They are unproven allegations though. In fact, Allen was cleared of wrongdoing the one time it was investigated by psychologists at Yale/New Haven. Other children adopted by Farrow have said they were coached by Farrow to make up stories about Allen. But we'll never know the actual truth. He was cleared officially by authorities.

He married his step daughter.

Let it go, they are old and happily married.

No.

I'll bet they have been married longer and are happier than you will ever be. Worry about yourself.

They have been married longer than I have been, but not happier, as neither my husband nor I has ever pursued a close friendship with a known pedophile nor had to ask said pedophile to help our children accomplish basic educational goals that should be easy for children from wealthy families.

Their family is really screwed up, pretending otherwise just because it's normalized for a long time thanks to Woody's fame and wealth is not okay.

We don't need to pretend. Soon Yi has a voice and has spoken out on her own behalf. But, I'm sure you, random stranger know best.

The worst thing Allen did was name the kid Bechet.

Who is the pedophile apologist troll in this thread? Ever since the whole Lively/Baldoni thing, I now assume this is a PR plant from someone who works for Woody to try and tamp down discussion of his pedophilia.

That's easier for me to understand than someone who is really spending their day telling people online that Woody Allen is just a normal dude who just happened to fall in mutual and respectful love with his girlfriend's teenage daughter. Totes normal, nothing to see here!

Has she spoken out to explain her and Woody's close friendship with Epstein? Has she addressed why they felt they needed Epstein's help to get their privileged daughters to graduate high school or attend a college with very little competition and which regularly admits the kids of Hollywood celebrities? Has she addressed how completely humiliating these revelations must be for her kids?

I'm far from perfect but I feel okay asserting that my marriage and my parenting is going a better than the Allen-Previn household. What are you even defending here?

Has anyone? I'm sure you're an A+ parent. Their adopted daughter may have had a tougher time than your perfect kids in your perfect house. God forbid her parent want to do their best for her.

Agreed but also: Soon-yi's mothering sounds rough. She has survived a lot of trauma, some of it never acknowledge by her (I consider being groomed by your mom's boyfriend and having a sexual relationship with him as a teen, serious psycho-sexual trauma even if you later marry him and have kids with him -- I'm betting she does not), and she had no maternal role models when she became a mom (totally estranged from Farrow since the early 90s when her relationship with Woody was found out, and she never knew her birth mom).

So her kids now deal with generational trauma from their mom's early experiences as an orphan in South Korea, the clearly dysfunctional home she grew up in, her grooming and relationship with Woody, her estrangement from her mom, and the ongoing trauma of having a father who is continually and credibly accused of being a pedophile. And now it all gets dragged up again with the Epstein files and worse, both girls names are being mentioned in the files in embarrassing ways.

It's horrific. It's just layer upon layer of trauma and betrayal. As someone who carries my own heavy weight of generational and personal trauma -- this is such a weight to bear.

Woody is not her dad. Does the surname Previn tip you off at all? This is a lot of gross arm chair psychology. You don't know them.

Previn hasn't been in her life since she was a child. Woody was the closest thing she had to a father figure in her adolescence, as Previn was completely absent from her life after he and Mia divorced. She's also been estranged from Previn altogether since the relationship with Woody was revealed.

The Woody Allen defense in this thread is weird to me.

If you are the person defending Woody or his relationship with Soon-Yi or their relationship with Epstein or them using Epstein's money to try and cheat the system for their kids... why? Genuinely don't understand why someone would defend all this.

Well the accuser’s brother believes the accusations.

For God’s sake, their mother found out about Allen’s ADMITTED affair with her daughter when she stumbled upon raunchy nude photos of her daughter in Allen’s apartment. The girl was a freshman in college. Allen was 35 years older than her, and had been her mother’s boyfriend for more than a decade. He cried upon being confronted and said he had “lost control” of himself.

Those are the parents that this poor young woman got stuck with. And everyone knows it. And everyone now knows they enlisted Epstein’s help in getting her into college. Can you imagine???

This seems improbable. I'd believe this more if Bechet needed help getting into Yale, rather than Bard. Maybe as Bard's president said, Epstein took credit for this even when he didn't do much. I doubt they needed Epstein's help to get her into Bard, an arts college that would have been delighted to have Woody Allen's child attend under normal circumstances. Soon-Yi herself is a Columbia alum and Allen of course is an Oscar winner.

Soon-Yi went to Drew.

Yeah, I would have thought Soon-Yi Previn, as an adoptee who was obviously unrelated and a clear cut charity case to her adoptive mother, would have known better than to adopt two children herself.
I suspect her decisions in life, the relationship with gross old famous stepfather, the fawning over Epstein, stabbing her adoptive mother in the back, have to do with an inferiority complex, an extreme outsider (pitiable unwanted Korean orphan) but insider (luxury childhood to famous adoptive parents) status. and simple adoptive dissociation. But that's just a theory.

Yeah, I guess there were people before Allen doing something similar.
Gloria Graham married her stepson. I think it started when stepson was 14.
Despite the precedent, ick. Her career kind of went to the skids after that.

Her adoptive mother seems like a real POS. Her other kids don't seem to think she was a great parent.

Woody Allen is a pedophile. So this kid is his and Soon Yii's child?
