Yeah, never mind that Bing Crosby beat the shit out of his kids and was generally a miserable bastard. Given that this is a woman who has extolled the classiness of plantations, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that she’s nostalgic for the 1940's. What a freaking dingus.

Yeah she gets zero points for me for protesting a “rape joke” (if you even want to call it that, it seemed more like a statement to me) when she is actively collaborating with and praising a sex offender.

That may or may not be correct (I’ve had a couple of kinda jerky bosses but none of that caliber— that I know of anyway!) but Blake Lively and Steve Carrell are certainly not going to be begging on the streets if they decline to do a Woody Allen film.

Could not agree more. His movie (the one he makes every five years) fucking sucks. I am bewildered as to why people think he’s some genius of cinema. It most certainly is creepy wish fulfillment and I really fail to understand why anyone likes his work at all.

That’s what I never get about people who want to give woody a pass: you take the bare facts, eliminate whatever grey areas, he said/she said, any conjecture, and give him the benefit of every doubt and he is still a scumbag.

He’s a man. If a female director made a movie every year about a young, hot guy falling in love with an older neurotic woman, people would mock her.

It's sickening the shit that goes down in Hollywood. It truly is the industry of devils. Make some artsy movies, then you get a free pass. Pretty pathetic.

Oh yes, it’s absolutely possible/plausible. I mean, he and Soon-Yi - who he obviously groomed from a young age - adopted two daughters together. Dylan was not his biological child, either. I know it’s super fucked up to throw these accusations out there with no evidence, but I would not blink if his younger daughters…

I know it gets said with regularity any time Woody Allen is even mentioned around here, but I really don’t get why people think his films are so genius. It’s nearly always a story of a young, hot woman falling in love with an older neurotic guy. It’s beyond unrealistic. I always thought Twilight was creepy because…

There’s a distinction between child molesters and pedophiles, with a large amount of overlap between the two groups. Not all molesters are pedophiles, not all pedophiles molest. But once a pedophile starts molesting, yes the odds of it just being one child are slim. As someone else noted, some pedophiles are…

Not always, actually. One of my uncles molested his step-son as a child (my favorite uncle, of course, my creep radar is shit). Maybe he did something similar before, but he sure hasn’t since (30 years), his wife has monitored him like a hawk. His biological son has no idea that ever happened.

Of course, her image alteration enables his horrific behaviour.

You don’t think Woody can hide his shit at least as well as Bill Cosby hid his? Okay.

This. He is, at best, a predatory, narcissistic, callous creep of epic proportions; at worst he is a fucking child molester. Either way, not the kind of person I would knowingly work with under any circumstances.

Everyone involved in the cover up needs to be exposed. Exposing the industry’s complicitness in these men’s crimes/behavior is the only way the industry culture will change.

Not always, sometimes its specific to a particular child (some parents will abuse one of their children and not others). There is absolutely no doubt that he was intensely and inappropriately obsessed with Dylan regardless of whether the abuse happened, as he was in therapy for it, so it could have been specific to…

The thing that still astounds me about Woody Allen is that he and Soon-Yi adopted two little girls together. Someone let them adopt during a time period where gay couples were routinely denied. It shows money can get you all kinds of things.

You’d have thought PR recovery from the fact that he’s a thin-skinned narcissist who has made the same terrible film 45 times would have been hard enough without all the pervy sex stuff.

Dart is excellent at her job. It’s a shame one of her clients continues to behave in a way that requires such skillful image alteration.

I hope this is a case where the Streisand Effect comes into play and finally finally Woody Allen’s career ends.
