And woody has been able to benefit from the fact that many people don’t do that tiny bit of research and want to believe him bc he’s woody Allen. Then there are those of us who read the supporting documents bc we see no reason to take his word for it. He’s been creepy forever.

I will say this on every article since Jez staff does not include it in their article: the prosecutor investigated Dylan’s claims at the time and determined there was probable cause to prosecute. The only reason Allen was not prosecuted is because the decision was made by the prosecutor and Dylan’s mother that…
I am just like you. Go right to the source. Luckily, you’ve got the actual court document from GrapefruitSmile and you can read it. I know Woody was very unhappy that was put online because he could no longer lie about what happened- too bad! Also very important to read what the judge said about the ‘investigator’s…
There’s always a group who love to correct and argue the minor details —“actually she wasn’t his adopted daughter” or “actually Mia and Woody had separate residences” for Soon Yi and “actually charges were never pressed” etc. for Dylan. Dude, how does that change the crux of either issue? Willfully misunderstanding…
She most definitely has thick skin, but it’s still brave, she’s only human, and trolls can be cruel.
She is brave for doing this because she will be attacked mercilessly online.
I honestly think Ronan Farrow was driven in part by the belief that these dominos would finally topple Allen, and I think they’ve been frustrated these last months that it hasn’t. And so here’s Dylan, stepping into that spotlight, to deliver the final blow.
People can argue like defense counsel all they want but there’s one fact that’s unimpeachable. That even if this somehow didn’t actually happen with Dylan (it did, obvi, there were eye witnesses, the case documents are damning), there’s still no erasing Soon Yi Previn. That alone is enough to establish Woody’s…

I have done a considerable amount of research on Pick Up Artists and the techniques they use. Everything about this story ticked the boxes of a Pick Up Artist “Escalation”.
This is how you make young white women look like infants. She was 23 years old. She had graduated from college, could legally vote, legally get married, join the military, drink alcohol, marry someone 50 years older than her. She is an adult. This reminds of me when media refers to Don Jr., Kushner and Ivanka as…
I agree. I don’t feel like he sexually assaulted her and don’t feel like this should be included in the same realm as “me too.” I think he was very wrong and acted like an asshole, but she was always free to go. He didn’t force anything on her. This reminds me of the type of stuff they tell you in high school (“If a…
I think that reinforces the point though — the conversation here should be a lot more nuanced and handled more deftly. I’m in my 30s now and I know how to say no, but pretty much throughout my 20s as I explored my sexuality I consistently ran into situations that I didn’t know how to handle. There’s a lot of pressure…
I don’t want to get into the business of questioning accusers’ stories (as has been happening since time immemorial).
“Sue Booth-Forbes, who served as Dushku’s legal guardian on set, agreed with Colonna’s account of the sexualized atmosphere, and that Colonna and Booth-Forbes both spoke to Sanchini about it.”
Accusations reported at the time by Eliza’s on-set independent guardian, who stated TPTB did nothing after there were reported, and that adults on the set knew what was hapening but ignored it. I really hope Jamie Lee wasn’t one of those adults. Eliza has stated she was too afraid to tell her parents the entire truth…
Any environment that employs children should hold the adults to the same mandated reporting laws as therapists, teachers and medical professionals.
For real, where’s the Aziz story?
