I hope he wins. amazon can't renege on a contract because they "changed their mind" based on the way the cultural wind is blowing.

The first question that needs to be asked is WTF Amazon? You entered into a contract with the unfunniest untalented actor known to man for what reason?

Why do you support a pedophile?

Baseless allegations that he married his daughter?

The accusation against him was investigated for years and did not hold up at all.

She wasn’t his daughter at all.

Unfunniest untalented, LOL.

I think I agree. I’ve seen a few of his movies, and they all seem to be similar plots. And Woody inserts himself as a character in his movies, a character who seems bizarre and neurotic, and just a weirdo.

Woody and Mia were never married. They never lived together. He played no part in raising Soon Yi.

So sexually assaulting 3 minors in his own family is no big deal to you? Figures. FR is going downhill fast.

What are you talking about? The accusation by the Farrow clan was bunk. It was investigated for years. Every single person who looked at it said it did not hold up. Soon Yi was an adult when they started dating.

I think Woody Allen is a dirtbag, but I agree with you - there’s nothing ‘known’ about Allen today that wasn’t known in 2017.

Woody should make a film that really digs deep into current social issues. About a dried up old Hollywood director who molests his adopted children. It should do well at the box office.

Soon Yi was not his adopted child. And she was an adult. It’s amazing how so many buy into the #MeToo bs.

A contract is a contract. So I suppose Allen should win this one.

But I won’t be rooting for him. He dumped his girlfriend, Mia Farrow. Nothing wrong with that, of course. But then he married Mia’s daughter.

Really, out of all the single women in the world, he decided to pursue his girlfriend’s daughter? And in doing so, he destroyed a family. That’s not illegal. But it is evil.

Interesting that in this long article, they couldn’t find space to mention that his other son, Moses, who was there throughout the alleged incident, wrote a lengthy article refuting the entire allegation and explaining how it was impossible for it to have happened, based on both the layout of the house and the time that Woody was out of his sight. He is convinced that Mia was so incensed at Woody for leaving her for Soon-Yi that she set up a trap to get him to the house, concocted the allegation, and drilled it into her kids’ heads until they believed it.

Ironically, in setting the trap, Mia had conditioned the kids to think Woody was a monster who had to be watched constantly, so Moses did watch him. He never let Woody out of his sight for more than a minute or so, like when he stepped into the next room to take a phone call. That’s how he knew it was not possible for this alleged molestation to have happened.

His description of Mia is of a nightmare abusive parent, which is borne out by how many of her adoptive kids went on to commit suicide. This is why child protective agencies in two states investigated the claim and declined to bring any charges: it looked to the experts like an attempt to implant false memories.

I would urge all the people who are so quick to believe that Woody Allen is a child molester to read what his son has to say:

Not even his step daughter. He never married Mia Farrow. She is the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Andre Previn.
