For all the talk of “these allegations have been known for 25 years”, it’s difficult to convey jut how unconvincincing the initial allegations came off to the public when they were first made in 1993. It all was essentially reported as loony Mia Farrow making stuff up as revenge for the Soon-Yi affair. It certainly…

A ‘hero’ lol. She’s a violent felon.

She wasn’t his stepdaughter, as Allen and Farrow never married and didn’t even live together. That doesn’t mean the relationship wasn’t extremely creepy, but it’s ridiculous to say that Rebecca Hall “should have” known he was a predator given that by the time she worked with Allen for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the…

Courage isn’t the point. Competence is. Manning has had a mediocre education and an infamously brief career followed by a stint in prison where she engaged in a get-out-of-jail strategy that revolved around presenting herself to the world as frail and whiny. No one trusts her, and many people despise her. Politics is…

Manning is a traitor that colluded with the same organization that helped Russia sabotage our election. ANY support for this asshole undermines holding Trump accountable for colluding with the same folks.

I honestly don’t see the value in tearing people down for working with Allen pre-2014 if they go on to see the error of their ways. His abuse of Dylan Farrow may have been a part of the public record if you had gone to look for it, but a lot of people had either forgotten about it or were too young (or not from the…

In a way it is complicated, because it raises the question of how far the “Anyone who has ever worked with, provided goods and services for, or partaken in the goods and services of an abuser is a rapist enabler” argument should be taken. Does it only apply to people in Hollywood, or is the non-famous average Joe who…

I have heard the “I can’t say anything because I’ll drown their voices.” excuse and I don’t buy it.

You’re dreaming if you think it’s only “establishment” types who don’t think Manning is fit for the Senate.

Why Maryland? Is she from here? This is odd. As a registered democrat in MD, I have no desire to vote for her instead of Ben Cardin. This strikes me as really strange and I don’t understand it all. I feel like she is trying to make a joke out our state’s election and doesn’t care about representing Maryland at all.…

No kidding and I don’t understand if she knows that whole period of her life is going to brought up in an election?

I would be really happy for a few dudes who have worked with Woody Allen or any of the reported abusers to weigh in and add their voices to the “Not working with this guy again” conversation. Their silence is deafening as only women appear to be called to account for it, are taking the professional hit and have to…

I think it might be easy for younger and/or newer actresses to chose to stick their head in the sand on this sort of thing. Maybe they’d heard something about it, but they willfully don’t look into it further. Sounds like maybe this was the case here. Not great, but also more understandable than someone like Kate…

I can’t get over how much she gave to WikiLeaks. It was reckless and stupid.

It’s a joke. This isn’t a blow for unrepresentef trans people, but the act of a self-indulgent, deluded person. No matter how anyone spins it, she violated an oath and obviously (admittedly) did not really consider the ramifications for frontline soldiers.

Can a convicted felon even ran for federal office?

Hope she lives a life that she can be proud of, but this is stupid. If anything else, the diplomatic cables she leaked were a clear case of Assange taking advantage of someone in a fragile state and getting her to dump everything she could possibly find.

Her record on the misuse of classified materials and who she can keep her mouth shut to should immediately preclude her from even being a candidate for further government service.

Ugh. There is so much wrong with Manning, none of it related to her identity as a trans woman.

I’m in Maryland. Just with the benefits of incumbency alone, she doesn’t have a chance. I’d compare it to former NAACP leader Ben Jealous’ gubernatorial bid. Yeah, people know who she is, and she’s a national figure, but she’s not known for any work in Maryland, she’s not associated with any organizations or…
