Whew, this series is rough. I knew Woody Allen was trash but I did not know the timeline of his grooming of Soon-Yi. I also didn't know about her background which likely made her even more vulnerable to his manipulation.

And Mia Farrow seems like the exact type of person an abusive leech like WA would target. She was a lonely single mom who was a bit naïve and he took advantage of her love for him. What a disgusting man. Dylan is brave for continuing to speak out about his abuse. Fuck anyone who continues to work with him.

I didn't know about his affair with the 17-year-old model, I'm glad she was able to speak up about it. I also didn't know much about Manhattan except that it was about him dating a 17-year-old, so seeing the footage from that was fucking disgusting. Mariel Hemingway looked and sounded SO young and the way everyone in the film just talked about it like it was nothing...

I've never seen Manhattan and only vaguely knew the plot. The image of a group of 40somethings sitting around a dinner table with their buddy and his 17-year-old girlfriend was insane to watch. How the hell was this script greenlit? It's disgusting.

i've never seen any of his films - i knew what they were about but i never realised what they were really like. the clips they showed, like a supercut of the much younger woman seducing the older man in every single movie? and the guy they interviewed saying that even his unfinished works had the same theme. yuck.

I wanted to vom at those Manhattan clips. His "girlfriend" had such a babyface and he had her talking about having great sex with him!

i can't believe this woman has had to defend herself all these years. my heart breaks for her. there's absolutely nothing you can say to refute her account after watching those videos. heartbreaking!

I know he's being a dick right now but I do feel for child-aged Moses in all of this, too. It's easy to see why he decided to transfer his anger onto Mia instead of the correct target.

I caught the last half of episode 1 & ended up reading bits of each of the wiki articles for mia, soon-yi, & woody. Jesus, I didn't realize how messed up everyone was.
