Here are some photos from last night’s Paris premiere of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Most of the photos are of Scarlett Johansson, because I guess Chris Evans isn’t that big in France. But the French love ScarJo, because she’s knocked up with a half-French beh-beh. Scarlett wore this Michael Kors suit which is… surprisingly flattering. Right? This is the slimmest she’s looked in a long time. It’s like she’s just carrying the baby in her boobs and the rest of her body is perfectly slender. That being said, I’m not wild about the suit. It just feels… I don’t know, early 90s. Like, vintage Versace. Also: Bedhead pointed out that “Sodastream” seems to be one of the sponsors of this Parisian premiere. Interesting.
Meanwhile, Scarlett still seems to be promoting her funky Under the Skin movie simultaneously with The Winter Soldier. The Guardian interview (which we discussed yesterday) was done mostly in support of her bizarre alien drama, and now there’s a new high-brow interview too – ScarJo sat down with The New Yorker. You can read the full piece here (it’s really long and overwritten), and here are the two parts about Woody Allen and SodaStream:
The Woody Allen section: “Shooting that movie [Vicky Christina Barcelona] was such a huge event in Barcelona at that time that you would get to the set, and there would be literally two thousand people standing behind the camera,” Johansson recalls. “So it was mostly just a mental exercise in finding peace of mind, and the stillness.” And how was the filmmaker, when all this was going on? “Woody was ‘They love you! Turn and wave!,’ and I was, like, I hate you so much right now.” She is a loyal fan; they also made “Match Point” and “Scoop” together. Would she work with him again, in the wake of recent events? “I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t,” she replies.
The SodaStream section: Step back a little, and the whole [SodaStream] farrago acquires a comic flavor, and Johansson sounds plausibly dumbfounded by her time at the heart of the storm: “I think I was put into a position that was way larger than anything I could possibly—I mean, this is an issue that is much bigger than something I could just be dropped into the middle of.” The only folk who relished the affair, I guess, were the board of Moët & Chandon, who could have told her, holding their noses, to stay away from inferior fizz.
Wow, ScarJo really doesn’t care about anything having to do with Dylan Farrow, right? “I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t” work with Woody? O RLY? That’s pretty bold – it’s like she’s throwing down the pro-Woody gauntlet, not even caring about paying lip service to the sensitivity of the issue. I’m debating whether or not Scarlett seems stupidly short-sighted or whether she just seems like she has brass balls.

Wow, she really needs to shut the f*ck up. Once you get a pass, twice and you’re a f*cking idiot.
She just won’t stop talking.
she’s doubling down on her stupid…
^ this.
This x1000. But at least now we know who this girl is and what she’s made of. Dear Scarlett, I don’t see why ANYONE would pay to see one more of your movies. I certainly won’t. You’re not a good actress to begin with and maybe then we wouldn’t have to hear any more of your insensitive, soulless drivel.
Yup.
I think at this point it’s trips for the win.
Now I get it. She was born without a soul.
Now I’m picturing an update of The Wizard of Oz with her singing “If I Only Had a Soul”. She could be accompanied by Kim Kardashian in search of class and Lady Gaga looking for her lost dignity.
I didn’t know she was a redhead o.O
@Jay ROFL!!!!
“Lady Gaga looking for her lost dignity” 😀 😀
She was also born without a brain…..
Just coincidence her news are beside Katy Perry’s? Lol
This. She is incredibly stupid. A few years ago she offended one whole country where she did some movie and stated they didn’t have any history or she didn’t see anything historical there, or similar.
@Ronia
When she came to Scotland for her scifi movie she was able to anger two whole villages…. Nobody could stand her. Self entitled dumbass.
@Hiddles forever
No wonder.
This bitch. I would understand not wanting to talk about this, but have some f—ing class! Realize that this issue, like the soda stream bs she keeps repeating, IS MUCH BIGGER THAN YOU! Defending a guy with so much fire around him has turned me off to her completely. F— her, I will never pay to see anything she is in. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
BDS – Boycott Dumbass Scarlett
Yep, BDS for me too!
I apologize for my ironically non-classy way of saying she’s an unclassy dumb bitch, I just can’t believe that for a WOMAN who everyone props up as being some level of intellectual would be so vicious and so callous and so uncaring in her remarks about a topic that so many women face. It’s disgusting. I’ve never been thru what Dylan has experienced, but I can, at the very least, understand that she was traumatized and can be sympathetic to her without being insulting to woody. But to insult a victim when the guy has so many signals that he’s done *something* is so cruel.
She is an unclassy dumb bitch, so no need to apologize! I for one will never understand how she’s made out to be some kind of intellectual, because she’s an idiot. She’s beautiful, but all I see when look at her now is ugliness. Not only does she lack an education, she has zero empathy for others. It’s why I said a while ago that I’m surprised she’s even having a kid. She’s selfish and it has always been about her (which is why her marriage failed).
Why must you apologize when her comments are so heartless, idiotic, and inflammatory? She should just shut the heck up. The more she talks, the more repugnant she reveals herself to be. I agree with every word you said and it will be a cold day in hell before I waste my time or money on any project she’s involved with.
It’s not like she singing Allen’s praises unprovoked. These are two excerpts from a 5,500 word story where she is pretty much asked about her entire filmography. She answered a question consistent with the way she’s been answering this question all long.
And the way she answers this question is completely self-serving – why wouldn’t anybody work with Allen? Because he is very likely a pedophile, a liar, a master manipulator and a coward. Suspicion alone is enough reason not to support him. The only reason anybody would work with him is to boost their career, so what she’s really saying is since he hasn’t been dragged through a trial and convicted, that as long as it benefits her, she will continue to work with him. Even admitting he is definitely suspect would mean she sold her soul.
Hear, hear.
I’ve said for years what a dumb bitch she is. If the shoe fits…
Yes!
Oh my gosh yes, couldn’t have said it better myself. That one comment has turned me right into a non-fan. It’s hard to say how many people are going the same way…she better just shut up. She’s an actor…not an attorney, shut up, act and move on……if I wanted your opinion, I would have asked for it. Dumba$$.
I agree with Kaiser. She is stupidly short-sighted. Heavy on the stupid. If it ain’t what she sees when she looks in the mirror, it doesn’t matter to her. I mean, nobody expected her to be Einstein but really??! Her publicist needs to shorten her leash.
To be fair, all the quotes are from the same interview. She really needs to shut it about Allen from this point. Cate handled the situation as well as anyone could.
On a catty note, Scarlett has the body type that will never come back after pregnancy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, unless you’re a woman whose career is based solely on looks.
OMG, you are genious at throwing shade.. 😉
Pretty girl but not very bright…smh
thank you someone needed to just say it that bluntly. i am frankly disgusted with anyone who still works with Allen ESPECIALLY after Dylan’s horrendous recounts. :/
Her bread is buttered with Woody, Dylan isn’t gonna be paying any bills. She should have just shut it like Alec or Cate, who inevitably didn’t engage or take sides in the issue; but they have a lot more talent and options in roles.
woody doesn´t pay anything more than the regular wages determined by the SAG.
it´s more an ego thing considering she was his “muse” for a while.
Yes Woody pays low but working with Woody gets you Oscar nominations and wins. That brings your pay rate way high and gets you lots of movie roles. So in that way he does butter the bread of many actresses.They will keep working with him because their career is more important to them than any social issue.
Yes. Maybe it hurt to see Woody move on to other starlets and better actors. She may see this as her opportunity to get back in his good graces. She’s still waiting for him to “write her Citizen Kane” after all. She really seems to be her stage mother’s daughter. Cold and calculating.
If it wasn’t for pedophile Woody Allen, Scarlett would likely not have the career she has today. She wasn’t even on anyone’s radar until Allen made her his muse. She’s way overhyped and Allen foisted her on us movie after movie. She owes him a lot and even if he is a pedophile won’t change how she feels about him. She clearly doesn’t have the moral fiber to turn a good paycheck down regardless of what that person or company stands for. Can’t stand her.
@ kiddo: well said
“but they have a lot more talent and options in roles. ” They may get roles, but I guarantee they are losing viewers. Think she would allow a potential daughter to star in one of his films?
more like she seems like an asshole.
yes, that’s it! Meh, I always thought she wasn’t that much of a good actress, but what a disappointment, she also seems to be a horrible human being!
+1
yep
Wow. I really don’t know what to say. I guess you get it or you don’t. What an insensitive, vicious cow.
While I don’t like comparing people to animals in a negative way I agree she’s insensitive.
Woody is not the only one in Hollywood she needs to suck up to for work. And the way she’s blindly attacking and dismissing someone who at the very least believes something traumatising happened to her by a father figure is sick.
If she keeps talking there will be backlash. Not so much for woody, but from survivors of childhood assault. Her apology will be amusing.
My apologies to cows.
@GoodNamesAllTaken
Cows’ spokeperson just informed me they are all offended by your remark. They don’t like being compared to Scarlet Johansson, it is insulting. They still have a soul 😉
Hah!
The association of poor qualities goes both ways. Cows do not like being compared to ScarJo.
I should not have used the word cow for all of the reasons you have named. I’ll just change it to “she is vicious and insensitive.” How’s that?
@GoodNamesAllTaken
Cows’ spokeperson said they are fine with your apology. Just this time though. They feel they are smarter than Johansson. Impossible to say they are wrong 😀
From my experience, cows are inoffensive but unreflective beings (and yes, I have herded them, so I know). And Scarjo is offensive and unreflective. Cows may be offended at the comparison but they will let it go as soon as they see some fresh grass.
Lol, thank you.
I grew up on a cattle farm, there are cows that are actually quite sweet and gentle :). And then you get the one where you pray you just run faster than her after she chases you for going to close to her calf lol.
She’s not that bright; she doesn’t have much of an education, she doesn’t seem to have a curious mind and to have pursued the path of an autodidact, etc.
She’s not doing herself any favors with these interviews- I personally liked her “re-emergence” in the last few years, but these tone deaf comments are turning me off of her.
This is very well said. I don’t think she’s mean spirited, I think she’s incurious. She’s not someone whose thoughts I wish to hear.
One of the well-known perils of being surrounded by professional ass kissers from an early age.
I wrote this yesterday and was attacked by a rabid Scarlett fan in the thread for ‘not knowing her’ but Scarlett’s statements truly speak for themselves. I think she is mean-spirited and a bad person.
Completely agree, and stupid to boot.
Agreed on both points. Reading her quote is infuriating and I’m not even a victim like Dylan. The vicious callousness is alarming.
I’ve always felt she was a crappy human. I’ve been attacked for it before too, it’s a nice club to be in though. We’re friendly.
Room for me in your club?
Can I sign up for membership, too? I have never liked her, never found her to be enthralling or captivating or interesting, and certainly never thought she was very bright at all. She’s like the human equivalent of cream of wheat for me. Apologies to cream of wheat, but I find it boring and bland and really not any fun to talk to… much like how I imagine this actress. Just… vapid. Dense. BOVINE.
If you don’t believe Dylan, and you do believe Woody, why wouldn’t you work with him again? I don’t believe her, and I do think that Mia planted much of this in her mind, so why would I turn my back on somebody I consider a friend?
If people would like her to shun him simply because somebody made an accusation, then that’s just simple minded.
I was reading that Mia didn’t report it- a physician did. I am not standing up for Mia in any way, I don’t like her. I do believe Dylan though. Her account hasn’t changed, her behavior is in line with that of a victim, Woody acts the quintessential offender, and the judge’s opinion holds a lot of weight with me. Woody was already in counselling for inappropriate behavior and Mia was criticized for not leaving him when he was such a clear threat to the kids. He has shown his lack of boundaries; look who he married!
ScarJo needs to take a hike.
The man married his daughter!!! He had naked pictures of his other daughter as a teenager before he married her. If this was a black man, living in detroit and this story hit the papers everrrrrryone would be all over it- calling for justice. But they arent, they “debate” it, as if there is nothing odd about the fact that he married one daughter and the other says she was molested. WTF? I understand he was never convicted or tried for a crime, and because of that we cant say hes a pedophile . But at least look at the situation- Victims of abuse dont lie about it for decades- What is in it for her?? Shes a grown woman, this isnt about her mommy planting ideas in her head. Why would her mother need to plant anything- her husband left her for a teenage daughter! This woman says it happened, there are odd facts that surroun her statements- ie- he married a daughter. At the very least you should question this mans behavior. If he was a pediatrician and not big time hollywood player would you send your child to him? Or would you say, Hmm, sounds like a Pedophile ,
What does skin color have to do with it?
Allen being famous gets him a free pass, much like it gets R. Kelly a free pass. It’s called “Hollywood justice” as in, there is none.
Don’t believe me? Read the Village Voice piece about Kelly, who is the definition of a pedo:
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2013/12/read_the_stomac.php
He did not marry his daughter. Even Mia has admitted that Woody never acted as a father figure to her; she had a father already. He didn’t even live in the house.
Calling her a victim of abuse presupposes that it actually happened. And yes, people do lie about being victims all the time. The old belief that children don’t lie about abuse is simply untrue, sometimes because they simply lie, sometimes because they’re telling the people they love what they think those people want to hear, and sometimes they’re led by people they trust.
The point is that nobody except two people actually knows what happened and we’re not those people. Acting like you’re sure, based on the start of his almost 20 year marriage, is really not a lot.
@RobN
I have no inside track to the truth in re Dylan, but Allen participated in destroying a family unit by initiating and/or maintaining a secret sexual relationship with the sister of his assumed biological child, the sister of his adopted child and the daughter of his long-term girlfriend, who he was committed enough to, to adopt children with. That isn’t a casual relationship. It’s not benign behavior, no matter how hard people try to frame it in terms of a battle between frigid puritanical values and the highly evolved sexually liberated. It was a secret because he knew it crossed boundaries. It doesn’t matter how long it lasted, there is a past that was highly toxic, and he was complicit in its origins. He isn’t an innocent bystander of cascading events. There was an abuse of trust, boundaries and simple common decency within a family structure. In fact, the whole drama is akin to a Maury show, where people usually have no compunctions about calling actors like this ‘white trash’. He blames his behavior in this time period on everyone else and owns none of it. The Dylan accusation aside, I still find him a shallow, self-serving individual.
RobN: Yes, people do lie about being victims, children or no, but it’s usually pretty easy to catch them in their lies. A lot of people corroborated Dylan’s account, so it’s not just ‘he said she said’ here. And again. It doesn’t matter if Soon-Yi was his daughter or not. She was a teenage girl when they started their affair, and she was the daughter of a long term girlfriend that he had adopted children with. Regardless of whether or not he was ACTUALLY Soon-Yi’s father, he should NEVER have viewed her as a lover and this shows a history of sick and wrong behavior by him. Does Dylan have a similar history of being a liar?
It’s interesting how she whined about it being irresponsible that she was mentioned (Google alert hurt her feels y’all) yet keeps on talking about Allen in a positive manner and throwing Dylan under the bus. Maybe stop talking or get better PR advice and the issue will go away naturally (as it usually does).
It’s all ‘me me me’ and defending Allen; not an ounce of even empathy for the victim or even thinking about the wider issue of victim-blaming and abuse. Nope, she’s completely unaware on how this issue affects more people than Allen and his Hollywood apologists/friends. Ain’t nobody got time for your stupid ass selfish thoughts Scarjo.
If she wants to keep on working with Allen and kissing his nasty ass then fine, but don’t come moaning when people question your motives. Celebs always want to cherry pick their battles, it’s great to see how dumb she really is when she’s put under pressure. She’s insensitive and greedy.
Also does this mean she just admitted that she has a google alert for herself. Haha Lame
+1!
I don’t begrudge anyone from making a living, but if they have a choice and they choose to work with the people she’s chosen to work with, they’ve willingly inserted themselves into the controversy. No one has done it to them. They’re not victims. It doesn’t mean they are bad people or guilty of crimes, either, but they can’t expect to only receive the benefits of the association, and how they choose to respond to any ensuing controversy will speak volumes about their character.
Trashing a respected humanitarian organisation like Oxfam with false accusations while defending Soda Stream by quoting their company line word-for-word. Acting downright dismissive towards Dylan’s pain while focusing on her google alerts. Both situations are treacherous terrain to navigate, but a sensitive person with access to qualified advisors would have attempted to address the matters without adding more salt to the wounds, or opted to leave it alone if they felt that wasn’t possible. But it seems like she was too focused on herself to be bothered.
@se:
But hey, actors ‘don’t pay attention to gossip’ and they are ‘thick skinned’. Yeah right, they always give their true feelings away somehow.
@ mercy
Omg your last paragraph is golden and summarizes everything! Especially:
Trashing a respected humanitarian organisation like Oxfam with false accusations while defending Soda Stream by quoting their company line word-for-word. Acting downright dismissive towards Dylan’s pain while focusing on her google alerts.
Like how quickly she turns to defend her greed, not even human pain can stop her from focusing on herself!? I really can’t with this woman. To show it so blatantly and casual! Then again, if you see the mild reactions or defensive posts of some people…celebs just know there is a large audience for ignorant crap and they will be forgiven.
@RobN
The point is that nobody except two people actually knows what happened and we’re not those people.
Yet you claim Dylan is lying. Interesting. I suggest you do a little research, besides propaganda coming from Woody Allen and his lawyer. At the time of the alleged assault, Woody Allen was in therapy for inappropriate sexual feeling towards Dylan. This is by his own admission. He was not allowed to be alone with her. The two of them disappeared for 15 minutes on the day in question, and afterwards, Dylan’s babysitter discovered that she was not wearing any underpants. Woody Allen refused to take a lie detector test unless it was performed by his own person. The judge in the custody case said Dylan was in danger and needed to be protected. Mia Farrow’s mother and sister, plus several babysitters testified that Woody Allen was inappropriate with Dylan, putting his head in her lap when she was just in underpants, with his face turned toward her stomach and seeming in a trance, sucking her fingers and asking her to suck his, getting in bed with her in his underwear – all things that could be innocent, but all of these people found creepy. Do you think Mia planted ideas in their heads, too? Then Allen goes on to his lovely marriage that you describe as so very proper, failing to mention that he took nude pictures of this girl, more than half his age, before she was 18. So you just crawl back under your rock with your buddy and keep believing his ridiculous story. Just remember that he has two little girls. I hope Mia doesn’t plant ideas into their heads, as well. I’m sure if they came forward, you would call them liars, too.
Thank you, Goodnamesalltaken! My thoughts almost exactly, the only difference being that your phrasing was more articulate. I hope Kiddo reads this.
Thanks, SunnySide. It was RobN who said he/she didn’t believe Dylan, though, not Kiddo. It gets confusing with all these posts.
Thanks, @GoodNamesAllTaken,, You always seem to have my back. 🙂
@Kiddo
You betcha
As a mother through adoption and biology, my sons are as bonded as if the same blood ran through their veins.
Even if Woody was not a father figure to Soon-Yi, he was the father of her siblings when she was a child.
He was her mother’s partner when Soon-Yi was a child.
He was fathering children with Soon-Yi’s mother when she was a child.
Even though Mia and Woody kept separate homes, he was a parent to Soon-Yi’s siblings, which means he held power and authority over children in that household while she was growing up.
Her age alone made her vulnerable during their early knowledge of one another, for surely Soon-Yi and Woody must have crossed paths when he was co-parenting children with Mia?
Taking nude photos of your children’s sibling, your girlfriend’s teenage daughter, while you are still dating her mother? Maybe that’s legal, depending on her age at the time.
But it certainly shows his willingness to cross major ethical, moral boundaries with a teenager in his children’s family who does not have the enormous power, authority, experience or influence he does.
As Ronan Farrow said, she’s my sister and my stepmother? How messed up is that?
Exactly. Thank you.
Is she still talking??? I’ve never had a reason to dislike her but this starts, seals and completes the deal for me. Jerk.
Count me in. I’ve been meh on her for years but this does seal the deal. She’s incredibly dumb and shallow.
Yes, I agree.
I couldn’t be bothered to have an opinion on this person previously, but I sure have one now!
Yup with you on this. Dumb.
The thing is…everyone keeps calling her “dumb”, but I’ve seen her in enough interviews to know that she is not unintelligent by any stretch of the imagination. If she was just stupid then I could excuse this, but she’s a smart woman who is simply unapologetic about how self-involved, audacious and very, very callous she is. That’s just not something I can overlook because it takes a level of extreme arrogance and entitlement to act this selfish.
I’ve read and seen enough interviews with her to know she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed when she’s left to her own devices. She should stick to quoting people smarter than her and reading lines written for her. She may sound pretentious and phony at times, but it’s better than sounding callous and clueless.
@TheOriginalKitten, How about a self-centered/focused mercenary? She may have some form of intelligence, but may be lacking in emotional intelligence, and isn’t tuned into others enough to know that she translates as vapid? I think, however, that this interview is highly calculated because she is going out of her way to support Allen, so that she will be a darling of another film. On the other hand, if she puts off enough people, she could risk actually being a liability for one of his films.
She is not smart. She tries to sound smart by using pretentious words. I’ve seen interviews of her where all she is doing is quoting what she read in the news. If interviewers actually had the balls to question her further, she would not be able to go into any kind of depth on the things she is supposedly so knowledgeable about.
She’s not dumb but she likes to portray herself as far more intellectual than she is, and that’s how she gets caught up in messes like this. If she would stick to what she knows she would be fine.
Guys-she’s savvy and intelligent enough to put her career ahead of basic empathy.
@Kiddo and Marie-I agree with you two.
Being a heartless person makes one savvy and intelligent? Okay then.
Defending Woody Allen while promoting someone else’s movie seems like a dumb move to me.
She’s always come across to me as a dumb girl trying to sound smart. I felt so bad for Obama when she became one of his biggest supporters because I think he could do much better-and I don’t even care for Obama.
I could really care less what comes out of her mouth. She proved that she was a walking Barbie doll (by consistently and stupidly trying to prove that she wasn’t) ions ago.
I D I O T
She’s not known for being the nicest girl on the block especially to other women. Not surprised that she won’t even consider the alleged victim’s point of view for a moment.
Enough, Scarlett. You made a choice, one that lots of other actors have made as well. Stand behind it if you want to. But there’s no reason not to allow for other people feeling differently.
Her PR team must be in Hell right now.
I wonder what Marvel thinks of all this – an awkwardly-timed pregnancy, some endorsement issues, and now commenting on the Woody Allen issue when she could have easily said something neutral. I can’t imagine they appreciate this kind of publicity leading into their next movie release.
I agree, lunchcoma. Bet they are not super stoked right now, to say the least. Marvel probably knows that the PARENTS pay for the movie tickets.
Ohhhh, lunchcoma, GREAT point! Someone mentioned upthread that Woody pays her bills. No. Marvel pays her bills. $20 Million for Avengers 2, and I think Captain America 2 was a $20M paycheck too. Marvel likes their stars personable, and they are OK with a little conflict, but NOT with the kind that makes you personally unlikeable. I wouldn’t be surprised if they ease back some of her promotional duties on the next round.
@Lunchcoma- You know Marvel is probably hitting their head against the wall right now. Marvel cares about money and she’s going to cost them one way or another.
I woudn’t mind if they recasted her. I never really liked her Black Widow. Great character, but she just plays it so bland. Even my friend who really likes Scarlett is turned off by her comments, so she really should be more careful with her words.
It’s not just kids and parents, either, nicegirl! I’m in my 30s and many people I know are planning to see Captain America…and they’re the sort who run across these comments and frown at them, too.
I’m surprised that people think Woody pays anyone’s bills, PrettyTarheelFan! I thought it was known that he only pays actors scale. He did give Scarlett a lot of exposure back in the day, and I can understand her being grateful for that, but he isn’t the one paying her bills.
At this point, I wouldn’t mind the Black Widow being minimized or phased out rather than recast, Marty. I think recastings can be a little distracting sometimes, and while I like the character, I don’t think she’s necessary to the franchise. Avengers 2 is introducing another The Scarlet Witch, and it might be a wiser move to build around her and her brother rather than the Black Widow and Hawkeye (nothing against Jeremy Renner, but Marvel has never figured out what to do with him anyway).
Grapevine also says Marvel has been seriously considering a Black Widow movie with Whedon scripting it. She is successfully 86ing that every time she opens her mouth over this.
And, Woody Allen doesn;t pay her bills and buy her houses and cars, Marvel does. She is making a lot of money from these movies.
The pregnancy is of greater concern to Marvel than the Woody Allen or SodaStream stuff, just because it impacts the filming of Avengers 2. The Allen and SodaStream controversies are big in our little corner of the internet because we follow celeb gossip and showbusiness news, but they aren’t on the radar of 80 percent of the audience that’s going to see Cap 2.
Well, we can only hope that Scarlett continues to dig her own grave so that we won’t have to see very much of her after this franchise ends. Except we all know she can turn to pedophile Woody Allen for work if she ever needs it. Ugh.
I think she needs to take her head out of her ass before she opens her mouth! Omg, try a little sensitivity why don’t you? I seriously hate people today.
Girl needs to remember to smile and shut up. She’s not the intellectual thinks she is.
What, no Sebastian Stan in Paris? Booo.
I used to be a fan but after these comments…
Sometimes, it’s better not to say anything.
wow. Coming from a pregnant woman (she might have a girl and I’m sure she wouldn’t defend any perv trying to get to her daughter) is really stupid and insensitive. She should at least not take sides.
I don’t get that part either. Would she be okay with Woody being around her kid?
Honestly, between Allen and Polanski and what Corey Feldman said about child stars and pedophiles, I really think the majority of Hollywood are soulless freaks who don’t see child sexual abuse as a big deal.
ScarJo, Natalie Portman (who supported Polanski)…. it’s all good that these bastards abuse kids because it’s not THEIR kids. That’s the difference.
Agree!!! He may be innocent but when the victim herself insists that he’s very guilty (and she hasn’t gone around accusing anyone else — that was a very detailed and focused accusation), I can’t understand any parents or future parents not feeling at least SOME concern.
Will someone please take that shovel away from Scarlett before it’s too late. Why does she keep on digging? Does she think her pregnancy will save her?
I get the feeling being a part of a blockbuster franchise has emboldened her and now we get to see her true colours. Good thing these movies were established before she signed on and she has never been relied upon to carry them.
people are just asking her about it because they know she doesn’t know when to stop talking. tabloids and interviewers know who to ask to get ‘risky’ quotes and ‘gasp-worthy’ things to retype in the magazines or online, and that’s exactly what this is.
nobody commenting on this website will ever be asked to work with woody allen, nor do they want to, and everybody has their own personal opinion on who they choose to believe and the ‘facts’ they choose to believe when it comes to the Farrow/Allen family and all their issues…which in my opinion is based on nothing but opinion (since I’ve read multiple interviews and articles defending and criticizing BOTH sides and still do not have an answer for myself, so it’s easier for me to say ‘what does an actors job have to do with woody allens past and personal life’? There are plenty of just plain shitty people in that industry and they have their fans drooling over them…if we only knew how shitty some of our ‘favorite’ people proabably really are…)
but again, that’s just my opinion. just like all her quotes are, just like all these comments are.
nobody is going to know the truth unless its taken back to court, which it hasn’t been yet…so until then, it’s up to personal opinion whether or not you ‘like’ woody allen and the people he’s worked with in the past or will work with in the future.
don’t see his films if you think he’s a liar.
don’t see the films of the actors he’s worked with if you think he’s a liar and you truly believe NOBODY should WORK with him PROFESSIONALLY EVER EVER AGAIN FOREVER BASED ON OPINION.
stop commenting on stupid things that people who have NOTHING to do with the case in question have to say about it when they’re asked and don’t have a good enough publicist to have a better response than this lady has…
Just read her response to the Soda Stream question. She literally cannot frame a thought into words. She’s not smart, she’s not that great an actress. Her face is starting to look unappealing to me. I guess I’ll stop seeing her films, just like I haven’t seen Woody’s since the scandal. Just expressing my opinion with my pocket-book.
Your comment doesn’t make any sense. You have no idea about the kinds of jobs people reading and commenting hold. More to the point, if your apparent opinion that people cannot have opinions about matters that are not litigated or re-litigated is true, then literally no comment on roughly 98% of news stories are permissible.
Ridiculous.
“nobody on this site will ever be asked to work with Woody Allen?” . . . because insiders do not read gossip sites? hmmmm
These are not “opinions”.
http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2014/02/woody-allen-sex-abuse-10-facts
These are undeniable FACTS. One of which is that the state attorney said he DID have probable cause to press charges against woody allen but didn’t want to put the “child victim” through a trial and, without the victim on the stand, he could not prosecute. Another fact: the Judge said that allen’s behavior toward Dylan was grossly inappropriate and that measures must be taken to protect her.
add this info to the fact that he took naked photos of his then-underage “step daughter” (yeah, I know allen/Farrow weren’t married legally, but he was in the role of step father to soon-yi, and he was the father of her siblings even if he wasn’t hers).
Mia is no saint, but that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t abuse going on. you can have your opinion on whether or not he’s guilty, however misguided I may feel that is, but please don’t act like there isn’t evidence that lends credence to Dylan’s story, and that it’s just her and other’s “opinion”.
I wish people stop saying that these are undeniable facts as they ARE NOT. This is an example of a completely one sided article–in this case, an anti-Allen article. Points 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 appear to be based mostly on the rulings in the NY custody hearings. However, she conveniently leaves out the fact that the trial and appellate courts both found the evidence of sexual abuse to be inconclusive. In fact, the trial judge was prepared to grant Allen visitation rights in the future if Dylan’s therapists supported that. I don’t know what points 3 (the discussion of the polygraphs) and 8 (which discusses the presence of Allen’s hair in the attic) are based on.
Violet, you didn’t disprove any of those facts. Simply stating where the information comes from isn’t disputing it or disproving it.
If you can do that, that is, prove these statements wrong, please do so.
Wow, she’s really not very bright is she?
Now Marvel has backtracked on the idea of a Black Widow solo movie. They say they want it to be a different female superhero. Good call actually. Scarlett’s not appealing enough to carry a franchise alone and from what I’ve read of the character’s background, her version of Black Widow is pretty neutered.
I thought they’d backed off of even doing a female-led superhero movie? Anyway, I’d much rather see the Scarlet Witch or Captain Marvel. (Or my favorite, She-Hulk).
Where did you read/hear that there won’t be a BW movie? I’m curious.
Personally, I’d love a BW movie, because she’s a great character. Marvel’s casting choice is just….unfortunate.
As for Scarlett’s latest comments. Maybe she should stick to skin care and beauty advice.
Of course people are going to work with Woody Allen. If Woody wants funding for a film right now he could get it at the drop of a dime. IDK why people are jumping down her throat when she’s telling the truth. Actors are still going to line up to work with Woody Allen. Full stop.
Yup. Especially since Woody knows how to write roles that get them Oscar nominated or win. Scarlett is going to say anything bad about the guy when in the future he could write her an Oscar winning role.
I don’t think anyone in Hollywood has a hesitation about working with Woody Allen. I feel for Dylan Farrow, I really do. But this is the reality.
No one probably knows that reality better than Dylan.
Woody hasn’t shown much inclination to cast Scarlett in a lead role in recent years. Word had it he was over the collaboration because he felt it had nowhere left to go. That happened to coincide with bigger names and better actors wanting to work with him again. It will be interesting to see what happens now that his star has been somewhat tarnished again by Dylan’s potent reminder. Scarlett may see this as her route to her Blue Jasmine. Too bad she can’t hold a candle to Cate Blanchett.
Well said, Mercy. Now that Scarlett is approaching her thirties and is knocked up, she can expect to see fewer directors that will cast her as a sexy bombshell. After this franchise ends and she has her baby, she will probably try to collaborate with Woody again in the hopes that she will be viewed as a serious actress in an Oscar worthy role. She has little talent but there have been plenty of overhyped stars who have managed to win an Oscar with the right role in the right movie and an effective Oscar campaign.
I agree with your comment when it comes to actors wanting to work with Woody, however that was pre-Dylan. Sure, the man can write a star role but I doubt the audience will now consider him a star making figure. Post Dylan? It will be interesting to see how well his projects, and his actor pets do in the future.
Her comment downright dismissed Dylans suffering for the past 20 years.
No. Just because somebody can’t produce hard evidence to you doesn’t mean their claims are imaginary and you can utterly dismiss them. This crosses a line IMO.
Poorly done, Scarlett.
It didn’t happen to her and she has never been in such a situation, if she had she would not respond like this…..thus….she is selfish and just a sheep like the rest. Sad. Beautiful, but not very smart. It takes real courage to stand for the truth and what’s right. Shame on her.
If she chooses to not believe that Woody did molest Dylan based on there being no trial etc. I feel like I understand in a sense. People are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. However I would not work with him or befriend him if I was in the situation. I do feel though that his relationship with Soon-Yi definitely proves a level of inappropriateness that can’t really be ignored. She may have been around 20 when his relationship with her was discovered but who knows when it really started. It disgusts me that a grown man would even be in a “relationship” with a female who he has known since she was around the age of 8. He was basically her step dad and was around since she was little so personally it grosses me out that he looked at her that way. My two cents of the day!
I agree. I’ve read that he didn’t live in the house, wasn’t technically a stepfather to Soon Yi, and that Soon Yi didn’t see him as a father, because he didn’t even live with them, he just visited. If I had been Mia, I would not have been in a relationship with a man like that.
But that doesn’t matter. He was still sleeping with her MOTHER. It shouldn’t have mattered either way–she was still underage, and she was still his girlfriend’s DAUGHTER.
I find it interesting that people draw a line when it comes to how much of a father figure Woody was to Soon Yi during his Mia days – some people have written that he didn’t even live with Mia during that time – so that’s suppose to excuse him from being a father figure? Proof that he was a father figure – google Woody Allen’s kids – and see for yourself – there’s lots of pictures of Woody with the Mia clan – with Soon Yi as a child – Woody pushing a baby buggy – looks like he’s playing daddy to me!
Wonder if she would feel comfortable enough about Woody to let HER son or daughter stay with him for the summer?
Exactly. Scarlet is being the dumbest a human being can be and considering the timing as she will become a mother you would imagine she would be more sensitive about this whole thing. She need to shut up and stop digging herself in a black hole. I bet she enjoying the attention.
Among other things, she needs a better publicist.
She has a great one. Her ego doesn’t listen.

Great comment.
I think she really believes this. Maybe she’s decided to separate the personal from the professional. Maybe she just decided she believes Woody. I think it’s odd that she really can’t understand why people would feel differently.
Great quote!
Lighter note
This Michael Kor’s suite Scareltt’s wearing, looks EXACTLY like the one Blake wore 2 years ago.
http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2012/06/27/blake-lively-in-michael-kors-good-morning-america/
It looks better on Scarjo. She really looks good in these pictures maybe it’s the pregnancy glow. Too many she is so ugly inside.
Someone yesterday had the perfect quote – I think they might have said it was from a country western song:
“She’s not pretty, she just looks that way.”
It’s a standard Kors suit.
Nothing Scarlett Johansson does is ballsy.
If she claims to not know anything about what Woody Allen did to his daughter then she should STFU about it. Instead, ScarJo is being flippant & dismissive & fanning the flames.
Disney/Marvel must be loving all this negative attention ScarJo is bringing their movie.
Y’know what? Keep talking ScarJo. I hope she talks her way right onto the editing room floor & right out of a stand alone franchise. BLECH!
Agreed!
I only just read the Farrow-Allen judge’s report/ruling (posted in vanity fair) yesterday, and the details made me sick to my stomach. It’s also obvious from the account that he took advantage of Soon Yi’s struggles with socializing and did not set up proper boundaries with her. Self-serving, disgusting man.
Hmmm. Hope she’s not carrying a daughter.
After what she said about Dylan’s letter I’m really not surprised, but I wonder when this interview was done since it doesn’t mention the situation rather just talks about her experience with Woody.
As a mother of a child who was abused, I can say that not only has she lost a fan, she lost my respect as a human being. I hope when she gives birth and she realizes that monsters like Woody Allen and the man who hurt my daughter are real, she adjusts her perspective. You never know, and you can never be too careful.
Best comment on the thread!
Sorry to hear you and your daughter went through such hell 🙁
On a lighter note, I love your name, I affectionately refer to Tom as my HiddleHubby.
Thanks! 🙂 love Tom but I have already a wonderful hubby, for me it is just a… british actor crush 🙂
I think Scarlett just lost a lot of fans including victims of sexual assault, friends and family members of victims, and the many people who believe Woody Allen is guilty of being a pedophile. Combine that with her cutting ties with Oxfam and she has really shown her true colors these last several months.
Wow. Either she has a strong opinion about Woody Allen that she isnt sharing or she is one of those people who talk about their opinion without thinking it through. Both are pretty repulsive.
First defending Sodastream and attacking Oxfam with uninformed, unqualified, and outright false statements. And now this. I never had an opinion of her before but now I just can’t…
She only get attention and good part on his movies so isn’t surprise she thinks that way but i thought she was smart enough to keep her mouth shut and keep this to herself but i guess not. Marvel and her people must be so happy right now. I bet black widow will have much smaller screen time on the avengers 2 which is good cause elizabeth olsen is more talent and deserves more than this bicth. She is better off doing movies with Allen. I hope she brings her future daughter or son to his set so they can play together.
Pregnancy must really be effing with her brain or she’s legitimately an asshole.
She was like this before she was pregnant so option B.
I am such a Marvel nerd, but the more this vapid, insensitive cow talks, the less I want to see Captain America 2.
Here’s the thing. It is so damn easy to accuse Without proof it’s just your word against his. So many fathers are accused of improprieties during a divorce by a mother wanting her ex to suffer. I’m sure each if us are aware of this and have a friend or friend of a friend who has suffered through this. These “facts” , which are later admitted to be unfounded, taint a man for life. For life. It’s unfortunate but it happens all the time. I’m holding my opinion open for now. And yes, I’m intimately familiar with this kind of abuse – in the worst possible way.
You can hold your opinion without being critical of people who make abuse accusations, like Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin. Scarlett’s comments discourage victims of abuse from coming forward.
PS I’m really sorry abt what you’ve been through.
That’s true – and thank you. I wonder what the acceptable phrase is for her ? “No comment” ?
Let me start by saying that I am truly sorry for any abuse that you have suffered.
however, in this case, it’s more than “your word against his”, or Dylan’s and Mia’s word against allen’s.
the state prosecutor said he had probable cause to bring it to trial but didn’t want to put the child victim through a trial…no victim on the stand, no prosecution.
the judge in the case called allen’s behavior toward Dylan “grossly inappropriate” and said that steps needed to be taken to protect her.
the abuse wasn’t reported by a “mother wanting her ex to suffer”…it was reported by a physician that treated Dylan.
these are FACTS, and not ones that have “later admitted to be unfounded”.
I am fully aware that people make false accusations to hurt others as they’ve been hurt, but I don’t think this is the situation here.
Sorry, but that’s sexist bullshit. Men who actually TRY to get custody get it in more than half the cases. Furthermore, a Canadian study found that fathers were MORE likely than mothers to lie about abuse claims than vice versa. It is ridiculously easy to get away with sexually assaulting someone. The FBI believes that two to eight percent of sexual assault cases are unfounded, and that can and does mean, “Cop didn’t like victim, victim didn’t fight back (because rapist threatened her), rapist didn’t have weapon, cop was cranky that day…. ” In short, a whole lot of things that have nothing to do with the victim can get a case tossed out.
You are yourself falsely accusing women and children here.
For reference, the notion that women lie to get revenge has been promoted by vicious sexist men for centuries. It is NOT true. What arouses my suspicions is a guy who is not content to claim it happened to him but who mist then claim that it is a huge number of women who do so—-and “ruin lives”, which is highly unlikely, given that if a hundred reported rapes, maybe ten will get to actual court. The rates for child abuse are probably even worse.
Exactly! Good posts! 🙂
We don’t need to put women on a pedestal, they are human beings and many have their own issues. I’ve experienced and seen plenty of my own sisters lie to get revenge, (some about me) but I’ve seen just as many who don’t. I have personally seen and experienced a teen girl lying about abuse because she was angry at her parents for not giving her what she demanded and wanted “out of the house”. I’ve seen women get pregnant on purpose without even including the men in the decision because they know in my state the government would garnish the men’s wages automatically.
Just because we women have been the “oppressed” gender, doesn’t make us saints. Most of the time we do give as good as we get in one form or another, we just learned to be sneaky and covert about it..
There are also great things about us too, but I think we need to be a bit more realistic about our own behaviors. That’s a big reason why we’re not “equal” because we’re not willing to take equal responsibility for how things are in this world, that we were co creators in it..
that being said I think Woody is a turd and totally did everything he’s been accused of, and that Mia is no saint and probably HAS manipulated some things, but that doesn’t negate anything he did to Dylan.
It is easy to accuse without proof, but the fact of the matter is a LOT more people than just Dylan and Mia think Woody is guilty. Many, many people reported inappropriate, predatory behavior from him. And he had sex with his girlfriend’s daughter. All of these things point to him at the very least being comfortable doing immoral things. Does Dylan have a history of lying for revenge?
I think she could have handled this a lot better. She could have either not said anything, or just simply said “I have no idea what happened with Woody and Dylan. I was not there. I feel bad for everyone involved in this mess”. And when asked about whether she would work with him again, she could have just made it out to be as “If it was the right project, yes”. Not saying “Who wouldn’t?” as though everyone else is wrong for not wanting to.
+1
“Brass balls”? More like a stone heart.
Let me start by saying that I belive Dylan.
But not everyone does. And I hate to say it–but none of us really KNOW. We are all choosing the “side” we take based on articles and he said, she said. Again I believe Dylan. But maybe Scarlett believes Woody. Now we can all scream and shout about how stupid she is to believe him. (Or how it may just be self-serving greed that made her decide on that stance) But to be the Devil’s Advocate here—think about if you KNEW Woody personally, had worked with him on 2 movies, had never experienced anything first hand inappropriate with him–and were told that Dylan was “crazy” and was making false accusations based on her “crazy” mother’s influence. THEN consider the fact that Dylan called ScarJo out by NAME and made the world say “Right! Why DO you keep working with that Pedophile?”
If I were Scarlett and I truly believed Woody–I might be tempted to say the things she is saying. Because it may be her way of saying “I will work with him because *I* don’t believe that he IS a rapist.” I agree that it would probably be best if she avoided the topic altogether. Let’s face it–Dylan is a victim of an atrocity by the hand of a parent whether Woody is guilt of abuse or not. Because if HE is innocent–that means that Mia put her daughter through this for revenge on her ex. No winners in this situation.
TLDR- Dylan called ScarJo out–so I don’t know if i codemn Scarlett for responding. I don’t agree with her. But I have to accept that she may feel he IS innocent, in which case she wants people to know THAT is why she is still working with him.
I agree with you.
I agree with you in everything.
If she was at all smart she’d approach a statement like Cate did. ScarJo seemed very dismissive of all Dylan thought and felt. And even if Dylan was believed to be troubled to a point where it was all made up Scar was still very cruel and used poor wording. If she has brass balls at all she only brings them out to be so brazen with her brand of stupid.
And I also believe Dylan.
That is a very thoughtful post, and I imagine that very might well be how she feels.
I could see her point in regard to calling out people who have worked with WA over the years, and I can understand responding to that, but I can’t get on board with these comments. I understand that she knows him, and believes what she believes and is entitled to do so, but in the interest of her own PR and being sensitive to victims of abuse…if I were in her position I’d just decline to discuss it, like Cate Blanchett did.
“If I were Scarlett and I truly believed Woody–I might be tempted to say the things she is saying.”
To be fair, if I were in her place and really believed the man was unjustly and poorly accused, I’d ignore Dylan and her claims and accusations altogether, I’d refuse to even speak on the topic and I’d scold the reporters for even bringing it up. In short, since there is no way to harm Woody except by bad-mouthing him and revisiting these old accusations, I’d stand by him by ignoring the victim and pretending she didn’t exist.
That would be a smart move of a real friend. That’s what his friends are doing, so far no one has made any comments on this except for Woody and Dylan, and those really are the only people who should be making any comments.
But Scarlett isn’t really his friend. I would actually respect her more if she were and if this was some sort of effort on her part to help someone she believed to be innocent. But it isn’t. This is not her trying to repair the reputation of someone she holds dear.
This is her protecting her own a** and career by making sure she leaves her options open because she’s seen Blanchett win that Oscar despite Dylan’s claims, and suddenly she’s desperate to not stay silent for cowardly fear of Woody never getting her that Oscar because Dylan named her in that letter, and maybe, just maybe, the man has some sense left in thinking “hey I don’t wanna put these actors and colleagues in a difficult position, I’ll avoid working with them for a while”.
No way, says Scarlett. I don’t care if you’d sodomized a whole yard of kids, unless they can prove it in court, you get me that Oscar and I’ll laud applause on you my entire life.
Sadly I think there is a lot of truth to your comments. His closest friends have come out swinging (a few), or kept their mouths shut (most). Scarlett seems to be pursuing her own agenda.
I agree with your comment–well stated. For the record, I believe Dylan, too, but people have different opinions about what happened and ScarJo shouldn’t be vilified because she believes Woody’s version.
she deservses to be vilified.
Yes, she deserves to be vilified. I agree with annie. Move over AnnE Hathaway, the public has a new most-hated celebrity!
Maybe she’ll feel differently when she has a child…
I hope so–better late than never.
Even accusations would make me feel uncomfortable about him, even if I had known him before. I found out a few years ago that one of my grandma’s brothers (who I had met years ago) had molested/raped her when they were both teens…that made me sick to my stomach, and I’ve never wanted to be in the same room or even talk to him ever again.
And I had spent the night over his house and everything, with my grandma.
I’m grateful to not even be in the same country as him.
I don’t think Scarlett gets it. No one is going to cast her in movies if she is completely unlikeable as a person. Look at Katherine Heigl. Look at how many films you get cast in when people won’t buy tickets because they don’t like you as a person.
This isn’t “that celebrity annoys me because she farts cookies” or “I don’t like her because she rolls out of bed with both middle fingers blazing” – Scarlett is taking up for a man accused of molesting his daughter, who in turn married his long term partner’s other daughter.
If Scarlett wants what’s best for Scarlett (which is her end game I believe – to do what is best for her and her bank account), then she needs to stop talking immediately. Her PR team need to sit her down and explain that she is going to ruin her career. People will forgive you for a lot, but no one forgives child molesters, so standing by an alleged one is not going to do her any favors.
I think it’s funny that people feel perfectly okay with blackballing obnoxious women but there’s a huge outcry and resistance to the notion that boycotting Allen’s movies is okay. I mean, people can gossip about women and that’s enough, but in Allen’s case, he lost four different suits—–which almost never happens with fathers, much less rich and famous ones—-and has lied like Sarah Palin about the case.
I’m not saying you do this but this comment jogged my memory.
I know what you mean – I just meant Scarlett in this specific case. Personally, I don’t support or watch any Woody Allen movies. I’m aware I am only one person, but he will not be earning any money from me. Ditto for a handful of other actors / actresses / directors who seem morally bankrupt.
I have never, ever seen a Woody Allen movie. My mom wouldn’t allow them in the house because she believed Dylan and refused to support a pedophile. Then when I was older and she explained to me why she would never let us watch a Woody Allen movie, I had no desire to see one myself.
The irony in this is that one of our family members molested his little sister, and while my mom acknowledges that it happened, she still supports him. I don’t get it.
Well, I don’t think the studios care about what she says regarding Allen. Sad for some, but true.
What a stupid idiot. If she keeps talking she will lose every single fan she has.
Well hopefully Marvel will make Black Widow disappear and we won’t hear from this dumb bimbo anymore.
Not going to see Captain America either.
So, let’s make a list of celebs, musical artists, directors, etc. who’s behavior, work choices and personal choices make them simply unbearable; Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett (although that pains me), Gwyneth Paltrow (just gross on EVERY level), Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, R Kelly, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kardashians, Jack Nicholson, Kanye West, Beyonce, Jenny McCarthy, Elisebeth Hasselbeck, Toni Braxton….I could go on and on.
The list of people that I simply will not give my money to in any way by watching, listening, etc. gets longer each day. Talent or no – You have to believe is right and wrong, good and evil and know the difference. You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything. But at the end of the day MONEY, AWARDS and unending/unwavering devotion from deaf, dumb and blind ‘fans’ are what drive it all. Sad.
Well that is a personalised list. I dislike Goop but if she is in a movie with others I could watch it.
Be sure that I never watched any of Woody Allen’s movies in the last twenty years, nor Roman Polanski’s.
Art or not, they creep me out.
Well, add to the list, now, anything Scarlett Johansson is in too!
I never liked Cate Blanchett anyway, she is good but I can’t stand her.
I think this is a very personal decision. Some people choose to separate the artist from the work and others don’t.
I don’t watch Woody Allen or Roman Polanski movies and I won’t buy music from R Kelly. I think I might avoid a movie with John Travolta if he were to ever make one that was even slightly appealing to me again, since I’ve heard enough allegations to believe he’s a serial sexual predator. I dislike Jenny McCarthy and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, but I wouldn’t ever watch anything they were associated with in the first place. Everyone else on the list either rates as someone I disapprove of but wouldn’t outright boycott or someone who doesn’t offend me at all.
Just curious, there are some names there I wouldnt think would be distasteful, so I am wondering what they did and if I missed something on them?
Not so much brass balls as, “Woody’s got the power to get me where I want to go, Dylan doesn’t”
Just..WOW
She said in her previous interview on this subject it would be irresponsible to comment on something that she doesnt know anything about..then she does another one and is “irresponsible” to say the least.
Way to throw the victim under the bus Black Widow..hope you never go through what the people you are referring to have, because you surely don’t have what it takes to deal with it.
What I find most surprising is how obviously stupid this woman is. It’s amazing, I mean I had thought she was crass, greedy and vain, but oh boy, now I’m beginning to think she is really just plain dumb. Must be a good actress then as she’s been fooling me all these years about her real level of intelligence.
I mean, even people who do jerk off to pics of children and secretly envy Woody’s success of his “wood” would NOT make such a statement, for the love of God. Next she’ll be saying pedophiles are just misunderstood and being denied their human rights to love in their own way.
Oh and, “Sodastream seems to be one of the sponsors of this Parisian premiere. ” GROSS. New level of depth to sink to, good job blondie.
From what I’ve heard and read, she’s just not a nice person, especially to other women. So I’m not all that surprised that she has no empathy or even some sense of decorum when it comes to Dylan’s story. She’s always been a second-rate, one-note actress to me, so I’m also not surprised that she’s kissing Woody’s ass, quite likely in the hope that he puts her in another typical Allen movie where she can pretend her bland acting is nuanced and purposely underplayed.
As for the SodaStream issue, all I can say is that it summarizes her apathetic attitude. She really doesn’t care, which makes me think we really shouldn’t care about her career either. Here’s to hoping her movies bomb and she never tries to do a record again.
I get the feeling French women are laughing at us everywhere. They pass off their fugly French guys to dumb unsuspecting American actresses, who in turn think they are oh so intellectual and hipster for dating/engaging/babying/marrying a Frenchman. Meanwhile the French women are keeping the cream of the crop for themselves. I just know there are lots of hot French guys and they are not with American actresses.
Yeah, right. I’m French and I can tell you that French guys are no treasure to be found and cherished. More like exact opposite, cheating and lying is the natural state of many French guys I know. Doesn’t matter, if they are dating a movie star or a regular woman.
Kaiser, you got it right again with Scarjo and Woody.
Defending him not once but twice now…see ya Scarlett !! Maybe she will understand and gain some sensitivity when she has that child. Not an empathetic bone in her body. So sad.
The truth is we will never know what truly happened. We can choose sides, That’s pretty much it.
Exactly, she is 100% right.
Unless woody is proven guilty of abusing Dylan, he is an innocent man.
Have we forgotten about the whole, innocent until proven guilty thing?
If he is proven guilty, woody needs to go to prison for an extremely long time.
Not liking someone, not wanting to work with someone, and not wanting to watch someone’s movies are all social punishments, and all are far less severe than depriving someone of his freedom. Most of us don’t apply the standards of the criminal justice system when making decisions about the people in our lives – would you need proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a boyfriend was cheating or that a friend had repeatedly lied to you before deciding to end the relationship?
Yes, if any man or woman is accused of such horrendous crime as an abuse of a child I need real proof before socially condemning them and ruining their reputation for a lifetime.
That is a very serious label to put on someone.
Woody has been living with this label for two decades. He seems to be functioning fine.
On a site where we regularly judge people for things like adultery, bad taste in clothing, and stupidity, it doesn’t bother me at all to condemn someone who’s alleged to have behaved inappropriately toward women in a number of ways (frankly, I think marrying his girlfriend’s daughter – something we all know he did – is sufficient for people to want to avoid him).
shayla, what would “real proof” be to you?
allen admitting what he (allegedly) did? not gonna happen.
a picture or video? doesn’t exist.
a first-hand witness account? there was some sworn statements/testimony that were DAMN CLOSE to being a first-hand witness account.
and keep in mind that the state prosecutor believed there was enough “real proof” to bring it to trial, but didn’t want to put the child victim through it.
the judge thought that there was enough “real proof” that, despite the lack of a trial, he stated that Dylan needed to “be protected” from allen.
so, what would be good enough for you?
ITPG only apies to actual court proceedings.
Sorry, but label of child abuser is extremely serious.
And I take it very seriously.
Shayla, if you take it seriously, please avail yourself to all the court documents and records pertaining to this case, as well as considering Allen’s behaviour with his children’s teenage sister and daughter of his longtime partner. The prosecutor’s decision not to pursue his case against Allen in court had nothing to do with insufficient evidence against him. He believed Dylan, the psychologists believed her, and she certainly has more credibility than Allen, who was under psychological care for his obsession with her, has changed his stories over the years, and had a sexual relationship with her teen sister.
“Sorry but the label of child abuser….” Yeah, you take the LABEL seriously but don’t care enough to educate yourself about it, or actually care about the victim here? Allen lies in blatantly self-serving ways—–in at least one case till DNA showed him up——while Dylan has never wavered.
Shayla seems quite a victimblaming person. Like we didn’t have enough people supporting that disgusting culture.
Exactly, she is 100% right.
The truth is that nobody knows what happened, except Dylan and woody, we are all speculating.
Unless woody is proven guilty of abusing Dylan, he is an innocent man.
Have we forgotten about the whole, innocent until proven guilty thing?
If he is proven guilty, woody needs to go to prison for an extremely long time.
The justice system is such that, he with the most money wins. Therefore, we must all use our buying power to offset social atrocities, such as the abuse of a minor; in this case the underage soon yi and dylan. Why in the world would Dylan want to publicly write the allegation if it were false? What would she have to gain by describing the indescribable. ScarJo just doesn’t get it, and because she’s going to hopefully grow up as a mother and vigilant parent who leaves narcissim, she will end up apologizing for her statements. I am going to continue to boycott her stupid movies (not that difficult) and of course the creepy pathetic WA films too.
No, we don’t. I happen to not to believe Mia or Dylan about the abuse accusations. So I will not be avoiding woodys work or people who work with him.
If and when he is convicted of a crime, I will boycott all of his work immediately, but I’m not going to crucify him or anybody else until I see real proof.
Samantha, I asked another poster above, and I’ll ask you the same.
what would “real proof” be to you?
allen admitting what he (allegedly) did? not gonna happen.
a picture or video? doesn’t exist.
a first-hand witness account? there was some sworn statements/testimony that were DAMN CLOSE to being a first-hand witness account.
and keep in mind that the state prosecutor believed there was enough “real proof” to bring it to trial, but didn’t want to put the child victim through it.
the judge thought that there was enough “real proof” that, despite the lack of a trial, he stated that Dylan needed to “be protected” from allen.
so, what would be good enough for you?
@Samantha
Lots of people still adores and supports Mike Tyson, despite he’s been convicted. So not really surprised of your or other people’s support of such infamous characters (and for me WA has guilty written all over the place….).
Allen has a history that makes him suspect. To act like those facts don’t exist is disingenuous and irresponsible. I don’t expect Scarlett or anyone to support Dylan’s accusations if they weren’t there, or their (comparatively limited) experience with Allen was a positive one. I do expect them to act like human beings and show sensitivity towards someone who is obviously in a lot of pain. She failed that test. Again.
“Innocent till proven guilty” only applies to court proceedings. Us civilians get to say whatever we want, and that includes commenting on Allen’s history of lying about the case in easily-caught ways, his weird thing for EXTREMELY young girls (who on EARTH would even THINK of a fantasy involving “fifteen 12-year-olds”?), and the vicious way he has attacked Mia and Dylan over the years.
So glad I started boycotting her when she first started working with Woody Allen.
I read a Mia Farrow bio and autobio in college after watching Rosemary’s Baby. I was enchanted by her. That being said it was certainly implied Woody was weird w the children behaved innapropriate with their daughter Dylan. Then of course chapters on Soon Yi. Mia was the original Jolie of her day adopting children, special needs children,and raising them as a blended happy family. We can’t know for sure what happened only Woody knows. But I’m inclined to believe he had ill intentions towards those children. Mia was pretty much a free wheeling spritely spirit roller skating around. I doubt she would be some calculating burned woman who would make up accusations against Woody and coach her children to do the same. I got the feeling she was protecting her children she felt that were her own from someone who had predatory intentions. Can’t believe how old Scarlett looks /:( makes me feel old!!!!!!!
I wonder if people are gonna boycott cap 2 because of her. I hope not. It does look interesting because a) it’s a political thriller b) Robert Redford. Out of all the avengers movies, I enjoyed cap the most (although I haven’t seen iron man 3 or Thor 2 yet), so I’m looking forward to cap 2.
Not going for sure, due to this. Hubby wanted to book the tickets two days ago and I said no. She ruined the movie for me.
totally understand. for me though, since she’s not the main draw for me in cap 2, i could ignore the fact that she’s in it. if it was a black widow movie, or any other movie where she’s the main feature, i wouldn’t see it. quick question though, are you gonna boycott avengers 2 as well?
@shay
Probably yes. The Marvel movies are the only ones I watched with Johansson in it and her character is already bland. Couple that with the disgusting stuff coming out of her mouth recently (the Oxfam attack was silly too) and I now totally dislike her.
The superhero shtick is also wearing thin. I really enjoyed the first Avengers, but I don’t think I will see any single one of these movies in the future. I like RDJ but Iron Man 3 was quite disappointing, to be honest.
Uhhh. the comment that this was in reply to disappeared….OMG U R ALL JUS” JELLY HATERZ!?!>@>?!>@
My thoughts are that Scarlet believes Woody fully. I think she feels Dylan is lying. I think she feels justified in her remarks bc someone is claiming a person she truly believes is a god person is a pedo. I don’t believe Woody for a second but I believe she does.
I agree. Which makes it even more pathetic that she has bought into his svengali act. He gushed over her the few times they worked together and I think she bought all the hot air he blew.
I’m sorry but I just do not like her. She is GOOP-lite.
Scarlett, would you let Woody Allen babysit your little girl, just him alone?
Sexual abuse of children is very difficult to prosecute. I am genuinely curious, who of the “woody is innocent until proven guilty” commenters here have had experience with family members being sexually abused? A child, aunt, sister, brother, cousin maybe? I’m not saying that you don’t have a right to your opinion, but I really do want to know. To me it’s very clear, and Dylan has spoken for herself. But perhaps it’s because I have experience with this in my own family. I’ve seen how they react, victims, perpetrators ,and perpetrators wife.. I’ve seen how they hide it, how it later comes out, I’ve seen how their lives almost always become quite dysfunctional, I’ve seen how victims still manage to keep relationships w/even the perpetrator when you would think they wouldn’t want to, I’ve seen how the wife stays even when the abuser amits guilt, I’ve seen how hard it is overcome (not that it’s impossible). I’ve also seen my grandfather finally not being able to take the guilt anymore since it was out in the open, turning himself in for Rape of more than one child (not just molestation), and I’ve also seen the police tell him that the statute of limitations had run out and there was nothing they could do… I’ve seen him invite himself over to my house even though I have 2 little girls, of course the answer was no. So again, I’m genuinely curious, who on the pro Woody side has experienced something similar and still think he is innocent?
I was wondering the same. Good question. I don’t think that anyone on Woody’s side ever experienced any abuse of any sort… Woody, even in his recent statements, could come out of the manual “How to be a successful child molester/rapist/abuser and fool people 101”. Any rape and abuse survivor understands that.
I wonder if her google alert is going off…
LOL!
LOL!! If it’s going off with all the backlash, I guess she might think things over next time before opening her mouth…..
Just curious, but will you stop supporting Hiddles since he worked with Woody Allen?
My uncle was accused a few years ago of horrendous child abuse and he was shunned by the family and the whole community. Recently, the accusations were proved to be lies by the accuser. It was too late, he committed suicide. I hope he has found some peace now. Very complicated and devastating situation.
One of my idiotic cousins accused her stepfather of molesting her. Her parents are divorced, the mom lives in the same town as me, and the dad lives in Wisconsin. She told her dad, and her dad called the mom. And it turned out to be her just making shit up (and she was a teenager when she did this, not a kid). Because my cousin is a spoiled brat who is used to getting whatever she wants.
And if my uncle had just called the cops, instead of asking calling his ex to talk about it, then the stepfather would’ve been in jail faster than you can blink–especially since we live fifteen minutes from the actual jail.
This isn’t the case with WA, and I think that false accusations are very rare.
I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s a tragedy when anyone is victimised by abusive behaviour or false accusations.
With Allen, there is actual evidence that he is the kind of morally bankrupt person who is capable of grossly inappropriate sexual behaviour with a young female family member, not mention the fact that he was under the care of a psychiatrist for his obsession with Dylan around the time her abuse was alleged to have occured.
False accusation exist. That doesn’t make WA innocent or any abuser and rapist let free to walk away with their crimes.
Ballsy. How many actors probably support Woody behind-the-scenes but won’t say it out loud in press? At least she has the guts to be loyal.
Maybe they’re not as desperate. Apparently she’s been after him to write her a lead role for awhile (“her Citizen Kane” — I’m not kidding), but he’s shown no interest. It will be interesting to see if he changes his tune.
Marvel must really be loving this mess coming out of ScarJo’s mouth. Creating press that distracts from the films.
I wish my celeb crushes would stop saying STUPID SH*T! Celeb gossip is seriously killing my fantasy land here. Oh well, at least I still have Matt Damon, Stephen Colbert, and Kerry Washington.
Damon, Colbert, and Washington are in an entirely different league from ScarJo. Those three you listed are well educated, went to good colleges (Harvard, Northwestern, George Washington University), and they are talented at what they do. ScarJo has no talent and little education. Her face doesn’t even look that good. She got where she is today with the help of Woody Allen and her cleavage, nothing more.
I would have more respect for Scar if she just came right out and said, I don’t believe Woody molested Dylan. In fact it would be more respect worthy of all these actors if, Cate B, for instance, said I don’t believe he did it. As a group though they’re not that articulate
What Cate B said was a thousand times classier and smarter that Scarlett’ s comments. She kept her comment simple and basically said she shouldn’t be involved and that is was between the family. I think actors love Woody so much for the prestige of working with him that they willfully ignore the allegations about him.
Has she never heard of the phrase ” No comment “
Anthony Lane just wrote a really embarrassing piece in the NYer in which he drools all over her. I don’t see the fascination. She has one performance. It’s been the same performance in all of her films. Her latest comments on Woody Allen show insensitivity and opportunism. I don’t like watching her, but I’ll admit that she’s really attractive when dolled up. But she’s perpetually the man-eater. That is all.
She’s such an idiot.
My gut was right. I never liked her and now I know why. All you need to do is read the Opinion from the first case in Connecticut. There’s enough there to never want that man around your kids. That’s all I can say.
That document made my stomach turn. And I don’t know how anyone who has read it could defend his behavior. A copy of it should be sent to every person who has worked with him. And then they should be asked if they feel comfortable leaving Their children alone with him. Scarlett is pregnant and I I would really know what her opinion will be once she becomes a mother herself.
I don’t know about Scarlett. She should just be neutral and not get involved. As for her comment, my comment would be I don’t see why anyone would continue to watch his films. So much neurotic dialogue. Do people even speak like that? Like they’re walking around with a caffeine IV, speaking 100 words a minute.
I have enough neuroticism in my family, with various aunts busting my chops in the real world and then to see that type of annoying nagging and paranoia on film?
No thanks. He is an overrated director and writer.
The other reason I’m totally off Scarlett is her Sodastream greed.
She’s carrying water for Woody b/c she worked w/him. It would be cognitive dissonance for her to admit that she worked with and said kind things about a total creep like that.
Furthermore, the girl got a 1080 on her SATs. What do you want from her? She’s not the hottest coal in the barbeque pit, after figuring out what salad she’s going to eat for lunch and whether she should wear a black or red suit to her premiere, I can’t imagine she has enough mental energy to think about anything from any point of view other than hers.
I’m falling on the stupidly short-sided side of the fence. She just comes across as incredibly smug and self centered. And her argument regarding SodaStream is a perfect example of this. To support a company that is flagrantly ignoring and abusing UN policies for profit is disgusting. And then the Dylan Darrow thing…she just needs to shut up about it. Show a little class and say no comment. I really want to continue to like Scarlett and I think the best thing for her to do is to only give interviews regarding her films. Anything outside of that is out of her depth.
Thank you! That is what I just commented. She just needs to shut up and stick to talking about her work because with every comment like this she is coming off like a moron. And a really insensitive one to boot.
Well, if she has a little girl, at least she will have a free on call babysitter, thanks Uncle Woody!
