Woody Allen settles suit with Amazon---Mia Farrow and Polanski

Woody Allen settled his lawsuit with Amazon. They didn't say what the settlement was. Amazon must have paid him something and he was already loaded with all his Midnight in Paris money.

Meanwhile, I don't know if Mia Farrow has come to the defense of her "close friend" Roman Polanski. She flew to England in 2005 to testify for him in his libel suit against Vanity Fair, something she obviously didn't have to do.Vanity Fair had claimed that Polanski started hitting on women immediately after the murder of his wife, Sharon Tate.

Polanski was somehow able to sue in a British court even though he couldn't step foot in Britain without being arrested for being an escaped child rapist. I don't know how you can damage the reputation of someone who plead guilty to that crime, but Vanity Fair managed to pull it off.

Now French actress Valentine Monnier has come forward to claim that Polanski raped her in 1975 when she was 18-years-old.

The woman who Polanski plead guilty to raping when she was thirteen commented on the accusations against Woody Allen in March, 2018. This, from Showbiz 411:
Samantha Geimer is crossing swords with Dylan Farrow on Twitter right now. Geimer, now over 50, was Roman Polanski’s rape victim when she was 13 in 1977. Geimer has time after time asked for leniency toward Polanski and supported the vacating of charges against him.

Now Geimer is taking on Dylan Farrow on Twitter. Dylan was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen who claims that Allen molested her when she was 7 in 1992. Investigators found no proof Allen did anything and did not recommend charges against him. Still Farrow–via her mother Mia Farrow and brother Ronan– has turned the persecution of Allen into her life’s work. (She has never, however, addressed the fact that Mia’s brother John Farrow is serving 10 to 25 years in prison for molesting two little boys.)

She writes on Twitter: “I object to those using the #MeToo only for their narrow interests when it is for all of us, about all of use, to support all our choices. We all should be reaching down pulling others up, not reaching up to pull people down.”

Dylan Farrow upbraids actress Cate Blanchett for not speaking out against Allen, who directed her to an Oscar in “Blue Jasmine.” Blanchett said in a TV Interview about Allen: “If these allegations need to be re-examined which, in my understanding, they’ve been through court, then I’m a big believer in the justice system and setting legal precedents. If the case needs to be reopened, I am absolutely, wholeheartedly in support of that.”

Geimer’s response is that Dylan could still file a civil action against Allen to prove her claim. But Dylan won’t do that– she doesn’t have a case, despite her mother and brother attempting to poison anyone they can against Woody based on hearsay.

Good for Geimer for calling out Farrow. She writes: “Ridiculous to attack those who think crimes should be investigated and tried in Court and ask instead that Twitter is now judge and jury for all accusations. You do not have to pursue charges as an adult, but if you do not, the consequences is there will be no guilty verdict.”

If Polanski had gone to prison in 1977, he'd have been released about forty years ago. I don't know if it would have had a greater or lesser effect on his career if he'd gone to prison instead of making a run for it. I don't know why anyone would want him coming back to the United States. I think he was jerk for leaving Poland after the people of the country paid for his education and bankrolled his first movie.
