Woody Allen

It’s disconcerting how director Woody Allen isn’t more widely criticized for his personal conduct. While his filmmaking career has undeniably been successful, with numerous Academy Award-winning films under his belt, it’s hard to overlook the disturbing aspects of his personal life.

The most prominent controversy surrounding Allen revolves around his affair with Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of his then-girlfriend Mia Farrow. What makes this situation even more unsettling is that Allen went on to marry Previn. Additionally, during his separation from Farrow, Allen faced public accusations of assaulting his daughter, Dylan. Despite the attention these allegations received, Allen never faced criminal charges or legal consequences for these accusations.
