He's 35 years older than her, it would still be a creepy union. They are happy at the expense of others. They're selfish and he's a predator who groomed her to be his wife. If anything Mia Farrow gave Soon-Yi opportunities by adopting her and giving her a new life. Having an affair with her partner is how she repays her mother. They're both sick.

Woody Allen is sour-faced as French comedian cracks Polanski rape joke aimed at him during Cannes Film Festival premiere of his new movie - and star Blake Lively leaps to his defense
Woody Allen became the butt of a joke at his own movie premiere Wednesday night.
French comedian Larent Lafitte took aim at the 80-year-old director before the screening of
Cafe Society at the Cannes Film Festival last night, making a comparison between Allen and fellow director Roman Polanski, who fled to Europe after being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl.
'Youve shot so many of your films here in Europe and yet in the U.S. you havent even been convicted of rape,' Lafitte said in front of the packed theater.
The comment was received with gasps across the theater and looks of silent shock from Allen and the stars of his new film, who were all seated in the same row.
At a lunch to promote the film the next day, Allen claimed he wasn't offended by the comment.
While Allen claimed to be unmoved by the joke, Blake Lively, one of the stars of his new movie, leapt to his defense.
'I think any jokes about rape, homophobia or Hitler is not a joke,' Blake told Variety. 'I think that was a hard thing [to] swallow in 30 seconds. Film festivals are such a beautiful, respectful festivals of film and artists and to have that, it felt like it wouldnt have happened if it was in the 1940s. I cant imagine Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby going out and doing that. It was more disappointing for the artists in the room that someone was going up there making jokes about something that wasnt funny.'
Both Allen and Lively claimed not to have read the essay penned by Allen's son Ronan Farrow in the Hollywood Reporter, which brings up old allegations that the director molested his adopted daughter Dylan.
'I never read anything about me,' Allen said. 'Any of these interviews I do, anything. I said everything I had to say about that whole issue in the New York Times, I dont know if you read it, some time ago. I have moved so far past that. You know, I never think about it. I work, and thats the end of it for me. I said I was never gonna comment on it again because I could just go on endlessly.'
Farrow wrote in the essay that he believes his adopted sister and blames the press and the actors who continue to work with his father for enabling him and ignoring the serious allegations.
'Tonight, the Cannes Film Festival kicks off with a new Woody Allen film,' Ronan Farrow wrote.
'Hell have his stars at his side Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Steve Carell, Jesse Eisenberg. They can trust that the press wont ask them the tough questions. Its not the time, its not the place, its just not done.
'There will be press conferences and a red-carpet walk by my father and his wife (my sister).'
But unlike Ronan predicted, the press has actually been harder on Allen this time.
At an especially awkward press conference, Allen had to feign deafness when a journalist asked why his films so often portray affairs between exceptionally young women and much older men.
'What did she say?' Allen asked. 'You know I have hearing aids and I put the microphone over my hearing aids to give me a double shot and its still not working.'
One of Cafe Society's stars, Jesse Eisenberg, piped in and rephrased the question, to ask: 'How do you decide on your romantic motifs?'
'I have always thought of myself as a romantic - this is not necessarily shared by the women in my life,' Allen said.
This is a theme echoed in Allen's life, who married Soon Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of his former girlfriend Mia Farrow, after starting an affair with her when she was just 21 years old. The couple are 35 years apart in age.

Not all child molesters have a repeat history, especially when a family member becomes the object of their affections. It's very common for them to have one or two victims. Woody Allen had at last two underage victims.
I have never seen one of his movies; not my preferred genre. The things that men in Hollywood can get away with are insane. I've mentioned this on tPF before... I worked in the industry during my younger days before going back to school for my current career. Most of the "casting couch" stuff is essentially molestation as some of these girls are teenagers.

Woody Allen's Adopted Son Claims Mia Farrow 'Brainwashed' Him and Was Physically Abusive: Report
Moses Farrow, the adopted son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, is claiming that his estranged mother was emotionally and physically abusive towards her children, and coached his sister Dylan to accuse their father of sexual abuse.
Moses, who has been supportive of Allen in the past in regards to sexual abuse allegations, made the new claims against Farrow in an interview with Eric Lax for his new book Start to Finish: Woody Allen and the Art of Moviemaking, according to an excerpt of the book obtained by the New York Times.
In 2014, Dylan – who is one of the star’s three children with Farrow – publicly claimed that Allen molested her as a child. (Farrow accused Allen of molesting Dylan in 1992 amid a custody battle but he was never charged with a crime relating to the alleged assault.) Allen adamantly denied Dylan’s claims at the time, and, again, after his son Ronan wrote a May 2016 column condemning the media for not asking his father about the allegations in The Hollywood Reporter.
In an excerpt of Lax’s book, the Times reports that Moses details a number of instances in which Farrow was allegedly emotionally and physically abusive towards her children.
“Now that I no longer live in fear of her rejection, I am free to share how she cultivated and brainwashed me,” Moses reportedly says.
PEOPLE have reached out to Farrow’s representatives for comment on the accusations but have yet to hear a response.
In response, Farrow said in a statement to the Times, “Moses has cut off his entire family including his ex-wife who was pregnant when he left. It’s heartbreaking and bewildering that he would make this up, perhaps to please Woody. We all miss and love him very much.”
After Dylan detailed abuse allegations against Allen to the Times in 2014, Moses to PEOPLE, “Of course Woody did not molest my sister. She loved him and looked forward to seeing him when he would visit. She never hid from him until our mother succeeded in creating the atmosphere of fear and hate towards him.”
Dylan answered at the time, “My mother never coached me. She never planted false memories in my brain. My memories are mine. I remember them. She was distraught when I told her. When I came forward with my story she was hoping against hope that I had made it up.”

All of these reports forget to mention that Soon-Yi was developmentally behind, not just with education, but also psychological and social relations .

Ronan Farrow regrets not challenging Woody Allen sooner over sister’s molestation allegations
Ronan Farrow, one of the journalists who helped chronicle Harvey Weinstein’s alleged reign of terror with his bombshell report in the New Yorker, is working on another story that he says will expose the “machine” that allows powerful men in Hollywood and in society at large to get away with being sexual predators, sometimes for decades.
During an appearance Friday on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, Farrow said his new story will address the mechanisms that allowed the multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations against Weinstein to be hushed up for so long.
“People have asked, ‘How could this many allegations have stayed undercover this long?’” he explained. “I think there’s much more to be said about just how far that went.”
But Farrow pointed out that this “machine” isn’t just limited to Hollywood, and it’s not just powerful figures using threats about job opportunities to keep victims silent. It also comes from victims facing the possibility of shame within their own families.
He acknowledged to Colbert that he should know about these personal mechanisms that work to keep victims silent — because he was part of a family that was wary about his older sister Dylan Fallow publicly discussing her claims that their estranged father Woody Allen had molested her when she was 7.
“I was for many years one of the people around a victim of sexual assault, saying ‘Why bother coming forward more? What will it achieve? It’s just going to be will bring shame and trouble, and he’s a powerful guy,'” Farrow told Colbert.
As it happens, Farrow’s statement to Colbert isn’t the first time he has admitted his concerns about his sister coming forward.
In a powerful 2016 guest column for the Hollywood Reporter, “My Father, Woody Allen, and the Danger of Questions Unasked,” the former MSNBC host described how his father’s PR machine “revved into action” after Dylan decided to write about her experience in a 2014 open letter.
Farrow said, “Every day, colleagues at news organizations forwarded me the emails blasted out by Allen’s powerful publicist, who had years earlier orchestrated a robust publicity campaign to validate my father’s sexual relationship with another one of my siblings.”
Farrow was referring to his father’s affair with Soon-Yi Previn, Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter with her ex-husband Andre Previn. That affair was the initial event that ended Allen’s long-time relationship with Mia Farrow.
“Those emails (from Allen’s publicist) featured talking points ready-made to be converted into stories, complete with validators on offer — therapists, lawyers, friends, anyone willing to label a young woman confronting a powerful man as crazy, coached, vindictive,” Farrow wrote. “At first, they linked to blogs, then to high-profile outlets repeating the talking points — a self-perpetuating spin machine.
Farrow said his sister tried to get her letter published in numerous outlets, but they refused, and only New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof would publish her piece on his blog.
In her letter, Dylan Farrow alleged that Allen had “groomed” her with inappropriate touching as a young girl and sexually assaulted her when she was 7 years old.
Allen has long denied the allegations. Farrow said his father was investigated but a prosecutor decided not to file charges, out of concern that a trial would subject the young girl to more trauma, though he announced publicly that he had “probable cause” to prosecute.
But aside from Dylan’s letter being rejected by different outlets, Farrow admits he initially didn’t want her speaking up. He said he felt shame about this “painfully public family history” and had long worked to distance himself from it, especially as he was launching his journalism career.
“Initially, I begged my sister not to go public again and to avoid speaking to reporters about it,” he said.
However, Farrow said that he always believed his sister’s account of what happened, given what he remembered from their childhood. As an attorney with a degree from Yale Law School, Farrow also said he had gone through the evidence and found his sister’s claims “credible.”
He eventually came around to realizing she was right to speak up:
“When Dylan explained her agony in the wake of powerful voices sweeping aside her allegations, the press often willing to be taken along for the ride, and the fears she held for young girls potentially being exposed to a predator — I ultimately knew she was right.”
Fast forward to November 2017 and to Colbert’s show, when the host asked him if his desire to do the Weinstein story was in any way motivated by his family’s experience.
Farrow said that he simply received the assignment from New Yorker editors, though he acknowledged that, yes, “what was was instrumental” in driving him throughout the course of his reporting was that “sexual assault was a an issue that had touched my family.”
“I understood over time the importance of confronting it honestly and the importance of tough meticulous reporting in exposing these kinds of crimes,” he said.
He didn’t reveal much more on Colbert’s show about the scope of his upcoming story — whether it will just focus on Weinstein or take in a broader context, even his own family’s experience. But he repeated the idea that it’s important for everyone, especially including journalists, to start listening to victims and give them a voice.
“It was a long process of my realizing you, know, that the fact that (my sister) wants to speak up is something important ethically. and I as a reporter, whether looking at Bill Cosby or Roger Miles or Harvey Weinstein, you have to get tougher. We all have to get tougher,” he said.

Dylan Farrow to discuss her sexual abuse allegations against Woody Allen in first television interview
As past Woody Allen collaborators distance themselves from the filmmaker, his daughter Dylan Farrow is set for her first television interview to discuss her allegations against him.
Farrow recently sat down with Gayle King for a wide-ranging interview, which will air during Thursday’s CBS This Morning. “I am credible and I am telling the truth and I think it’s important that people realize that one victim, one accuser, matters,” she tells King. “And that they are enough to change things.”
A seven-year-old Farrow accused her father of molesting her in 1992. In the years since, Allen has repeatedly denied Farrow’s allegations, writing in a 2014 piece published by The New York Times, “Of course, I did not molest Dylan.” After the publication of Farrow’s Los Angeles Times op-ed in December, a representative for Allen said, “Dylan Farrow’s allegations against Woody Allen, which she first made 25 years ago, have been thoroughly examined by law enforcement officials and child welfare investigators. The investigators concluded unambiguously that Dylan Farrow was not sexually abused. No charges were ever filed, and the reason is simple: because Woody Allen is innocent.”
In the wake of the accusations against Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and others, Farrow called out prominent actresses, includuing Greta Gerwig, Blake Lively, and Kate Winslet for continuing to work with the filmmaker in her L.A. Times piece. Subsequently, Gerwig, Mira Sorvino, and Rebecca Hall have expressed regret for working with Allen; in the last week, Hall and Timothée Chalamet have both pledged to donate their salaries from the upcoming Allen film A Rainy Day in New York to the Time’s Up legal defense fund and other organizations.
CBS This Morning airs weekdays at 7 a.m. ET.

I hope it's finally the time and climate for this man to fall.
That would be sweet. The entire entertainment industry has been kowtowing to him for decades and they all know he's one of the biggest pervs out there.
Agree, he's disgusting. I can't believe so many continue to work with him. Alec Baldwin is defending him. . . gross.
Alec Baldwin has a point.
Woody was never charged because they found no reason to charge him. Dylan was repeatedly investigated and continually found without merit because her stories were very inconsistent.
Childhood memories become very muddled over time, not clearer.
Dylan has another brother, Moses, who says it was Mia not Woody who was abusive.
Woody never had any allegations against him and what pedophile isn't a repeat offender? They most often have a history of molesting other children, yet he doesn't. You're saying this is a one-off crime?

I believe WA is a disgusting man and possible a sexual abuser. He creeps me out.
That said, I am tired of all of the calling out. This intimidation of others is not acceptable. While not as bad as the SA going on, it is using power to control others' actions. Expose the facts. Let people make their own choices. Then, let them face any consequences. I don't need Kate Winslet or Blake Lively to represent me or do what I tell them. I can choose whether to go to their movies. If someone chooses to work with a predator, then, thank you for letting me see you for who you are.
jmho as always
PS Guilt shaming anyone doesn't mean their reaction is their true intention.
PPS I hope WA rots in hell. I guess that says how I feel about him and have for years, along with Polanski and some others. I do not have any empathy for them.

I happen to believe he has done some wrong. Not sure what it is. Right now, the mob rule is in place and anyone accused is guilty. Many of them actually are. Unfortunately, there will be some innocents caught up in the crowd,
I try to remember the Duke Lacrosse team when I see myself jumping to conclusions too quickly.
It's no surprise Alec Baldwin would defend him. He's a complete ass too. Why does everyone forget about the cruel, demeaning voicemail rant he left for his little daughter ten years ago?
Woody Allen used Alec Baldwin in three of his films. In Hollywood terms Woody has bought Alec's loyalty for life.

This might help explain why a few of your points don't carry much weight:

To paraphrase, he was never charged cause they didn't want to put Dylan though the emotional distraught....not cause there was no evidence.
Those memories that were questioned turned out to make sense upon later investigation
There were other witnesses that contradict Moses
You realize he started an intimate relationship with his adopted daughter (she was adopted at age 9), yes? It started in the late 80s, which makes her 17 - 19 (technically she has no birth cert, but her estimated birthdate is in 1970), so it's highly likely he was intimately involved with her when she was a younger teen and some grooming of her on his part.
Dude is a pedo at least, creepy AF at most.
Not to you, Jayne, but as for the Duke Lacrosse case...while a false claim, that should have never become an issue. The cops and prosecutors let that escalate when it never should.
