Woody Allen Child Molester?

[JoeB131]

"More than 20 years ago, Farrow learned that Woody Allen, her partner who hinted at trouble by casting Mia in humiliating movie roles (a cuckolded narcissist in “Hannah and Her Sisters’’?) — a guy she never lived with, and only rarely loved — was conducting a torrid affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn."

Just reading this makes my skin crawl.....

As it should. THere was a lot of dysfunction in that "family".

I'm still not buying the molestation accusations, though.

 

[Dr Grump]

to be fair… she wasn't his step daughter. he wasn't married to mia farrow and never lived with her. they actually had apartments on opposite sides of central park.

so while it was sleazy, it wasn't illegal and i think farrow more than extracted her pound of flesh at the time. she tortured him.

as for these current allegations, the police rejected them then…

As did the psychiatrists. A couple of things mentioned in the link:

1) So the notoriously claustrophobic Allen decided - on a visit to Frog Hallow, when Mia was super pissed at him over Soon Yi, and there were Nannies in the house and other kids - decided to take Dylan up to the attic for five minutes and touch her inappropriately? Really? Even the nannies say they cant' remember it happening.
2) And yeah, a 55 year old Allen sleeping with a 19/21 year old (they are not sure what year she was born) is kinda creepy. Of course a 50 year old Sinatra marrying and sleeping with a 21 year old Mia is not...because the age difference is only 29 years instead of 34/36 years...

The nannies were paid employees of Allen; even the author of the cited article admits to this. The fact Sinatra was a creep has no bearing on this. Mia was the one exploited. There is no logical connection to make to Allen.

He paid the bills but doesn't mean they were on his side. Or anybody's for that matter.

Mia exploited? Is that why she says that she was still bonking Ole Blue Eyes when he was 71 and she was 42?

And you can say all you like about 'rich people allowed to adopt' to which I call BS. Conventional adoptions in the US - even for the rich - are a hard sell. Soon Yi and Allen would have been vetted - and I'd suggest doubly so due to the notoriety of their relationship and the accusations by Dylan - and yet still adopted two girls.

 

[JoeB131]

If he molested my kids and married one of our adopted kids, I'd want to ruin him too.

It's funny to see who will defend child molesters.

Soon Yi wasn't his adopted daughter, but its still damned creepy to know that he married her. Makes you shiver.

Soon Yi was a step daughter. Father was Andre Previn. Step daughter/adopted daughter .....yikes.

It's altogether too creepy.

No, she wasn't his "Stepdaughter".

She was her mother's boyfriend.

Yes, it's creepy, but if you are going to hang a man, hang him for what he actually did.

Mia Farrow was someone who dated older men and men who could advance her career...

and she was really surprised that her adopted daughter followed her lead?

 

[Esmeralda]

What's killing me is the few that are thinking Mia Farrow is the "snake" in all of this.

Hell's bells if I found my daughter's naked photos that my live in boyfriend took and kept of Soon Yi; found out that Woody wanted to marry our step daughter that we raised together; and then had my other daughter Dylan tell me what "daddy" did.....I'd be having a Lorena Bobbit moment.

I'd hit that cutlery drawer so fast Woody wouldn't stand a chance.

Except Woody had nothing to do with the raising of Soon-Yi. She wasn't his stepdaughter. He really spent no time with her until she was an adult.

That is patently untrue.

You don't read very well. Selective reading maybe. Mia was joking about having a relationship with Sinatra when she was 42.

If you were a nanny working for Allen, would you testify against him? These nannies are usually ladies from 3rd world countries and their work visa depends on their job. In fact, it's possible he gave them extra to testify in favor of him.

The adoptions I am referring to are foreign adoptions, and the rich usually have no problem adopting, getting any child they want as fast as they want. I've looked into adoption at one time myself. No one as old as Allen would normally be allowed an adoption, except he is filthy rich, famous, and, in a sense, therefore powerful. In the US, wealthy people like him don't go though agencies like the rest of us. They do private adoptions. They get a lawyer who does them and he finds a woman who is interested in a private adoption and will give up her baby to someone like Allen and Soon Yi because the kid will be raised in wealth with every advantage. The birth mother will get a nice bit of cash too, one way or another.

The Statute of Limitations has long passed. But the truth will live forever.

I think there is a special dispensation of SoL when it comes to child abuse, Mr H.

Were that not the case the charges against all those priests would never have been pursued.

[My search for Woody Allen came up negative, so I hope I'm not double posting[

I don't like the guy one bit, neither as an entertainer or individual. But, this article says a lot of things that question the latest accusations @ The Woody Allen Allegations: Not So Fast - The Daily Beast

Just because dating his stepdaughter when he was married broke his wife's heart and led to divorce in the last century absolves Woody Allen from indiscriminate sex with a minor child according to the Daily Beast?

The world deserves a break from reading about Woody Allen's latest attention-grabber taboo. imloho

Lets see if there is anywhere near the level of disgust.

What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me. He talked to me while he did it, whispering that I was a good girl, that this was our secret, promising that we’d go to Paris and I’d be a star in his movies. I remember staring at that toy train, focusing on it as it traveled in its circle around the attic. To this day, I find it difficult to look at toy trains.

For as long as I could remember, my father had been doing things to me that I didn’t like. I didn’t like how often he would take me away from my mom, siblings and friends to be alone with him. I didn’t like it when he would stick his thumb in my mouth. I didn’t like it when I had to get in bed with him under the sheets when he was in his underwear. I didn’t like it when he would place his head in my naked lap and breathe in and breathe out. I would hide under beds or lock myself in the bathroom to avoid these encounters, but he always found me. These things happened so often, so routinely, so skillfully hidden from a mother that would have protected me had she known, that I thought it was normal. I thought this was how fathers doted on their daughters. But what he did to me in the attic felt different. I couldn’t keep the secret anymore.

When I asked my mother if her dad did to her what Woody Allen did to me, I honestly did not know the answer. I also didn’t know the firestorm it would trigger. I didn’t know that my father would use his sexual relationship with my sister to cover up the abuse he inflicted on me. I didn’t know that he would accuse my mother of planting the abuse in my head and call her a liar for defending me. I didn’t know that I would be made to recount my story over and over again, to doctor after doctor, pushed to see if I’d admit I was lying as part of a legal battle I couldn’t possibly understand. At one point, my mother sat me down and told me that I wouldn’t be in trouble if I was lying – that I could take it all back. I couldn’t. It was all true. But sexual abuse claims against the powerful stall more easily. There were experts willing to attack my credibility. There were doctors willing to gaslight an abused child.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I have no idea if Woody Allen is a molester or not.

All I know is that Mia Farrow is one snake of an ex wife.

I wonder how one would "know" that unless one lives with her/them.

My point is, none of us can know what really went on.

 

[koshergrl]

A man who marries his daughter is a pervert and a pig. There's no question about it.

I'm still not buying the molestation accusations, though.

When I make these decisions I like to weigh as much fact as possible and hear from the person who was part of the investigation/prosecution, "Allen was investigated on child molestation claims for the 1992 accusation in Connecticut but prosecutors elected not to charge him.

The handling of the investigation was criticized after Litchfield County state attorney Frank S. Maco said in a press conference that he believed there was "probable cause'' to charge Allen but decided against prosecution partly to avoid a traumatic trial for the young girl".

The Australian

The above is what I weigh as well. There are many reasons for not prosecuting I look at the totality of the circumstances and events regarding a person.

Then the final question: Would I let this man be a role model for my child or any children? The answer is no.

That last is the thing. Nobody knows what happened back then but her bringing it up again lets us know we have to be more careful who we leave our kids with.

The fact that he was also with his 20 year old "daughter-like" woman is strange as well. They're still together and have other adopted kids. There is something wrong with him.

I also hope Dylan finds peace and that she is extreme in her protection of her own kids.

but there is only one reason to start this noise again after the statute of limitations ran... and one week after he got an award for lifetime achievement.

having probable cause is different from thinking you can prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.

and, to me, this, from your link, is more important:

A disciplinary panel found that Maco may have prejudiced an ongoing custody battle between Allen and Mia Farrow by making an accusation without formal charges.

Months before Mr Maco's press conference, a team of child abuse specialists from Yale-New Haven Hospital were brought in to the case and concluded that the child had not been molested.

and no one cared about trauma to these kids when mia farrow changed her kids names

Yep. Gaslighting...

..."What you see right in front of your face, isn't really true. It's not really happening the way you think. It never happened at all...and everyone agrees...and if you disagree, you are an outcase...bad..." [see my signature]...

There is nothing more psychologically abusive than being told your real experiences don't exist; and getting some gaslighter to get an entire cabal together to agree to remake the reality that actually is, because of their own discomfort with confronting it head on.

Will there be a Woody Allen postage stamp next?

 

[tinydancer]

As long as they are happy why does it matter? Why should they have to sacrifice their future and their happiness to satiate the norm or status quo that society has put on them. Were they related? No. Were they consenting adults? Yes. Was Farrow betrayed? Yes, but I'm sure she has instigated betrayals in her own life as have we all. At the end of the day it was a judgement call. Dylan Farrow was a basketcase long before Allen took up Soon Yi. As were quite a few of the other children. Interestingly, the most normal down to earth - and uber intelligent - sibling is the one - and only one - that is Allen and Farrow's natural son, Ronan. But even now, Farrow is saying Allen might not be his father and that Frank Sinatra might be (to be fair he does look a bit like Sinatra). However, just to show how (mal?)adjusted Ronan is, he did recently famously tweet "Happy father's day -- or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law's day."

Because he FUCKED his other 7 year old daughter, that's why!!!

OMG NO he did NOT! There was no anal or vaginal trauma.

Link to proof of statement please.

 

[Truthseeker420]

Fron the linked article in the OP:

#1: Soon-Yi was Woody’s daughter. False.

#2:* Soon-Yi was Woody’s step-daughter. False.

#3:* Soon-Yi was Woody and Mia’s adopted daughter. False. Soon-Yi was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and André Previn. Her full name was Soon-Yi Farrow Previn.

#4:* Woody and Mia were married. False.

#5:* Woody and Mia lived together. False. Woody lived in his apartment on Fifth Ave. Mia and her kids lived on Central Park West. In fact, Woody never once stayed over night at Mia’s apartment in 12 years.

#6:* Woody and Mia had a common-law marriage. False. New York State does not recognize common law marriage. Even in states that do, a couple has to cohabitate for a certain number of years.

#7:* Soon-Yi viewed Woody as a father figure. False. Soon-Yi saw Woody as her mother’s boyfriend. Her father figure was her adoptive father, André Previn.

#8: Soon-Yi was underage when she and Woody started having relations. False. She was either 19 or 21. (Her year of birth in Korea was undocumented, but believed to be either 1970 or ’72.)

#9:* Soon-Yi was borderline retarded. Ha! She’s smart as a whip, has a degree from Columbia University and speaks more languages than you.

#10:* Woody was grooming Soon-Yi from an early age to be his child bride. Oh, come on! According to court documents and Mia’s own memoir, until 1990 (when Soon-Yi was 18 or 20), Woody “had little to do with any of the Previn children, (but) had the least to do with Soon-Yi” so Mia encouraged him to spend more time with her. Woody started taking her to basketball games, and the rest is tabloid history. So he hardly “had his eye on her” from the time she was a child.

Would you feel comfortable leaving your little girl with him? You seem to be defending him vehemently for some strange reason.

Hell no ! There is something creepy about a man who has sex and marries a young lady who he previously had an authoritarian relationship when she was a child,whatever that relationship,especially as a father figure.

For a custody battle different standards. Further, you will need to provide those reports in order to rely upon them.

 

[Michelle420]

I don't know whether he molested the 7 yr old or not, but I know he married the little girl that was considered a sibling to his child and Mia Farows children. When you are viewed as a father figure by kids and then you marry one of them, it gives mixed messages to the other kids.

It is possible that Dylan got confused because of what Woody did with Soon Yi. But I don't blame Mia for that, I blame Woody for making choices that effect the entire family unit and not facing how his behavior and actions impact everyone else involved,

It's well known that he went to psychotherapy for 30 years prior to his relationship with Soon Yi. I would say he's got some issues and has now created issues for the kids that grew up around him. I have no idea whether he molested the kid or not but he did create some anger and hurt from those kids.

But again, please don't let things called "Facts" get in your way.

Really. Nothing to do with Soon Yi as a child?
