Woody Allen Hearts Pablo Picasso
Woody Allen takes his family — sister Letty, 65, his wife Soon-Yi Previn, 36, and their daughters Bechet, 8, Manzie, 7 — to visit the “Picasso et Les Maitres” exhibition at Grand Palais Museum on The Champs Elysees Avenue in Paris on Sunday (December 28).
Later in the day in Poland, the 74-year-old director performed his clarinet with the New Orleans Jazz Band at Warsaw’s Sala Kongresowa. The audience of almost 3,000 gave Woody a standing ovation. (He rarely performs in large venues or outside New York City, where he lives.)

Those on here who don’t see anything wrong with what Woody did, must be just as morally bankrupt as he is. That girl, Soon-yi was likely a minor when he started with her.
How in the hell can you watch your girlfriends(the mother of two your children) adopted daughter grow-up, then have an intimate relationship with her. It borders of incest.
He watched Soon-yi grow up.
Contrary to what his sick fans say. Woody WAS a father figure to Soon-yi, because he was around her since she was 9 years old, AND he was the father of two of her sibling.
You got both of their ages wrong. He’s 73, she’s 38.
This man makes me sick, literally sick to say the least. Why isn’t he in jail? I just know he’s having sex with all his kids, it’s happend once it’s happening now. Just the way the little girl looks while he’s holding her hand looks like she’s disgusted. The way these actresses fawn over this pedaphile is nasty.
Do you know taking photos of people, even if they are famous, is forbidden in France ?
Photographs need to have Woody Allen’s agreement, in this case, to publish photos. They may be sued by him.
French laws protect the right of privacy even if they are on public places.
Horrifying to see this sick, old perve still has access to children. And they don’t look very happy. Particularly the light haired girl who looks like a shell! Ashen faced with double bags under her eyes as if she’s barely slept for days!? Bear in mind that Woody Allen was taken to court over a child abuse case involving his daughter Dylan who was 4 years old when the alleged abuse started. He managed to get off with it because he cruelly demanded to summon the child in question to testify which would have meant a young child being cross examined in great detail over the abuse in court. Mia, understandably dropped it. The child had already suffered enough psychological and emotional damage.
this old dude scares the crap out of me.
he looks like a pedophile.
this old dude scares the crap out of me.

GET OVER IT? He took naked pictures of Soon when she was 16. He was accused of molesting his daughter when she was 4. Although nothing was proven, it doesn’t seem like Mia to falsely accuse him.
As another poster said…there should be no statute of limitations on pedophilia and murder.
I made a vow when this happened to never ever watch another Woody Allen film or support anything else he did and I’ve kept to it and will keep to it unless it is proven beyond a doubt that he didn’t molest Dylan or Soon when she was young.
Contrary to what has been stated about molesting his adopted daughter Dylan, the court dropped the matter altogether. There was no evidence that he ever violated her. To make these claims about his adopted daughters today is unfounded and cruel.
Yes, Soon-Yi was underage when the relationship began- but he did not forcefully rape her. And if she was born in 1970, the relationship was not discovered until 1992 when she was 22 years old (of age and legal). And the sex was consensual not forced- she has since married him, she has adopted 2 children with him. So let’s separate him immediately from a violent pedophile. There is no evidence of this.
And again, Woody was not Soon-Yi’s father figure. He never lived with Mia at any time during their relationship and they were not married (these are common facts admitted by both parties). Mia even stated in her biography that the children had no relationship with Woody. Soon-Yi’s father was Andre Previn who was active in their lives following the divorce. So there was no connection to Woody other than him dating Mia on and off.
And as someone pointed out earlier, Mia married Frank Sinatra when she was 21 and he was 50. Sinatra’s daughter was only 5 years younger than Mia. When she began her relationship with Andre Previn, he was married. So she also has some skeletons in her closet. And as Soon-Yi stated before, “she’s no Mother Teresa.”
Woody stated in a recent interview that you can’t help who you fall in love with and he fell in love with Soon-Yi. He also admits he made terrible mistakes in regards to Mia and how she discovered the relationship. He has never denied his guilt nor dismissed his part in the breakup.
This is all old news. If we boycotted every celebrity who has commited immoral acts, then we would never watch a movie or television show. Again, these situations have already happened in Hollywood and today, we look back on them quite differently.
I personally admire them for remaining a private and quiet couple who minds their own business and never makes rude or cruel claims against other people. Others should try the same thing once in awhile.
I am from Poland too! Pozdrawiam!
hey @#11
Polanski didn’t know how old she was. She was 14 that’s why they call that rape
thats diffrent situation
its like Brad Pitt is going to marry angelina jolie little girl(adopted one) some day
that sick
this the quote I was looking for in a Vanity Fair interview from 2005:
But in 1992 he abruptly fell to earth. His longtime companion and lead actress, Mia Farrow, found his nude Polaroids of 21-year-old Soon-Yi Farrow Previn, one of her adopted children (with former husband André Previn), on the mantelpiece in his living room, and the subsequent scandal burst into the headlines like a nuclear fireball. Farrow accused Allen of sexually abusing their adopted daughter, Dylan, then seven. Allen indignantly denied her charges. “I never did anything. I would never molest a child,” he said during a hearing. He was cleared by a panel of doctors from Yale New Haven Hospital, but Farrow eventually won full custody of Dylan as well as the couple’s biological son, Satchel, then 4, and their adopted son, Moses, 14. The judge in the case accused Allen of being “self-absorbed” and decried what he saw as Allen’s inability to comprehend the negative impact on his children of his and Soon-Yi’s relationship. Allen was ultimately denied visitation rights with Dylan and allowed to see Satchel only under supervision; Moses, being older, was given a choice and declined to see his father.
Recalling his assertion that he would make the same mistakes all over again, I ask if this is true regarding Farrow. “I’m sure there are things that I might have done differently,” he replies, soberly. “Probably in retrospect I should have bowed out of that relationship much earlier than I did.”

————————————————————————————–
nika: this is actually a completely different scenario altogether…polanski drugged and raped the girl…he knew she was underage because her mother accompanied her to the first photoshoot…he then asked for her to return a 2nd time alone where he asked her to change in front of him and then drugged her and raped her…so I am not sure this compares at all!!
And it also cannot compare to brad pitt because brad adopted angelina’s children…he is their father because he has lived with them full-time and raised them…woody never lived with mia nor adopted soon-yi nor raised her children…they were also not married…
It’s a different situation…
Look at that, he’s already holding hands with his next daughter-wife!
He’s just disgusting!
To: Edie, Maya & Give me a break:
“Get over it?” You never “get over” pedophiles. Did you ever stop to think, Woody didn’t want to be a dad to Mia’s kids because all he had on his mind at the time was f**cking Mia’s young daughter? Where are you from?? Saudi Arabia where they allow men to sell off their 8 year old daughters to much older men for sex and god knows what else!
People should never “get over it!” Pedophiles are sick, disgusting people and frankly by the looks of the picture with Woody and “his” young daughter Manzie, she may be experiencing the same thing her mother Soon Yi did.
PEOPLE ~ NEVER GET OVER IT!!! Pedophiles are sick and need to be stopped! Woody should have been arrested and placed in jail with real men who would show him a thing are to about being taken advantage of!
To Susan:
For all your words - you have absolutely no morals, values or wisdom. The fact that your condoning bad behavior? Just because Woody is a celebrity, you want to give him a pass? It doesn’t matter if it happened 20 years ago, 20 months ago or 20 days ago… Woody is a sick and twisted pedophile and you want to sit here and make excuses for the fact that he had sex with an under-aged girl but that it didn’t come out until she was 22? Susan?? Are you sure you’re not some in-the-closet male pedophile yourself?
I don’t care if I ever see another movie if it involved law enforcement locking up every celebrity who committed immoral act. You people who justify Woody’s behavior should be rounded up and taken to those 3rd world countries where pedophilia is accepted and god knows what else. You don’t deserve to live in America.
Susan…
Your post made me sick at heart. Soon was supposedly 16 when Allen began his relationship with her. That is sick. And it is not forgivable since he is an adult and she was legally a child. I’ve read she is also somewhat simple. If that is true, then his actions are even more unforgivable.
For you to excuse the molestation based on a time frame is truly horrible. God forbid you ever have children.
Are you guys crazy!? It matter whether he was living in the house with Mia and the children? Really!? For the record what he did was inappropriate! Who knows how long he cultivated a sexual relationship with Soon-Yi. Please. Do you really think that he didn’t have sexual thoughts about her when she was 15 or 16.
You think that on the day when she turned the appropriate age and bam! he suddenly had sexual feelings for her. The fact that some people are willing to go to such lengths to excuse this behaviour is just mind boggling to me.
It’s always so surprising to me that they were able to adopt children.
As for the comment about how long we’re going to keep harping on he married Soon-Yi? The answer is simple: for as long as it takes for everyone to understand the magnitude of what he did. He not only betrayed Mia he betrayed a young girl’s need for emotional and financial security.
So now I’m a pedophile because I don’t comdemn Woody Allen 100% completely? I never excused his behavior and stated before that I don’t believe any of us will understand the motives or their relationship. But I refuse to go as far as to state that he is a monster or that he’s probably molesting his adopted daughters today. There is NO evidence to suggest this and to claim that is unfounded. But I have attempted to understand the facts of their relationship rather than making assumptions. People here stated a lot of untrue facts (that he and Mia lived together or that they were married). The simple fact is that none of us knows what type of relationship Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn have together. You can make assumptions, but there is no evidence to support any of your claims.
And by the way, Soon-Yi has a master’s degree from Columbia University in special education- so where is this evidence that she is simple? Because she is a housewife and stay-at-home mother? She’s an intelligent woman who chose on her own free will to marry Woody and adopt 2 daughters together. Unless she pops up claiming he forcefully married her or locked her up as a prisoner, you have to accept that they married each other based on love.
Everyone is free to feel whichever way about any one. And I never claimed he was exempt from guilt because he was a celebrity- but this takes me back to the Roscoe Arbuckle days of Hollywood and the Chaplin accusations. What I meant is that these moral scandals have popped up before in Hollywood and many decades later, we see the evidence in a new light and can make a less judgmental statement about it today.
You can hold whatever opinion you want (as can I and that does not make me sick or perverted thank you), but I was pointing out the fact that there were misconceptions being stated and that the evidence needed to be presented as is.
Też jestem z Polski i czytam jareda, hehe, ale nie bylo mnie w kongresowej (za daleko) ;)
Nice to see Woody out with his sister and “three” daughters.
a realist @ 12/29/2008 at 11:10 am Mia found that disgusting man with photos of her naked TEEN-AGE daughter.
Soon-yi was the child of Woody’s then girlfriend Mia.
Woody was the father of
______________________________________________
I agree with you. At the very least, he got involved with and married the child of his girlfriend. Very wierd…boundaries were crossed.
Also, this would have made an excellent Jerry Springer episode.
To Susan:
Again, for all of your long taunts and words, you have no wisdom or morals. It doesn’t even matter about the - what did you call it “misconceptions being stated”… IT DOESN’T MATTER!!!
Even if Woody didn’t live with Mia or that they didn’t adopt Soon-Yi or that he wasn’t a fatherly figure - IT DOESN’T MATTER!!! The fact still remains, he had sex with a minor - It doesn’t matter that he married her later as an adult or how happy they are now or what’s going on in their bedroom. He used his relationship with Mia to get close to her adopted daughter to have SEX!!! Woody’s behavior should never be forgotten or forgiven. He should be the poster child of all pedophiles and especially because he’s a celebrity.
I can’t talk about what happened in the Chaplin days because I wasn’t born and Chaplin is dead so unfortunately he can’t be physically persecuted for his behavior.
Woody Allen did the unspeakable. He had sex and took advantage of a minor. Do you honestly believe Soon Yi - hardly speaking any english and truly knowing what’s right from wrong - knew what she was doing when she slept with Woody??? As a man, and an older one at that, he completely dominated her and took advantage of her and i’m sure, he started pursuing her well before she was 16!
The fact that you Susan, want to defend that - is despicable and deplorable. As another poster commented - we should never become desensitized from these types of immoral acts. We have to continue to stand out against people like you who have become desensitized and would look at something like this as “common” so lets just move on because it happened so long ago.
Woody Allen is and always will be a pedophile. And again, you are disgusting for sitting here trying to defend a man who had sex with a little girl!!! Susan, you ARE perverted and stop trying to condone disgusting and immoral behavior… you only make yourself look silly
