Manhattan” is cringeworthy.

He only lasted 2 yrs at West Point. That does not make him an “alumnus” in the standard usage, which requires a degree.

What is odd is why any woman, young or old, would want to be with Woody Allen.

He oozes creepy. Never could watch his movies. Don’t know what any female sees in him.

She's not complaining about him or the relationship.

She does want the publicity now, and the talk about Woody's threesomes with teenage girls won't help him anyway, but she says it's not about "bringing him down" or accusing him of abuse or maltreatment.

“Hollywood is a cesspool.”

It’s a septic tank draining into a cesspool.

I don’t “get” his movies at all. I figure it’s genetic, like you either like the 3 Stooges or you don’t.
