Is Woody Allen also frightening to stand up to then?

It blows my mind that people still work with him even after all the pieces about him also being a sexual predator like is getting some award attention that much more important? For fucks sake.

Was Woody Allen? This statement is empty when he (and other men) continues to willingly work with other known abusers.

Robert Pattinson hasn't, despite seemingly working with every 'auteur' he can. You could argue that he just hasn't been cast or wasn't wanted, but I'm skeptical because he's willing to do small parts (leaving the lead to other guys). I just stalked his imbd and the Weinstein company is nowhere, even though the kind of mid-budget arty stuff he makes would be fit with that group.

He's been in so many movies at this point that it seems by design, but I'd be interested to know what he would say if asked about this (like, would he work with Allen or Polanski? did he avoid Weinstein on purpose?).

He'll probably find a way to disappoint us with some messy shit soon enough, tho...
