Read this and use your brain.

Thank you.

An article markedly different from the claims she made before.

No 'tv room', no 'underwear', no 'I was already up in the attic', no 'inserting his finger', no 'where the pooh comes out'.

And at odds with her nanny's sworn testimony about the 'large plastic train set for a child to sit on and ride'

The custody trial reports say Farrow had already ended her romance with Allen in 1987.

She did that when pregnant of Ronan, a child she didn't want him to bond with and later claimed he was 'possibly not his's child' (but Sinatra's).

If we believe Mia, it was SHE who cheated on a lover. Not Woody.

This face is either Nicholas Cage, or some singer in a British band in the 1980s (whose name I forgot).

Who do you think he is?

By train, Antwerpen-Breda is a shorter trip than Amsterdam-Rotterdam.

Please don't complain! Enjoy the ride.

Together, we're called 'The Netherlands' for a reason.

*Wie luf de* Belgians! Always have.

An unrequited love affair. 😅

Lasting for quite a century.

Ik denk inderdaad dat de afgelopen verkiezingen zijn gewonnen door de media.

Wij hebben in Nederland ons eigen Fox News, verspreid over diverse televisiekanalen. Minder zichtbaar, maar niet minder effectief.

Rechts zorgt goed voor zichzelf.

Bijvoorbeeld met de leugen dat 'de media links zijn'.

Bruce Springsteen siempre se ha parecido mucho a Woody Allen. La gente simplemente estaba demasiado ciega para verlo.

'Frankenstein (2025)' is shown in two Breda cinemas. I think that from Antwerp, you can make it up & down to Breda without having to stay over.

'Seefhoek' is the Antwerp quarter where illustrator Willy Vandersteen grew up.

People say that in the 17th century there used to be an inn ('herberg') that sold 'Seef bier' on the corner of the Peshofstraat and Lange Beeldekensstraat.

The beer has been revived since 2012. Is it tasty, Anne?

Here's how Woody Allen treated Mia Farrow and her daughter Dylan Farrow.

According to Mia Farrow.

And according to Mia Farrow's nannies, her housekeeper, and her two child therapists.

Here's about your 'bosta do Woody Allen'.

Can you do better?
October 21, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Unless you use your brain, and you discover that Mia Farrow's claims about him are obvious lies that no one should be forced to 'believe'.
October 21, 2025 at 8:46 PM
As for 'Woody as a person', this is what the 'intimates' in his life, i.e. his ex-lovers and his wife have said about him.

Including Diane Keaton.

Including Soon-Yi Previn.

Yes, including Mia Farrow.

And oh, I've also included his two adult daughters Bechet and Manzie, for good measure.
October 15, 2025 at 12:50 PM
And here's why.
October 15, 2025 at 12:38 PM
Chances are you detest Woody Allen because you believe Mia Farrow's lies about him.

I recommend against that.
October 15, 2025 at 12:23 PM
Here's a few recommendations.
October 15, 2025 at 12:21 PM
Diane Keaton would have wanted you to consider the movies she made with Woody Allen.

If you reject Woody Allen, you reject Diane Keaton's personal stance on him, and you ignore an important part of her work.

Diane she has known, and cherished Woody Allen intimately for over half a century.
October 15, 2025 at 12:19 PM
Diane would fiercely disagree with your statement, and she would hate you for making it over her dead body.

In the 1970s various celebrities (actors, rock stars) dated teenagers. Even at that time, it was frowned upon.

'Manhattan' obviously portrays such relationship as a *problem*, not a happy-ending 'romance'.

Compare that to today's 'Call Me By Your Name' or 'Licorice Pizza'. Portrayed as 'romances'.
October 15, 2025 at 12:08 AM
I believe Mariel herself over what some 'Vanity Fair' editor likes to make of her.

Mariel has explicitly DENIED that Woody was creepy to her. On the contrary, she says he came and acted like a friend. They have remained on good terms ever since.
October 14, 2025 at 11:49 PM
Lying again, are we?

Keaton met Woody Allen when she auditioned for a role in 'Play it again, Sam' (1972). She was 25 at the time. Woody was 36.

I like facts. You appear to hate them, and like to distort them.
October 14, 2025 at 11:34 PM
You only demonstrate your lack of knowledge about the case.

NO credible evidence was found. FOUR child abuse expert instances. ALL working in Dylan Farrow's best interest, REJECTED the 'abuse' allegation for a lack of credible evidence.

The prosecutor gave THAT as the main reason to NOT prosecute.
October 14, 2025 at 11:30 PM
In 1987, Mia had withdrawn from Woody as her lover. She did that while pregnant of Ronan, a child Mia would later admit is 'possibly not Woody's' (but Sinatra's).

If we believe Mia, it is *she* who cheated on a lover (and lied to him about 'his son').

Certainly not Woody *four years later*.
