60. Soon Yi had a father figure that wasn't Allen and considered the idea laughable

"To think that Woody was in any way a father or stepfather to me is laughable. My parents are Andre Previn and Mia, but obviously they're not even my real parents," Previn said at the time. "I came to America when I was seven. I was never remotely close to Woody. He was someone who was devoted exclusively to his own children and to his work, and we never spent a moment together."

By the time they did spend a moment together, Soon Yi was a sophomore in college. They have been together for 17 years.

Why do people keep saying "Mia defended Polanski"? [View all] redqueen Feb 2014 OP

I don't understand why it would mean anything regardless gollygee Feb 2014 #1

It's just a smear tactic. redqueen Feb 2014 #8

She is a close friend of Polanski. She did defend him in a libel suit, passionately. sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #34

Dylan, evidently, does not feel anything was resolved. The decision not to prosecute was not hers Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #38

Well, I don't know Dylan. I do know people personally who have been traumatized sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #41

I don't know Dylan and I don't need to, to understand that deep pockets of money is Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #44

If you don't know her why do you call her by her first name? I always assume sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #47

I'm suppose to call her Ms Farrow? lol. Your hostility is duly noted for wealthy abuse victims. Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #48

Well, it would falsely imply that she thought it Cha Feb 2014 #12

It would only show gollygee Feb 2014 #13

I don't know anything about that either and look forward to info. n/t Whisp Feb 2014 #2

Two simple words. blue neen Feb 2014 #3

it is cut and pasted from that shitty hit piece on Mia that so many shared a link to.... bettyellen Feb 2014 #4

It's freeperland logic, in other words. redqueen Feb 2014 #6

I can't believe, in a way, I'm defending Polanski by defending Farrow justiceischeap Feb 2014 #5

You're not, though. You're helping to correct the mendacious smearing of Mia Farrow. redqueen Feb 2014 #7

thanks for that, j Cha Feb 2014 #14

Same reason some people keep saying Woody Allen was Soon Yi's stepfather. KittyWampus Feb 2014 #9

No. One is not technically true but an understandable misstatement. redqueen Feb 2014 #10

She was 20, so not a teenager Major Nikon Feb 2014 #16

I dunno.. I saw it last night.. and thought that was Cha Feb 2014 #11

Woody's relationship to all the females in his life has seemed "abnormally intense" Generic Other Feb 2014 #24

I was struck by what the judge found to be unreliable by the Yale team, and your observations Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #26

Thank you for this, Jefferson.. Cha Feb 2014 #25

You're quite welcome, thought it was well researched vs other incomplete info out there. n/t Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #27

Polanski sued Vanity Fair over a 2002 article that claimed he was trying to seduce a young woman El_Johns Feb 2014 #15

Polanski is a no-shit convicted child molester who druged and raped a 13 yr old girl Major Nikon Feb 2014 #21

Soooo....wait a minute ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #22

I don't know how young the woman in question was supposed to be. A potential starlet. El_Johns Feb 2014 #31

Ah, I see now.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #32

Why do people keep saying marrying a younger woman is analogous to pedophilia? Bonobo Feb 2014 #17

Why do people keep saying... Jeff In Milwaukee Feb 2014 #18

Soon Yi had a father figure that wasn't Allen and considered the idea laughable Major Nikon Feb 2014 #60

Nope. Not even close. Jeff In Milwaukee Feb 2014 #62

It's partially the age difference itself Generic Other Feb 2014 #28

Married for 20 years. Bonobo Feb 2014 #29

As I stated earlier but not well Generic Other Feb 2014 #30

And I suspect that that the act of marrying Soon-Yi... Bonobo Feb 2014 #33

Nah, Allen had boundary issues and one needs to only look at the judge's opinion Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #35

I get the impression though that some seem to think it means he's innocent kcr Feb 2014 #36

Boundary issues do not make you attracted to pre-pubescents. Bonobo Feb 2014 #37

He was not able to keep boundaries, due to the nature of his urges. n/t Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #46

No. But it doesn't make it entirely unthinkable either. kcr Feb 2014 #49

"nothing to do with sleeping with underage girls" Major Nikon Feb 2014 #19

True, she only defended him regarding the libel trial, however... edbermac Feb 2014 #23

You call being subpoenaed "goi(ng) out of her way to help him"? nt redqueen Feb 2014 #39

She was subpoened? Where is that information? edbermac Feb 2014 #40

Framing of her testimony aside - it's interesting that above it is cited that records were destroyed redqueen Feb 2014 #42

Huh? I just asked where you got that info about her being subpoened. edbermac Feb 2014 #43

No, your first reply to this OP was an attempt to imply her testimony was somehow meaningful. redqueen Feb 2014 #50

That's what they do. You'll never hear about that supoena. It doesn't exist. El_Johns Feb 2014 #53

Aren't you the one running around saying.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #45

There won't be a response, for obvious reasons. El_Johns Feb 2014 #54

you have been here a month and you are all that in familiarity with behavior and posters. seabeyond Feb 2014 #57

In all fairness, she could have me on ignore ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #61

Because witnesses are subpoenaed - that's how it works. byrne Jul 2014 #63

Some of the same people say Mia has supported her molester brother, which is an outright lie. pnwmom Feb 2014 #51
