The famous 81-year-old film director, producer and writer Woody Allen, who created more than a dozen legendary films, decided to support his colleague Harvey Weinstein, accused of numerous sexual harassment of actresses, his assistants and simply those women who wanted to get into the world of cinema.
Interview with the famous Allen
81-year-old Woody rarely gives an interview, but to restrain their concerns about the persecution of men, after a resurgence of a scandal with Weinstein, he did not stand up. That's what words when communicating with reporters, Allen said:
"What happened to Harvey is a rather sad story. I'm sorry for this man, because he is very talented and so mediocre to ruin himself - it's incredibly sad. Despite all this, I sincerely regret those girls and women who were able to experience the sexual harassment of Vainshtein. This story is now very much narrated, and she launched a mechanism that makes women talk about violence and harassment in their direction. This is what worries me the most. As if in our society the so-called "witch hunt" began, where any man who decides to wink a woman he likes will be charged with sexual harassment. If you think that I am cunning and there are no such examples in history, then you are mistaken. To understand what will wait for each of the men, then look at least a few episodes of the series "Salem". There, this topic is very well revealed, especially when the guys rush to call their lawyer, because without them they can not protect themselves.
If you go back to that person, because of whom it all started, then I want to support him. I'm certainly not a girl, but I've known Harvey for many years. In addition, we worked together with him not on one film and never complained about Weinstein about sexual harassment. I believe that Harvey will recover very soon in the clinic, and his case will not be as terrible as it might seem today. "

Allen is also involved in a sexual scandal
The fact that a sex scandal can bring quite a bit of trouble 81-year-old Woody knows firsthand. Allen was in fact married to Mia Farrow for 12 years, after which the woman accused the famous director of sexual harassment of adopted daughters. The reason for such loud statements was the passionate novel of Woody with his daughter - 22-year-old Miya Sun-I Preven. True, the director was in relation to the girl quite serious intentions, because in 1997, lovers were married by marriage.
