Woody Allen, Hollywood's Favorite Old Pervert--Part Two

Woody Allen, Hollywood's Favorite Old Pervert--Part Two

 

One would think that 78 year old Allan Stewart Konigsberg, aka Woody Allen, would fold his tattered tent and slink off somewhere and spend his remaining days in oblivion after his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow finally had had enough of Hollywood rewarding him and chose to “resurrect,” as one of Allen’s worshippers called it, charges he had serially molested her when she was a child of seven.

But not old Woody.

Buoyed by Dylan’s brother Moses’ accusations that their mother Mia Farrow had poisoned all her children against their “father,” Allen launched a gratuitous defense in the same New York Times that had published Dylan’s graphic charges less than a week ago in the form of an open letter.

Desperately attempting to protect what little honor he has left, in an article titled, “Woody Allen Speaks Out” which, like Dylan’s letter, appeared in the Times “opinion pages,” Hollywood’s much-honored and oft-feted, favorite old pervert presented his dismissive arguments against those who investigated the 1993 sexual molestation incident.

Cherry-picking and distorting facts, Allen professed his initial shock, hurt, and indignation over the charges, while demeaning Dylan as a Mia-brainwashed, “vulnerable” little girl and ripping her mother as a vengeful liar.

For obvious reasons, he never references the views of Mia Farrow’s friends who believed he seemed “obsessed” by Dylan or his routine of arriving at her home at six a.m. so he could sit on the end of her bed and stare at her and his insistence that he tuck her in at night.

Nor does ol’ Woody mention his confessions in 1976 when he told People magazine, “I’m open-minded about sex.  I’m not above reproach; if anything, I’m below reproach.  I mean, if I was caught in a love nest with 15 12-year-old girls tomorrow, people would think, yeah, I always knew that about him.  Nothing I could come up with would surprise anyone. I admit to it all.”

Neither did Allen comment on his pen pal contact around that time, a then-13-year-old girl named Nancy . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35627.)
