Shannon as a first name is an American invention (it’s the name of a river in Ireland) and Stacy isn’t an Irish name.

And even that makes Woody’s story suspect. His recent interview he claimed that *he* picked Soon-Yi out of the gutter and gave her a home and opportunities. That’s creepy as hell - he identifies as a father figure to an orphan whom he later molested and married.

“Ok. I do keep quiet on this every time it pops up on Jez, but... there is no proof he did anything.”

There is a great article from Matt Seitz about this topic:

Okay, it’s not a requirement to know how sexual predators work. But when you post some screed about how he’s innocent for reasons that do not reflect reality that’s a problem.

If you’ve been abused being exact is almost impossible because of the way that trauma impacts memory formation.

Several judges thought there was enough evidence to remove all custody and to publicly state that he was a danger to his children.

The point is that if we can’t stop people who lead very public lives and who have a paper trail, how in the hell are we going to stop anyone? The outcry over Bill Cosby and Woody Allen is about their individual crimes, but it’s also a social reckoning of the things we tolerate from those in positions of power. If we…

Well, since he adopted two more girls, we really don’t know.

If this is cathartic, then I do have some questions, because there is literally no one else willing to listen to me talk about it not on the internet at this point.

Actually, I’m even surprised there are more than one victim considering that he’s a filmmaker and photographer. He could get all the trophies he needs to relive molesting just one victim and have it last him a lifetime.

Don’t be obtuse just because Mia and Woody weren’t married doesn’t mean he was not the father figure of the household or is marriage the only way to legitimize?

Why do you think Dylan lied then and continues to lie? What benefit has that brought to her life?

Dating your former partner’s child is weird, even if you didn’t marry that partner. I do not understand people who choose to focus on that part of things at all.

Even on the basis of what he’s admitted, looked at in its best possible light, he began a relationship with his girlfriend’s young adult daughter who he’d known since she was a child while he was still dating his girlfriend. By regular people standards, that is more than enough to view someone as creepy and having…

Wait, what? People can only be molestors if they have a reputation for molestation??? He didn't hurt her because he doesn't have a pile of victims willing to call him out?

I do not think that word means what you think it means: “

Jesus, no. WTF. I’m saying that we’re all too steeped in a culture that tolerates a lot of fuckery where older men and younger women are concerned, and it needs to stop. I’m saying I feel sorry for Mia Farrow I’m not blaming her; she more than most had already been groomed to accept extremely questionable…

MiaFarrow wasn't the victim. Her 7 year old daughter was the victim, and the child was who was being called fragile.

Many,many years later, she wrote an essay. She is now an adult. They were talking about the fragility of the child.
