[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woody Allen is a pedophile.  So this kid is his and Soon Yii's child?  [/quote]

No he's not a pedophile. He was cleared by authorities when Mia first brought the case against him during their divorce/custody proceedings. The Yale/New Haven child psychologists said that they felt the child was coached in testimony by her mother. Allen was able to adopt children with his wife Soon-Yi. There is no evidence at all that he was a pedophile.

Now I don't think he's a great guy necessarily. Mia/Woody's divorce was likely a case of ESH (everyone sucks here) in different ways. I do think it's skeevy that men like Allen like younger women, but he does not have a history of having sex with minors or children.

For me, I enjoy their movies a lot, but don't care about fanning or stanning them personally. They're both talented but seemed to have difficult family lives. Woody's mom was physically abusive. Mia's parents were absent/negligent, her brother is a convicted and jailed pedophile and at least two of her adopted non-white children have said she's abusive. Soon-Yi had a terrible life herself, living on the streets at 5 and eating out of dumpsters before she was adopted by Mia, and said Mia physically beat her. Marrying Woody was her "escape" but he was never her stepfather. She is the adopted daughter of Previn. Mia and Woody were married but never lived in the same home - they had their own separate residences on opposite sides of Central Park.

Sad story all around.[/quote]

Allen made a film about his obsession with high school students:

Different people might have different ideas about the age cutoff for pedophilia, but Allen’s is clearly low.  [/quote]

The film wasn't about being obsessed with high school students. Allen made one film (Manhattan, 1979) which featured a relationship between an older man involved with a high school student who he doesn't appreciate (Hemingway), and dumps her for an older woman (Keaton) who he is more obsessed with, but she doesn't treat him well and she dumps him and he goes back to the younger woman. In 1979, the age gap relationship was reacted to differently than it would be today. In 1979, it won the academy award and a lot of popular and critical acclaim. It seems American society and social mores were different than now. There were lots of age gap relationships among celebrities then that seem super problematic now. Elvis Presley and 15-yr old Pricilla. Mia Farrow (19) marrying Frank Sinatra (60+), etc.[/quote]
