News Superman & Lois Ordered to Series at The CW

[Christopher]

So many other people are basically banished from Hollywood at even the slightest accusation, but especially with Allen, nobody seems to have a problem being involved with his movies.

I think you're falling prey to a false narrative by saying people are banished at the slightest accusation. Usually it only happens when the accusations are substantiated by an investigation. There have been cases where an accusation was found lacking in credibility and disregarded, as with George Takei a few years ago. And there are cases that remain ambiguous and come down to he said/she said, as with Woody Allen or Johnny Depp. There are still those who insist the accusations against Allen are false.

And people should be presumed innocent. Accusations should be taken seriously, of course -- the accuser also deserves to be presumed innocent of lying -- but the accused deserves the benefit of the doubt until the question is settled. You don't have to pick one side or the other. It's okay to reserve judgment and let the truth sort itself out.

Diversity isn't left wing politics. Racism is. CW is the most racist network out there.

This'll teach me about reading certain posts.

 

[Maurice]

Actually, it's CW that is focused on it. Diversity can exist without pandering. Diversity isn't left wing politics. Racism is. CW is the most racist network out there. They have this need to check each box so they can pat themselves on the back as to how "diverse" they are when all they are really doing is pandering. And their hatred of white males is not only racist, but it is pure left wing politics.

Any time you start talking about the poor victimized white male, you've officially entered clown country.

Has there ever been an in depth investigation into Woody Allen?

Has there ever been an in depth investigation into Woody Allen?

Yes, decades ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Allen_sexual_abuse_allegation

The Connecticut State's Attorney investigated the allegation but did not press charges,[5] the Connecticut State Police referred Dylan to the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of Yale–New Haven Hospital, which concluded that Woody Allen had not sexually abused Dylan,[6][7] and the New York Department of Social Services found "no credible evidence" to support the allegation.[8]

I've never heard about that before, that does kind make you wonder a little.
He's definitely still creepy though, since he married his barely legal adopted daughter.

EDIT: As Nerys points out below, this is an inaccurate characterization that makes it sound worse than it is.

She not his "adopted daughter", she's the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and her second husband Andre Previn. I guess "early twenties" ( her age when they became involved) might count at barely legal. Still, having an affair with your girlfriend's daughter is pretty low.

 

[JD]

Oh, I hadn't really heard it put that way.
Honestly, most of what I know comes from my mom, because any time he's mentioned in any kind of conversation or anything, she goes off on how horrible he is, and how he married his own (adopted) daughter, and they didn't know how old she was, and she was probably still a kid when he started sleeping with her.

When it comes to making accusations against another human being, get the facts, not hearsay. It's not that hard to do. We have the Internet now.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Mia and Woody lived on dilifferent sides of Central Park, and met in the park to spend time together.

The thing is though, Dylan Farrow--the other adopted daughter--accused him of sexually abusing her when she was very young and has never changed her story. Her brother Ronan insists that Dylan has always told the same story to him. That's where the lingering questions come from. That said, as Christopher notes, there have only ever been allegations.

I didn't advocate for either side. I just said "get the facts." That's a neutral statement. I don't know what the facts say about Allen; I haven't researched the case that closely. But in every case, the first step is to ignore hearsay, rumor, and personal bias and get the most objective information possible.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

It sure is skeevy as hell. Probably not a coincidence that Ronan as a journalist has a hand in taking down those such as Weinstein and Moonves.

Has there ever been an in depth investigation into Woody Allen?

More accusations have emerged since that old investigation (and the prosecutor chose not to file charges out for fear of the emotional trauma it would case to her, not because he thought the claims were baseless), including Ronan Farrow's accounts of his sister (Dylan) being "groomed" for sexual abuse by Woody Allen as a child, and how most of the mainstream news media refused to publish her information on the situation. No one has that many pedophile accusations / open revelations about them over the decades and its all just a "lie" or coincidence. But he is protected by an immoral media culture that apparently sees little wrong with his history, so they continue to celebrate and/or defend him as in the case of Polanski (who had over 100 entertainers sign a petition for his release after he was arrested in Switzerland in 2009) and of course, Chaplin.
