Doing OK ... then why did Spike Lee turn on Woody Allen ? ...

There is a fascinating and informative article about Woody Allen, or rather the scandalous attack on Woody by Mia Farrow.

Like Timothy Chalumet who claimed to have backstabbed Woody on this issue in order to increase his chances of winning an Academy Award ... what a jerk. There is right now a big incentive for Spike Lee who just release his latest Movie "Da 5 Bloods" ( you'd be better off seeing a few documentaries about black history or the Viet Nam war ) and certainly must want it to both do well and not be a lightning rod for Mia's Hollywood minions to attack him and ruin the prospects for this latest movie.

Anyway, Spike is a real creep for doing that in my opinion.

It's clear Farrow was manipulating the staff. Ronan was too young to remember anything, but she convinced him and Dylan of the big lie.

“You can give people the testimony by those who worked in the house,” Allen says, referring to the Farrow children’s nanny, Monica Thompson, who gave two sworn affidavits saying Mia had tried to coax her into backing the molestation charge, then said Allen “was always the better parent and all the things Farrow is saying about him are not true”.

Allen continues: “You can give them the facts over and over. But the facts don’t matter. For some reason, emotionally, it’s important for them to buy into the story.”
