Dylan Farrow: I Want to Take Down Woody Allen!
Years ago, Dylan Farrow spoke out against Woody Allen, accusing him of sexual abuse. He continues to churn out his creepy movies about old men and young women.
We don"t know if the #MeToo momentum is enough to spell Time"s Up for Woody Allen, but Dylan Farrow is speaking out again, on CBS This Morning.
In the teaser video for the interview below, Dylan Farrow responds to questions of why she wants to bring down Woody Allen … and why you should believe her.
Nearly four years ago, in a haunting essay, Dylan Farrow accused Woody Allen of molesting her as a child.
I still remember reading it. The grim details of her experience as a 7-year-old isn"t something that you easily forget. But you might want to.
We"re sure that she wishes that she could forget.
Woody Allen was her adoptive father. He has always denied the allegations, calling them "disgraceful" and "untrue," to no one"s surprise.
Child abuse on its own sort of maxes out any awfulness scale, but if it were possible for it to get worse, it would be child abuse committed by a parent.
From the moment that the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment story broke at the beginning of October 2017, many women realized that there had been just enough of a cultural shift for them to name the sex monsters who walked among them.
All of these women have faced backlash in one form or another, but now the world knows the names of dozens of men with whom no one should ever have to be alone on an elevator.
But all along, people listening to these stories have wondered — when will Woody Allen"s time finally be up?
He hasn"t been named by one of 2017 or 2018"s #MeToo stories. Dylan Farrow called him out in 2014. it"s not a secret.
And yet not only has he faced zero legal consequences, but he"s still free. He has a career. He wins awards. Actresses who should know better, like Selena Gomez, still work with Woody Allen.
Woody Allen gets trashed by people like Ellen Pompeo, but he also gets defended by celebs like Alec Baldwin.
But Dylan Farrow isn"t remaining silent, and she went on CBS This Morning to speak about Woody Allen.
Gayle King mentions that people have suggested that Dylan is simply out to get or bring down Woody Allen.
Dylan replies:
"Why shouldn"t I want to bring him down? Why shouldn"t I be angry? Why shouldn"t I be hurt?"
That"s such a good reply. Our culture has a toxic craving for people who forgive the people who ruined their lives. It"s not healthy.
Forgive somebody who took your car, not your childhood.
"Why shouldn"t I feel some sort of outrage that, after all of these years of being ignored and disbelieved and tossed aside. …"
Gayle King then asks why people should believe her, since so much time has passed.
"I suppose [whether people believe me is] on them."
She"s right. Dylan has spoken
"But all I can do is speak my truth and hope."
(The my/your truth line is a pet peeve of mine, but many people feel like it"s less confrontational than saying the truth)
"Hope that somebody will believe me instead of just hearing me."
It"s difficult to think of a conceivable motive to make Dylan Farrow lie about this.
Speaking out has earned her her hate from diehard Woody Allen fans and stigma from people who believe that her childhood trauma makes her "damaged goods."
False accusations of sexual assault do happen, to be clear. I believe that the statistic is somewhere around 0.04% of the time?
We are very interested in what Dylan Farrow has to say about how her father continues to be accepted and defended in Hollywood, despite her allegations.
Here is the teaser video of her interview:

Selena Gomez: Thrown Under the Bus by Mom Over Woody Allen Role
Sometimes, your fave does something problematic. Defending them can get tiring. You start to question whether they’re still a problematic fave or if you’ve stopped being a fan.
But as draining as that can be for fans, it has to be exhausting for friends and family. And it sure seems like Mandy Teefey is tired of going to bat for her daughter, Selena Gomez.
When fans asked Mandy on instagram about Selena’s controversial involvement with acused child-molester Woody Allen, Mandy … threw Selena under the bus.
Despite efforts by Selena and her mom to quash feud rumors, it’s clear that there’s been tension between the singer and her mother.
One major factor, of course, and probably the reason that we’re all talking about this, is Justin Bieber.
See, Justin’s not just content to ruin his body — he and Selena are now back together. And her mother is … not taking it well. Based on what a poorly behaved little trash boy Justin used to be, we get it.
While some of the rumors about their disagreements have been absurd, Mandy Teefey did wind up at the hospital because she got so upset about Jelena’s revival.
They also have older conflicts. Reportedly, when Selena dropped her mom as her manager back in 2014, it created a serious rift, though Mandy denies that it’s an issue.
Until now, though, we didn’t realize that yet another point of disagreement between mother and daughter was over Woody Allen.
Recently, Ellen Pompeo ruthlessly slammed Woody Allen and the stars who work with him.
It’s not difficult to figure out why.
Several years ago, Ronan Farrow revealed that Woody Allen had molested her as a child.
She describes a harrowing incident when she was 7 years old. Woody Allen has always denied the accusations, but they’re pretty well-known.
Also he married a much younger woman whom he also raised for years. Many feel that he effectively married his daughter.
Despite that, inexcusably, multiple actors who should know better have worked with Woody Allen.
And, recently, Selena Gomez stuck a dagger in the collective hearts of her fans by becoming one of them.
Several fans wrote comments under Mandy Teefey’s Instagram, imploring her to “make” Selena apologize for working with Woody Allen and/or sever all ties with the accused child-molester.
With these requests came a confession that a number of selenators are fatigued from having to defend Selena for something that they don’t consider very defensible.
Sure, some assumed that maybe Selena wasn’t fully aware of Woody Allen’s reputation (celebrities exist in a bubble, after all)
A couple of fans wrote similar messages (managing to misspell Woody Allen’s name in different ways, but frankly, that’s the least of what he deserves).
And Mandy Teefey decided to reply.
Selena Gomez’s mom wrote back:
“Sorry, No one can make Selena do anything she doesn’t want to.”
In another context, that might have been intended as a compliment. In this case … it was not.
“I had a long talk with her about not working with him and it didn’t click.”
She also wanted to shut down accusations that Selena’s PR team doesn’t do her any good.
“Her team are amazing people. There is no fall person here.”
One of the downsides of always being in charge is that the blame for your choices falls at your feet.
Mandy Teefey continues:
“No one controls her. She makes all her own decisions.”
That’s one of the pitfalls of being an adult. You make your own decisions — and your own mistakes.
“No matter how hard you try to advise. It falls on deaf ears.”
That is … truly disappointing. You always want to believe that someone had just been misinformed.
Based upon this, it sounds like Selena cares more about her film career than she does about right and wrong.
A lot of selenators are crushed by this, but … it’s good to know.

Ellen Pompeo Slams "Fool" Woody Allen on Twitter!
You know how some celebrities always look the same in photos? Woody Allen’s one of those. He tends to look bewildered.
And bewildered is how many feel every time that they see Woody Allen out and about instead of, you know, rotting in a jail cell.
Ellen Pompeo is courageously speaking out and slamming Woody Allen. Honestly? “Fool” is, relatively speaking, one of the nicest thing’s Allen’s ever been called.
Ellen Pompeo quoted a HelloGiggles (love that site) tweet that read:
“A journalist went through Woody Allen’s personal journals and found he was obsessed with teenage girls.”
Pompeo quoted that tweet with, well, what we were all thinking:
“I haven’t gone through his personal journals and I knew that… shocked the people that work with this man #ambition is [blind].”
And that was only the beginning of what she had to say.
When someone in a now-deleted tweet apparently tried to suggest that Woody Allen had “made mistakes” in the past (that’s what we infer that they said,” Pompeo replied:
“I don’t call it a mistake… he married his daughter…people see what they want to see or don’t…Kind of hard not to see who this fool is.”
Like we said — “fool” is pretty much the nicest word for Woody Allen, considering the damning accusations that he molested Dylan Farrow as a child. Also he married his daughter, Soon-Yi.
But Ellen Pompeo was just getting started
Ellen Pompeo continued by targeting Woody Allen’s alleged racism, tweeting:
“And while we’re on the subject & I’m fired up has this fool ever put one poc in any of his movies ever?” and “What about Hispanic or Asian actors? Or are asians only for him to molest? You know me when I get started.”
Woody Allen’s casting tends to be about as white as snow on a golf course, but one follower pointed out that Penelope Cruz won an Oscar for her role in one of his films.
Pompeo acknowledged this, but notes that she genuinely doesn’t know about who’s in his films, because:
“I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch that bougie s–t.”
Honestly, it’s always nice to see Ellen Pompeo go off.
One tweeter mentioned to Ellen Pompeo that some people try to “separate the professional from the person.”
You know, like going to Chick-fil-A despite their politics, or seeing a Johnny Depp film despite the abuse allegations, or seeing a film by Brett Ratner or Roman Polanski or Brian Singer or … well, there are way too many names.
Ellen replied: “You know what I call that?? Ducking predators and chasing trophies…it’s WEAK AF.”
Ellen went on to talk about how, too often, black women’s voices are ignored when they accuse a man of sexual predation.
She cites the many accusations against Bill Cosby, the first of which were ignored for years and years and years before soem famous white women spoke out.
And, in the mean time, famous actresses who should know better — actresses whom I admire, like Selena Gomez and Blake Lively — continue to work with Woody Allen.
It takes people like Ellen Pompeo using their platforms to keep momentum going.
Woody Allen has not had his Weinstein moment yet. While many people eagerly await the day that Woody Allen is no longer among the living, it’s their hope that he’ll die in prison rather in the comfort of his home.
He’s 82-years-old and those who want to see him brought to justice and publicly disgraced know that the clock is ticking.
Now is the perfect time to talk about this. Even the Golden Globes, with Oprah’s epic speech and Debra Messing taking a stand for pay equality, had its flaws.
James Franco, accused of having an inappropriate interest in underage teen girls, won for The Disaster Artist last night. And accused wife-beater Gary Oldman won Best Actor.
Society has a long, long way to go.
But even among other controversial and despised figures who still roam free, Woody Allen continues to stick out like a sore thumb.

The Flash Season 4 Episode 1: Barry Allen, Is That You?
Just because Barry has been in the Speed Force prison for six months, it does not mean that the team has not been able to function.
When The Flash Season 4 Episode 1 got underway, we got the revelation that Iris has become a reliable leader on the team as she has been making sure everything is moving smoothly.
Wally and Cisco have been keeping the mean streets of Central City safe, but they were no match for the armored samurai who demanded a fight with the Flash.
With the scarlet speedster nowhere near town, and very much out of the loop, the team fretted when the samurai villain claimed he would destroy Central City if he did not get to fight the fastest man alive.
Cisco was quick to reveal that he had been working on the way to allow Barry to make a return to the city. The reason he kept quiet about it was that there was a huge possibility it could go wrong.
When does anything ever go right for anyone on these superhero shows? The biggest shocker was that Iris told the team to focus on other ways to make sure the city was safe.
It was clear she was taking what Barry said to her about moving on with her life in his absence. But that was not enough to stop Cisco from bringing his friend home.
Cisco turned to Caitlin who was no longer working in the world of science and found herself bartending in the dirtiest bar around. It did not take long for her to join Cisco’s cause.
When it came to bringing Barry back, the group thought the machine was broken, but Barry returned to town via a portal in another part of town.
Iris immediately flipped out at them for going ahead and carrying out the mission even though she explicitly asked them to find another way. But, a phone call about Barry being found stops the bickering.
But the man who has returned is not exactly the Barry who left. In fact, this new iteration has some major issues and does not seem to know his left from his right.
When everything seemed to be working against the team, Iris thought it would be a good idea to hand herself over to the villain, and it worked. Barry raced to her side in order to ensure no harm came to her.
Barry returned to the loft with Iris, and the pair quickly spoke about how much they loved each other, and Barry seemed to think that everything that was wrong is gone, claiming they can move on.
In a last-minute twist, The Mechanic called her boss to let him know the speedster was back in Central City, and we got our first glimpse at The Thinker, who will be the big villain on The Flash Season 4.
What a conclusion, you guys! What did you think of the episode?
Sound off below!
