That sounds pretty frickin'creepy to me. I wouldn't want to have a beer with the guy.

But he's still innocent until he gets a fair trial, that's the way that it's supposed to work in the USA.

If life has taught me anything at all, it's not to judge other people's relationships. I don't concern myself too much with what consenting adults do. The only concern I have is for the allegations of abuse on Dylan who was a child at the time the alleged abused occurred. That's all.

Well, I am judging him to be a sicko based on his actions.

And I'm sure that is the way it would work, but I believe that he is a sick person, and I believe his daughter.

Be a hater then. :lol: It doesn't make a lick of difference to me.

I'm just saying that you're acting like your opinion here is more than it actually is. There is no hard evidence to suggest that Woody Allen is what you claim him to be.

Bull crap. I have repeatedly stated that these are my opinions.

That pretty much says it all for me.

Exactly. They are opinions, and wholly unverifiable one way or another as such.

Why argue about them? :lol:

Because I think he's a sicko. I think just the fact that he married Soon-Yi is quite telling.

As has been established, you are entitled to your opinion on the matter. It is just as valid as any other.

As for myself, however; I am going to reserve judgment until something more concrete comes along. ;)

And you have repeatedly stated that Soon-yi is his step-daughter and that Mia was his wife.

Both are untrue.

That is the relationship they had. Just because it wasn't a "legal" arrangement is your justification? Pathetic.
 
ChrisL said:
He's a sicko IMO. I've heard about his weird relationship with his daughter before.

Not defending Allen as I think he's a creepy man but she wasn't his adopted daughter.

Soon Yi Previn is Andre Previn's adopted daughter, hence the name.

Even thinking about doing it would be sick.

Actually doing it is really sick

It sure is. What did he say to her? "OOOoooo. Soon-Yi, I remember you when you were a sexy 10, and you're looking like a sexy 15-year-old now. Let's get married. He is at least a perverted SOB, and I can't see what any woman would see in that wimpy little femmeman anyway.
 
ChrisL said:
I have to wonder about HER too. To get with your mom's boyfriend? Pretty skanky IMO.

I wonder where she learned that kind of behaviour from? Maybe from having a mother who couldn't recall whether the father of her son was Woody Allen or Frank Sinatra.

I remember reading a lot about this way back when, and I'm now recalling how creeped out and appalled I was by Farrow's behaviour. Allen's behaviour I thought decidedly odd, but Farrow seemed quite deranged, psychotic even. She clearly encouraged more than one of her children to fabricate stories about Allen in order to wreak revenge on him for the relationship with Soon-Yi.

 
Did he do it? He is kinda creepy, so it's certainly in the realm of possibility. Not that that necessarily means anything, either.

But... the evidence is sketchy at best. Just her word isn't automatically enough.

1) Her mother has vitriolic hatred for him, and I have no doubt that rubs off.
2) It's actually pretty common for young kids to be coached by police and/or child advocates in these situations, so it's entirely possible that she is simply brainwashed.

Do *I* think he did it? Probably. Though my sense of "innocent until proven guilty" prevents me from calling for his incarceration (or worse).

Well, perhaps they're both a couple of sickos. I'm certainly not defending her either. The whole "family dynamic" is completely off in this situation, and that cannot be denied. Now, just because they don't have any legal paperwork, there was certainly a family dynamic at play in this type of situation.

I think you nailed this...at least in terms of what I think.

In most cases with a child sexual assault, all we have to go on IS the word of said child.

Which can't always be relied upon to be either entirely accurate nor necessarily true.

It is one of the most difficult crimes to prove.

That's true, and yet with very little evidence you seem to be having no trouble pronouncing a verdict.

Well, why does she have a hatred for him? Could it be because she found out that he sexually molested her child/children? I couldn't blame her for having some hatred in that case.

Of course not, but given the circumstances I believe the child over Woody Allen.
