There’s a difference Woody. There were people who wouldn’t work with Chaplin or Polanski either, not because of politics but because of disgust.

What proof do you have that Woody did anything wrong?

Sort of like a bank robber complaining about people who are being falsely accused of bank robbery.

Mia is a psycho liberal woman. Her accusations should be taken with a grain of salt.

He did not adopt her, Mia did and Woody and Mia were never married.

The girl was never Woody’s adopted daughter.

Those are the facts.

His kids saw their father marry their sister. That’s all kinds of messed up, regardless of what Allen’s parental status was to Soon-Yi.

True that. But out of the many thousands of available women out there, Allen picked the one woman who would cause Mia huge mental anguish.

Not illegal, of course. But to me, it’s a sign of moral depravity. Woody Allen is trash.

(Your mileage may vary.)

You just showed me you didn’t even know he never adopted her and you presented it as if it were a fact. You didn’t even bother to see if it were true in all these years since the whole thing happened like 30 years ago.

You based your opinion on reports you got second hand from the newspapers who had an ax to grind favoring Mia Farrow the spurned woman.

These are not honest opinions and you being really an outsider in this case, as they would call you, ‘a nobody’ have got this opinion of a person who for all you know is being smeared because of a spurned and angry woman.

That couple has now been married what 30 years? You still think it’s he’s morally depraved. I don’t beieve in holding false witness to something I have not real factual knowledge of. Says he fell in love with the girl and is still married to her.

I will not be a dupe of the press and especially not for Mia Farrow who is out there beating the drum constantly against Allen. Too much vile and supposition, he was aquitted in court and personally I think the story is more than likely not true.

Soon-yi herself said, “Woody Allen “was never any kind of father figure [to her]” and that she “never had any dealings with him” during her childhood”.

To me to base an opinion on someone from gossip is morally depraved, which is how I see your opinion.

As close as I want to get to it, nothing. But starting a sexual relationship with someone that was treated like a family member (including nude photos of her) is creepy beyond words and calls into question his suitability as a parent.

It doesn’t matter.

You haven’t made a good movie in quite a while.

Soon enough, it will matter even less.

I see you have decided to stray from civil conversation, and make it personal. That’s a pity, as I often learn something from FReepers who have an opinion different than mine.

But as it is, I would prefer if you not contact me in the future.

You’re the one who stated a lie as a fact.

“He married his adopted daughter”.

I called you out on it and you don’t like it.
