Woody Allen's daughter details how she was sexually abused by him in the NYT

[ShoreGrl]

Of course it wasn't okay. But if they became involved when they claim they did he would not be a pedophile. And if he was, as Coco Belle said, it is extremely likely there would be more victims.

Let's say that his story is the truth. Do people really believe that he didn't have sexual feelings for her until the day she turned 18? That when she was 17 years and 364 days old he felt nothing? Of course not. He lusted after his underage step daughter. Whether or not he acted on those feelings until she turned 18 does not change my opinion. He is a sick man.

He was her father figure. Regardless of age, becoming involved with your "daughter" makes you a pedophile and incestuous IMO.

He may not have been Soon Yi's legal adopted father but her was a father figure to her nonetheless....that in itself is disturbing ....

the reality is is that he married his freaking adopted daughter.p.

i bet none of those supporters would let their 7 year old daughter sit next to him at dinner.

I'm not a supporter per sē, it's just when people say things like she was his adopted daughter, I think it should be corrected. But I don't think it evens matters because people believe what they want to believe, don't let the facts get in the way.

(That probably goes for me too.)

What a contradictory statement, if the facts are there, how would it get in the way of anything?

So because Soon-Yi is Mia Farrow daughter, the so-called correction lessens the gravity of the situation? So if your 18 years old daughter starts dating your then partner just as soon as you broke up, you find naked pics of her in a drawer, you will be okay with it, no questions asked? Since you look at the other side of things, look at that side as well and tell us.

I asked same question. I'm really curious.

Great post, ITA!!!

Also, if Woody thought there was no issue w/ him dating Soon-Yi he sure kept it a secret, it only came out when Mia found the extremely graphic Polaroid pics of her naked daughter in his possession (who knows how old she was in the pics)
What would anyone do in that situation??

For me, it all comes back to that he married someone he has known since she was 8 and carried on inappropriate relations with her while she was underage.

I'd really like to know what her life is like. Estranged from her family and probably associates with people she met solely through him.

I'll respond to you because your question was far less combative, which I appreciate…

I never said I would be okay with it. Of all the girls he could date, once he broke up with Mia, he had to pick this one? Bloody hell. I would be a wreck. I'd be beyond heartbroken and beyond angry.

The only good bit to come of this disgusting thing is that it appears to be genuine and he married her and they've been in a committed relationship for over 20 years. He didn't molest her and run…the only good news is that he didn't do that.

Would I be angry enough to try and brainwash my children? Oh dear Lord, I hope not. That's what Moses Farrow said. So did Ronan as a young child. Would I repeatedly try and coerce my nannies to make up stories about Allen being alone with Dylan? Would I approach Woody's old GF (Stacey someone) to lie about molestation charges?

All I can say is, I would hope I would not be so enraged and vindictive that I would do anything to damage my children. I'd like to think that I am more stable than Mia has been known to be and far less explosive, as she proved in her younger days… but you know what? I have no idea how I would react. I just hope I wouldn't abuse my children.

But that's easy for me to say, isn't it.

Did I answer your question?

"Bloody hell. I would be a wreck. "




Him doing that is enough to make people question his morals, can't blame people for not supporting him after that stunt. I haven't personally heard recordings of Mia's voice brainwashing their children so I can't auto-believe she did that. The kids say she didn't, his own bio son is repulsed by him marrying his sister. Difficult to overlook.

 

[nycmom]

His morals don't even need to be questioned, he is clearly is missing something in that department!

But I think this quote sums up my feelings about some of the comments I've read online that simply aren't true...

If anyone is creeped out by the notion of a 55-year old man becoming involved with his girlfriend’s 19-year old adopted daughter, I understand. That makes perfect sense. But why not get the facts straight? If the actual facts are so repugnant to you, then why embellish them?

[missjay7]

From what I can remember, Allen took naked photos of Soon Yi. That the whole thing with her started when she was only 17.

I keep seeing this story brought up but I've never seen the source this came from. Not saying it don't believe it, I just would like to know where it originates.

Regardless of whether or not they started their relationship after she was of legal age, it gives me the creeps.

I keep seeing so much misinformation floating around, and by promoting them it only weakens Dylan's side of the story.

Every time I see this thread I feel sick.

So because people challenge your perception of things, they are combating you? It's a public forum, of course we are going to challenge each other opinions, now unless you want to go private.

The startling thing in your post is not only you say you are going to be heartbroken but you keep deflecting by bringing Mia Farrow into the equation, as if doubting and comparing her antics gives weight to your answer. Oh well...
