13. Why do people care so much about these hollywood stars and their lives?

Wed Feb 5, 2014, 02:45 AM

Feb 2014

No one has any clue what went on between those two. We know both of them were, by most people's standard, 'different' shall we say. Loyalty to partners doesn't enter into their lives. SHE was a 19 yr old with a 50 something old husband herself. Maybe a role model to her own daughter. That daughter was her first, or was it second husband's, Andre Previn's daughter, not Woody Allen's. IT does get confusing. SHE now claims the son Allen thought was his, is Frank Sinatra's. Speaking of deceptions, so I guess she must have betrayed him also with her old husband, unless she's not telling the truth.

Seems that's the way things are in Hollywood, and no one seems to get out unscathed.

If she lied about who the father of her son was, but no, women never lie about these things.

Anyhow, it's none of OUR business and they will all make lots of money from the books they write about all of it. Maybe they are all even part of the story. Who knows, who cares.

Good question- why do you write so many very long impassioned posts about it? bettyellen Feb 2014 #14

I'm not fascinated enough to read all that, but thanks anyway! bettyellen Feb 2014 #29

actually I expressed my feelings fully-That was super fucking creepy to read. Sad you need to accuse bettyellen Feb 2014 #21

Were you "creeped out" by Mia Farrow having relationships with Sinatra and Previn? Bonobo Feb 2014 #30

we were discussing the creepy OP, and you accusing DUers of homophobia.... bettyellen Feb 2014 #84

I did not accuse DU'ers of homophobia. Bonobo Feb 2014 #86

Is this your answer to Dylan Farrow's anguished statement that Allen molested her when she was 7? pnwmom Feb 2014 #12

I think that is explained in the OP. Bonobo Feb 2014 #16

I think that is a pretty huge leap. No one is accusing movie directors of being pedophiles. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #91

this is what they spend time on in the mens group, LOL. I have no doubt you will find them hashing bettyellen Feb 2014 #17

Say what you want, but dating a younger woman does not make one a pedophile. Bonobo Feb 2014 #20

I never said that- bless your confused heart. Stop lying about what I said. bettyellen Feb 2014 #26

Your father dating your 19 year old SISTER is what's creepy. Ask Ronan and Dylan. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #92

Not really saying it isn't creepy... Bonobo Feb 2014 #95

It has to do with transgressing sexual boundaries. Allen doesn't seem to think they exist. pnwmom Feb 2014 #100

Being interested in pre-pubescents is a very specific affliction/predilection Bonobo Feb 2014 #111

The incest taboo and the taboo against molesting children are both "boundary things." pnwmom Feb 2014 #117

But people not interested in little children are not interested in little children. nt Bonobo Feb 2014 #124

Most child molesters are NOT exclusively attracted to children. pnwmom Feb 2014 #128

You're right. Absolutely. Bonobo Feb 2014 #131

One of the common misconceptions is Soon-Yi was the daughter of Mia quinnox Feb 2014 #22

That's what adopted means n/t kcr Feb 2014 #24

"betraying your LT partner with her own daughter." quinnox Feb 2014 #28

What does it matter? She's her daughter. kcr Feb 2014 #31

Yes, okay, now tell me how it relates to pedophilia. THAT is the only thing that matters. Bonobo Feb 2014 #35

No, you are the only one who wants to erase all the details kcr Feb 2014 #62

Huh? Bonobo Feb 2014 #63

Yes you are. kcr Feb 2014 #67

So you are denying that people have been saying that they always knew he was "creepy" Bonobo Feb 2014 #70

No, I'm not denying it. Because it isn't just about being attracted to young women! kcr Feb 2014 #76

Yes, but to get there, now you have to pretend that Soon-Yi was not a grown woman but a 10 year old. Bonobo Feb 2014 #77

No. You don't have to. kcr Feb 2014 #78

this is the part where he explains your feelings and opinions are all wrong. bettyellen Feb 2014 #80

No, call him creep all you want. But explain the connection with pedophilia. Bonobo Feb 2014 #83

No. That's where I explain to you kcr Feb 2014 #101

I will give you points for effort. Bonobo Feb 2014 #106

Guess what. People who don't meet the full clinical definition of pedophile molest children kcr Feb 2014 #110

How would that not meet the full clinical definition of pedophile? Bonobo Feb 2014 #112

Don't be obtuse kcr Feb 2014 #114

Sexual molestation of a child does not represent sexual interest in children? Bonobo Feb 2014 #116

It doesn't represent only sexual interest in children. You are flat out wrong. kcr Feb 2014 #119

Oh, I do not deny that and never did. Bonobo Feb 2014 #121

Maybe not directly. It isn't direct evidence. But as a character judgment? Sure it can. kcr Feb 2014 #126

I will end it with this reiteration. Bonobo Feb 2014 #130

Reiterate that all you want. kcr Feb 2014 #132

And that? Can't wrap my head around that. kcr Feb 2014 #87

Not ignoring it. Saying it has no relationship to being attracted sexually to children. nt Bonobo Feb 2014 #90

No relationship whatsoever. kcr Feb 2014 #105

Well, that was kind of a funny read. Bonobo Feb 2014 #108

whole load of ignoring boundary issues going on. bettyellen Feb 2014 #93

You think that's an answer? Seriously? Bonobo Feb 2014 #102

again, I said none of those things- i commented on what a shitty implication you made in the OP. bettyellen Feb 2014 #107

Ice = spellcheck changing "icky" nt Bonobo Feb 2014 #109

Again- you seem to be responding to someone else. Or putting words in my mouth INSTEAD of bettyellen Feb 2014 #113

I never lied about what you said. Bonobo Feb 2014 #115

maybe you need to print it out and check.... at least three posts you just made up words bettyellen Feb 2014 #118

If it is true, I owe you an apology. Bonobo Feb 2014 #122

He did the same thing to me n/t kcr Feb 2014 #127

Err, I said that I made a mistake with you. Bonobo Feb 2014 #137

Oh, Im sorry, I wasn't allowed to mention it to anyone else? kcr Feb 2014 #139

No, but you could have mentioned I made an honest mistake and admitted it. Bonobo Feb 2014 #140

"you can't get off the soon yi thing" kcr Feb 2014 #144

Makes no sense, whatever. nt Bonobo Feb 2014 #146

Just mean it's the reason I wasn't feeling like being too nice kcr Feb 2014 #148

Circular thinking. Wheeeeeeeeee! Bonobo Feb 2014 #81

Ask Quinnox. That's the person who thinks is matters that Soon-Yi was adopted. pnwmom Feb 2014 #97

every adopted child I know is a son or daughter. so.... at least it wasn't incest, right? bettyellen Feb 2014 #48

Part of it. Incest is a big deal quinnox Feb 2014 #56

Soon-Yi is Mia's OWN daughter. Legally and psychologically, there is no difference between pnwmom Feb 2014 #96

Was, not is. Mia and some of the other Farrow family have shunned her and her husband entirely. JVS Feb 2014 #155

oh lord, now I have to explain what adoption is? LOL. bettyellen Feb 2014 #27

what's sad is people commenting who don't even know the basic facts of the case quinnox Feb 2014 #40

my statement was accurate. Soon Yi is her daughter, Woody was LT partner- they conspired to fuck bettyellen Feb 2014 #60

And they got married, and have remained married ever since quinnox Feb 2014 #65

Twenty years! Bonobo Feb 2014 #71

Yep, very close to it. I looked it up, they got married on December 24, 1997 quinnox Feb 2014 #72

LOL, they pretty much have to stay together after that. she could tank his career in a heartbeat bettyellen Feb 2014 #74

wow, pretty cynical view there. Maybe it is true love quinnox Feb 2014 #75

it's interesting when you realize how much leverage she has now. he used to avoid parties like the bettyellen Feb 2014 #79

Honestly, I'm not really interested in those details. I just thought that since they have been quinnox Feb 2014 #82

No, he goes to parties now! Don't you see what that REALLY means? Bonobo Feb 2014 #85

heh quinnox Feb 2014 #88

That has nothing to do with how wrong it was for Ronan's father to marry his sister. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #98

Likely longer and more successful than the marriages of some of his critics Demo_Chris Feb 2014 #152

Soon-Yi was as much the daughter of Mia as you are the child of your parents or I am of mine. pnwmom Feb 2014 #94

Uhm you don't think Mia adopting her makes her Mia's daughter? gollygee Feb 2014 #156

No, it does not make her a biological daughter quinnox Feb 2014 #173

It's an irrelevant fact gollygee Feb 2014 #183

Trying to normalize the dating of underage stepdaughters. It's a new low. kcr Feb 2014 #23

Underage, no. And normalize, no. That's two fails. Bonobo Feb 2014 #32

And sorry you can't grasp that the children of partners are particularly off limits kcr Feb 2014 #36

Okay, off limits. But what does it have to do with pedophilia. Isn't that the issue? Bonobo Feb 2014 #38

What does it have to do with it? kcr Feb 2014 #52

That is so lacking in logic that I don't even know where to start. Bonobo Feb 2014 #55

Once again. Not just talking about being attracted to younger women here. kcr Feb 2014 #59

So what? He knew her since she was 10. So what? Bonobo Feb 2014 #89

I'm suggesting it's a possibility kcr Feb 2014 #123

Yes, that is the circular logic part. nt Bonobo Feb 2014 #125

You don't know what circular logic means n/t kcr Feb 2014 #134

Yes, I do. Bonobo Feb 2014 #135

I have not concluded he's a pedophile kcr Feb 2014 #138

I can see you are big into getting the last word. Bonobo Feb 2014 #142

And I can see that you'll go right back to an erroneous point even when you've conceded it's wrong kcr Feb 2014 #143

I never conceded that. Bonobo Feb 2014 #145

See your response to post 128 n/t kcr Feb 2014 #147

Umm, that doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. Bonobo Feb 2014 #149

You're wrong. kcr Feb 2014 #150

planning that kind of betrayal with your LT partner's own daughter. yikes. bettyellen Feb 2014 #43

Shitty person is related to pedophilia? Seriously. Stop fucking dodging. nt Bonobo Feb 2014 #51

Another common misconception. Soon-Yi was not the step daughter of Woody Allen quinnox Feb 2014 #34

She was ten years old when they met kcr Feb 2014 #46

Yeah.. underage... opiate69 Feb 2014 #39
