A few days ago in the press was published a small interview of the artist Sasha Newley, which he gave for the publication of The Sunday Times. The 52-year-old man, who is the son of the famous writer and actress John Collins, claimed that his father was a pedophile. To refute this statement and say that Sasha does not understand the meaning of the word "pedophile", Joan and the sister of the artist Tara tried.
Saying Joanne Collins
In an interview for The Sunday Times, Sasha Newley about his father Anthony, who was a famous singer and actor, said these words:
"Now that my father is dead for almost 20 years, I can publicly say about his weakness. Anthony was obsessed with youth and believed that innocence is the best aphrodisiac in the world. You do not know how destructive and terrible was his craving for minors. I believe that the ribbon called "Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?", Which was released in 1969, best shows the inner side of my father's soul. It was his universal recognition that he was inclined to pedophilia. "
This statement so shocked close family members Sasha Newley that Joan Collins decided to make a return statement, saying these words:
"It seems to me that my son does not fully understand the meaning of the word" pedophilia ". His words, said in an interview for The Sunday Times, are rash and very naive. My ex-husband was a connoisseur of young female beauty. He admired the girls of 17-19 years old, but this does not mean that he experienced similar feelings for children. What my son says is an absolute lie and an ungrounded statement. Believe me, I was married to Anthony for 8 years and did not notice anything like it. I would never have tied my destiny with a pervert, much less would I give birth to children from him. I'm very sorry that Sasha is applying serious accusations to his father, absolutely not thinking about what devastating consequences they can bear. "
Despite the rather loud statement of Collins, it is worth noting that with Anthony Newley and the famous actress divorced in 1971, and after the break, almost did not communicate. The only thing that connected them was the common children born in marriage: Sasha and Tara.

Statement by Tara Newley
After speaking with a statement in defense of her former husband Collins, a statement appeared in the media that Sasha's sister Sasha Newly - Tara. That's what the woman said:
"I'm very sorry to hear from my brother such accusations against our dad. I do not understand why he said that. Sasha describes a monster that I do not know. The brother is not right that our father was a pedophile. I get very uncomfortable with this. "
Recall, Anthony Newley was born in 1931 and became famous in the cinema as a director and actor. In addition, he was a famous singer. He died in 1991 from a serious illness.
