“What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie?” asks Dylan Farrow in today’s New York Times. That opening question is followed immediately by Farrow’s account of repeated sexual abuse at the age of 7 at the hands of Allen.
"Imagine your seven-year-old daughter being led into an attic by Woody Allen…Imagine a world that celebrates her tormenter."

Ronan Farrow recently brought the allegations back into the light as Allen was being lauded with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, tweeting:

Dylan Farrow has made the charges before, but her open letter in the New York Times is forcing the public at last to confront some very ugly charges.

Woody Allen is a monster. Hollywood is filled with them. His sycophants will attack the woman who was 7 when he raped her.

Kind of funny that the same people in Hollywood that defend or applaud Roman Polanski and Woody Allen often lecture us on what is right.

The fact that so many Hollywood actors are willing to work w/ the vile #WoodyAllen just shows how soulless and ambitious those trolls are.

Just read Dylan Farrow's piece on alleged abuse by Woody Allen. Reminds me: Choose your heroes carefully and be willing to let them go.

I haven't watched a Woody Allen film in years, and I once enjoyed them. But now, his idea of a love story is impossible to see.

Dylan Farrow calls out by name those who have worked most recently with Allen:
What if it had been your child, Cate Blanchett? Louis CK? Alec Baldwin? What if it had been you, Emma Stone? Or you, Scarlett Johansson? You knew me when I was a little girl, Diane Keaton. Have you forgotten me?
Woody Allen is a living testament to the way our society fails the survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
Maybe this will help other victims and convince Hollywood to stop kissing Woody Allen's ass: http://t.co/P6FIsBiyac
