Huge creep factor to him - not sure why. His movies are pretentious and weird too.

Hi,
He has a major creep factor for me too after what happened with him marrying the kid.

I'm not sure about revenge or any of that, and interesting Farrow uses the word "possibly".

It seemed just beyond the pale to me. One day he's the girl's dad and then he's seducing her?

I really doubt if this is news to anyone who knows the family, but if it knocks Woody off his high horse I'm all for it.

Of course, everyone close to them knew the truth but now the general public knows.

I hope he feels the burn. He deserves it...

He was a total shit to deceive Mia with his step daughter. He should not have the adulation that many critics just shower him with. He needs to be called out.

I'm glad Mia did this.

And yes Woody is weird and creepy, but I love his movies!!

I don't understand why disapproval about his private love life, who he chooses to love and marry, should affect the way we see and consider his art. I think he's a national treasure as a great filmmaker.

And on the subject of Andre Previn, what a phenomenal musician. He's one of the greatest jazz pianists and classical pianists. I know of no one else quite so accomplished in both genres. Prolific classical composer, 4 time Academy Award winner, 10 time Grammy winner, Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Symphony, Los Angeles Symphony, the man is a monster musician, one of the greatest of our age.

So it turns out that she is a hypocrite and she cheated first. With a man old enough to be her father. What exactly was her problem with Mr. Allen's eventual wife?

young and headstrong? I know I could have made better choices!). But no way that compares to Woody seducing his stepdaughter. I see a bright line there that should never be crossed by a man of Woody's age and given his responsibility as a stepfather.

by revealing that she was cheating on him, she seems to be saying he wasn't "man enough" for her...I know it sounds perverse, but that is the way people get. Maybe his statement "the heart wants what the heart wants" made her sick so she wanted to get in a dig...
