Woody Allen - Pedophile?

Woody Allen

Didn't he attempt to marry her? His adopted daughter. Besides molest her.

I have never cared for the guy nor many of his movies.

He and his nonsensical movie are the worst. I vote *pedophile.
 
I don't care if she was 32. She was obviously a victim of grooming by a person that she considered her "father." That is sick, sick, sick. There are NO excuses and it's gross.

I find it kind of hard to believe that he could have controlled himself for the full decade they were together if he was a legitimate pedophile.

Why would the relationship just pop up out of nowhere when she turned 20?

You are WRONG. There are pedophiles who have long-term relationships with one victim.

Playing devil's advocate here; if someone had an inappropriate attraction to another person as a child, but waited until they were an adult to consummate it, and never went after anyone else in that same fashion, why would that even be particularly wrong?

But, if ChrisL is correct, then Mia Farrow must be one hell of a terrible mom, letting all that grooming go on right under her nose :mrgreen:

Pretty major parenting failure to say the least. :lol:
 
I really thought this was old news.

I do find it odd that people belive that if he is a pedophile then that would somehow make him a worse film maker/actor. Certainly his films portray a great deal of depth and empathy (I´m thinking the more serious ones like like ´husbands and wives´ ´interiors´ etc) but intelligent and kind people can also be capable of incredible cruelty, and I think this freaks people out a little.

I'll say!! Here's a pic of Mia with one of her other kids

1) You just reiterated my point! This relationship did NOT just pop up out of nowhere. Something was definitely going on beforehand, so thanks for helping me out in my argument! :)

2) Yes, it's totally disgusting to lust after a child. You don't understand that? I would think that's a given.

3) I have no idea what kind of parent the mother was. I am not familiar with her at all, and there are PLENTY of parents out there who are less than attentive.

Has the step daughter he married ever claimed that?

Again, Chris, if you don't act on that attraction until the person in question is fully grown, marry them, and then never display such attraction to anyone else afterwards, "disgusting" is as "disgusting" does.

It's kind of hard to argue that anyone would have actually been objectively harmed by such a turn of events. :shrug:

You are entitled to your opinion and to think this behavior is acceptable of course. IMO, it's sick and so is he. Nothing you say will change my mind about this.
 
My understanding is that it was Farrow who adopted the children and not Allen. IMO, that says something about his lack of emotional attachment and involvement with the children. I have also seen him say in interviews that pre-date the whole controversy saying that he's not particularly fond of children.

They don't get his jokes

That's pretty much the way I see it, too. Allen doesn't actually like kids all that much. He only tolerated Farrow's, because he was in a relationship with her. I don't even know how she convinced him to have one of their own. That and they didn't even live together the whole time they were involved. Each had their own apartment on opposite sides of Central Park if I recall correctly.
I'd be very surprised if this turns out to be true. To anyone who knows even a little bit about Allen, this just doesn't fit at all. But hey, who knows. Stranger things have happened. I just find it a little odd, the man being almost 80 years old, that no other allegations of pedophilia ever surfaced before.

A man who married his step daughter, and this doesn't fit? :lamo Oh the irony.

They're still together, they seem to be fairly happy with one another, and she's never claimed that the relationship was inappropriate before her twenties.

That's all I'm saying. :shrug:

Why be so quick to judge?

Having read the young womans letter, she grew up with severe mental problems as a result of her time with Allen. She has eating disorders and went through a period where she cut herself. She has esteem issues. My guess is that she's finally reached a time in her life where she can publicly face her issues. Read her letter to the NYT and then form your opinion.

Disgusting!!!
 
Put it this way:

When you've taken a position that's even more morally and sexually rigid than GaThomas, you might want to reconsider it.

Not sleeping with your children is a sexually rigid position?

So, what are your thoughts on Woody Allen?

Is he a pedophile?

Creepy bastard?

Harmless Peepaw?

Legendary director and actor?

Should legal action be taken immediately?

There is really not much that is healthy about Hollywood. The people there create fantasies and live fantasy lives which have little or nothing to do with the lives the rest of us know. Several years back, I did some reading and it seems that the 'casting couch' does not exclude children. IMO the prison cell should be there for their parents who push them down onto it, but isn't. If he abused this girl when she was 7, the statute of limitations has likely run and it's jut another nasty reality escaping the bounds of fantasy land..
 
Sure, let's ignore the fact that he married his step-daughter, let's ignore the allegations of his ex-wife, let's ignore the allegations of the little girl who is now older and says that he molested her, and let's ignore his own biological son who states that the guy has issues and is a weirdo. Nah, can't be. He's a rich producer/director/actor. No WAY could this be. :roll:

Agreed, Hollywood is chock full of nuts.
