She is so fucking brave. I applaud women every time they talk about their experiences unapologetically but it hurts my heart that she is so young.

Keys is very beautiful. I agree with remarks above that there’s a little “no makeup make-up” happening here, but in context of the sea of false lashes swimming in eyeliner that is the VMAs, and that’s just the men, it’s practically the same thing as being bare-faced. And true, not getting dolled up is way easier when…

Here’s a dramatic re-creation of Kanye’s speechwriting process:

Right — honestly, in all of this, it seems to have been what she wanted. Now, not saying Woody should have done it — he was wrong, and it was an awful, destructive and hurtful thing he did to that family. But, as I’ve said elsewhere on this string, Woody and Soon Yi’s marriage has lasted almost 20 years and they are…

As the mother of adopted children, I also hate it when people paint it as “Well she was a poor orphan so of course she’d fall prey to any rich guy!”. She was legally the child of two pretty wealthy people, Mia Farrow and Andre Previn. She was not hurting for money.

I had several stepfathers growing up (my mom had a bit of a Liz Taylor situation going on), and though most of them lived in the same house as I did - something Allen never did - I can honestly say only 1 of them was any sort of a father figure to me at all. He was the only one to ever go to a school PTA meeting or…

You are using facts and facts have no place in this discussion, obviously!

Yeah. Icky. Just not incest.

Mia also decided to paint Soon-Yi as mentally disabled, which seems pretty gross? I mean, she went to grad school and is a teacher. By all accounts other than Mia’s and Ronan’s, she is an intelligent person.

Another thing, too — and this may be an unpopular thought, but here goes. This is regarding the Soon-Yi situation only, not the case with Dylan, which is an entirely different (horrific) situation.

I lol’d at hemorrhoids and then got sad. Too real. Too true. Too soon.

Do they compare high-tech doll non-efficacy to bag-of-flour efficacy? I’m wondering if having something that actually makes cute noises might backfire... shit, I just argued for withholding kittens from teenagers. Ignore everything I just said.

He wasn’t involved in raising her. They lived separately and they never spent time together. At the time, he was writing and directing 1.5 movies a year and writing essays and playing jazz. He didn’t live with Mia. Probably because he didn’t want to live in an apartment with 8 kids.

According to all parties, he was not a father figure or intimately involved in any way with Mia’s children from her previous marriage. He’s a pretty cold guy — I just don’t think he formed attachments with any of them other than, ultimately, Soon Yi.

He really wasn’t involved in raising her, from all reports. She is Andre Previn’s adopted daughter, and Woody and Mia never even lived together. It’s creepy, but it’s not incest.

Joesph Finn is not a troll.

No. She wasn’t. She was Andre Previn’s adopted daughter. She wasn’t even Woody’s stepdaughter, as he never married nor lived with Mia.

Not his daughter. They didn’t live together, didn’t spend time to together.

Also not his stepdaughter.

Not his adopted daughter.
