Does the Academy Deliberately Award Domestic Abusers?

4. Woody Allen

Everyone is pretty much aware of four-time Oscar winner Woody Allen’s eyebrow-raising relationship with the adopted daughter of his ex-girlfriend, Mia Farrow. But Allen’s history includes more than just his questionable relationship. Farrow’s daughter, Dylan, accused Allen of raping her when she was just 7-years-old. Her brother, Ronan, blasted the industry for praising Allen, and for the A-list celebrities who continue to work with him despite the claims. Woody has denied the allegations by stating, “I did not molest Dylan. Not that I doubt Dylan hasn’t come to believe she’s been molested, but if from the age of seven a vulnerable child is taught by a strong mother to hate her father because he is a monster who abused her, is it so inconceivable that after many years of this indoctrination the image of me Mia wanted to establish had taken root?”
