I’m not sure why Woody Allen thought it would be a good idea to comment on this, but he totally did and now everyone gets to air their hatred all over him too! Good job moran.
Here’s what Woody had to say about his good friend Harvey Weinstein:
“No one ever came to me or told me horror stories with any real seriousness,” Allen told the BBC. “And they wouldn’t, because you are not interested in it. You are interested in making your movie.
“But you do hear a million fanciful rumours all the time. And some turn out to be true and some – many – are just stories about this actress, or that actor.”
Yeah, but when there’s like 20 women making accusations, you think they’re ALL gonna turn out to be fanciful rumors?
“The whole Harvey Weinstein thing is very sad for everybody involved,” he added. “Tragic for the poor women that were involved, sad for Harvey that [his] life is so messed up.
“There’s no winners in that, it’s just very, very sad and tragic for those poor women that had to go through that.”
Allen said he hoped the revelations, which emerged after an investigation by the New York Times, would lead to “some amelioration”, but said: “You also don’t want it to lead to a witch hunt atmosphere, a Salem atmosphere, where every guy in an office who winks at a woman is suddenly having to call a lawyer to defend himself. That’s not right either.
“But sure, you hope that something like this could be transformed into a benefit for people rather than just a sad or tragic situation.”
Dude seriously, just sit down and shut up. You’re lucky you got away with it already, and you’re just begging for retribution to come raging down on your head at this point…
