The only "allegations of bad behaviour" have been from an ex, who was totally humiliated at being dumped for a younger woman. Sadly, Mia didn't have any problem breaking-up the Previn's marriage when she was "the younger woman".
"Slightly vague on sexual matters"? Saying that she thought Allen "had a crush on her" when she was 18 is not exactly evidence of anything remotely close to "sexual matters". Did Hemingway accuse Allen of anything sexual? No, she didn't.
Look, it's simple. The term "once a pedophile, always a pedophile" is all over this thread. And yet there has never been a hint of scandal about Allen being attracted to children. Are we supposed to believe that he's "always been a pedophile" and not a single person has ever so much as hinted at that being the case?
Woody Allen has worked with thousands of people over his long career. Funny that not a single one of them have ever even hinted that he has a predilection for female children. Even at the height of his battle with Farrow over her allegations, not a single person has come forward to say, "Well, now that you mention it, I did notice ..."
I doubt that the "always a pedophile" could have managed to keep his pedophilia a secret for decades, both before he was with Farrow and all the many years after.
