Someone in another thread linked this article, which I found to be very well written, and even-handed. Everyone should read it ... several very interesting things in there I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.

I particularly found amusing the fact that this tribute, that got her to start sniping nasty tweets .... she signed a release so that a film clip of HER could be a part of it. Unbelievable.
what planet are you on... he took on Mias family to bring up as his own surely.. and knew the girl from a younger age... its sick to see someone in the family as a sex object to take nude photos of.. he s an old ugly perv, end of..

How can a 41 year old woman be visualized as a child by a man? And they've also passed the intense screening process and been able to adopt two children since Mia's nonsensical accusations. Just because there are pedophiles in the world, doesn't mean that all people who are in age gap relationships are pedophiles.

Celine Dion is 26 years younger than her husband Rene and they've been happily married for 18 years. And I'm a 55 year old woman who is in a 23 age gap relationship, we've been together for ten years. I met him when he was 22. A solid long term romantic relationship is much more than just sex, it's also being good companions to one another.

I think that what was appealing to Woody about Soon-Yi was her intelligence, maturity and calm disposition, in sharp contrast to Mia's craziness and all the drama that occurs in celebrity circles.

Anyway, here is Woody Allen's response that was printed in the New York Times paper:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/op...?smid=fb-share
I agree with your post here. I read the whole link and think Woody Allen has taken the high road with his response.

Also, thanks for sharing your personal story.

And stop comparing your co-worker's experiences with what is happening with the Woody Allen situation. Every single abuse situation is different. Yes, there are sex abusers, but it's also a very common situation for bitter and vindictive ex-spouses to tell lies and attack their exes. Women lie too and make up false accusations of rape.
Agree. I cannot imagine doing to my child what Mia has done to her child and other children.

Indeed, women lie too.

Did you even READ the article from The Daily Beast? It doesn't sound like it from what you wrote.

To calipoppy:

All that those photos you posted show to me are family outings. YOU are the SICK one here to insinuate anything more. They are photos taken in PUBLIC. I could go on, but why bother. Some people on this thread are just too scary for me to acknowledge anymore.

Those pictures show Woody holding hands with his daughter(s) and with them on his lap (in public, with his wife present), all with the caption "Look at how he is holding this girl - it is SICKENING".

I thought the pictures with that caption were meant as satire, as they surely do not portray anything other than typical loving father/daughter poses, until I read your previous remarks. Maybe they are and you do not realize it. Whatever you think of Woody - surely you have to admit that these pictures, if they were anyone else but him, are not in the least bit "sickening". To label them as such is in itself disturbing and sick.

I certainly hope that a picture of me holding my daughters hand or with her on my lap is not labeled "sickening".

End of? What are you, the self-proclaimed arbiter of what should be?

He did not "take on Mia's family to bring up as his own". He didn't live with them. How is that bringing anyone up?

And the notion that because someone knew the other person "from a younger age" that any relationship is perverted ... well, there are an awful lot of perverted couples out there, then.

Wow. Double standard much? So why aren't you raging over the child bride situation in Africa and other countries? Those men are true pedophiles.

In countries where the legal age of marriage differs by sex, the age for women is always lower. In Benin, Cameroon, Gabon, Mali, Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the legal age of marriage is 18 for males and only 15 for females.

Thanks for those fascinating photos of Woody and Soon-Yi and their 2 adopted children from China. Look at how Woody holds his "daughters". Never in one million years would my father have ever put his hands on me or my sister like that. There was this built in, natural modesty and physical distancing as we grew older. Fathers who hold onto girls that age are inappropriate and sickening. If those photos are authentic, then I do feel he has a sick attraction to young women (girls, even). The guy is no good.

Start a thread about it and perhaps I will. And I also find it interesting that you did not mention the well-known child sex trade in Asia...but of course YOU wouldn't Miu.
