Woody Allen Pedophile?

[user_32]

Just read this recent article about Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. There’s a part where their adopted daughter (I’m not talking about Soon-Yi, she was apparently of age when they got together), “Dylan” reveals a disturbing incident. If true, I can’t believe he got away with this.

Orth speaks to Farrow’s children, including Dylan, who now has another name and who discusses what she remembers about Allen and how his behavior has tormented her. She refuses ever to say his name. She calls her fears “crippling” and says, “I’m scared of him, his image.” Dylan tells Orth, “I have never been asked to testify. If I could talk to the seven-year-old Dylan, I would tell her to be brave, to testify.”

According to Dylan, “There’s a lot I don’t remember, but what happened in the attic I remember. I remember what I was wearing and what I wasn’t wearing.” She tells Orth, “The things making me uncomfortable were making me think I was a bad kid, because I didn’t want to do what my elder told me to do.” The attic, she says, pushed her over the edge. “I was cracking. I had to say something. I was seven. I was doing it because I was scared. I wanted it to stop.” For all she knew, she tells Orth, “this was how fathers treated their daughters. This was normal interaction, and I was not normal for feeling uncomfortable about it.” Woody Allen’s lawyer Elkan Abramowitz says that Allen still denies the allegations of sexual abuse.

There’s also this:

Farrow discusses her relationship with Frank Sinatra, telling Orth that Sinatra was the great love of her life, and says, “We never really split up.” When asked point-blank if her biological son with Woody Allen, Ronan Farrow, may actually be the son of Frank Sinatra, Farrow answers, “Possibly.” No DNA tests have been done. When Orth asks Nancy Sinatra Jr. about Ronan’s being treated as if he were a member of her family, Sinatra answers in an e-mail, “He is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives.”

He definitely looks a hell of a lot more like Frank Sinatra than Woody Allen that’s for sure.

The seed is strong. That kid is Frank’s.

ASo does this get swept under the rug? Do pretty famous people continue to rush to star in his films? Or does he just get away with it?

Depends. Are his films more or less loved than Polanski’s?

[dr_harford]

AI’ve never much cared for them, personally.

People have known most of this for 20 years. They don’t give a shit in Hollywood.

They don’t have cops or detectives in Hollywood?

[dr_harford]

@Jacob Singer

don’t have morality in Hollywood?

Fixed that for you.

They pretty much just hang out near grip trucks whenever there’s a location shoot that fucks up traffic.

@Dr Harford

that for you.

As opposed to the vast treasure troves of morality in Washington D.C., New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Las Vegas…

If you know someone raped a seven year old and bend over backwards to appear in his movies, then fuck you. That’s all I have to say.

Oh for fuck’s sake, Harford. Jesus fucking Christ. Are you mentally ill?

@Jacob Singer

for fuck’s sake, Harford. Jesus fucking Christ. Are you mentally ill?

Seriously? You’re defending Woody Allen?

[jacob_singer]

Yeah, Harford. I got up this morning, and decided the first thing I wanted to do was to defend some potential pedophile from a soap-box-standing shooter of barrel-fish.

You have no fucking idea if this accusation is true, but you’ve decided to treat it as fact, 'cause, you know, HOLLYWOOD. Woody is creepy! Must be a fact! Burn him!

If his adult daughter comes forward with this, yes, I am going to take her side until I hear some sort of explanation. A one line statement from Allen’s lawyer isn’t going to do it.

[bradito]

AHarford, your reasoning is… Bananas.

[jacob_singer]

I’m assuming you’ve never heard of this:

I’m not saying this is the case in this incident, because I don’t fucking know and I’m not going to “take a side” to make myself feel like a big man.

[dr_harford]

Thanks, Jacob, but I’m going to side with the girl till I hear more on this. It takes too much courage to speak up late in life for me to just throw up my hands and declare that I don’t know what to think.

[dr_harford]

Nothing personal though Jacob. You’re a good guy and make cogent points. +1
