Love him or hate him, there’s no denying Woody Allen always gets into awkward situations.

His off-beat, deer-in-the-headlights look has been the face of his humor for generations. His off-center, abnormal behavior, on the other hand, has been tragically unfunny.

That Dark Side

Paradoxically, the four-time Oscar-winner is probably most famous for his split from his wife and later marriage to her adopted daughter Soon-Yi. Mia Farrow told the ugly story in her memoir, “What Falls Away.”

Justice Elliot Wilk awarded custody to Farrow in 1993, based in part on testimony of child abuse. The judge said Allen’s behavior was “grossly inappropriate.”

In his lawsuit, Allen says executives based their decision on “renewed allegations” against him. His lawyers don’t say exactly what the “renewed allegations” are, but everybody already knows.

Courthouse News reported that it was about Dylan Farrow, who said Allen molested her when she was seven years old. The allegation resurfaced in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
