Some men would be the embodiment of that monsters, while others are simply victims of the “cancel culture”. After Jennifer Aniston, who considers it” we don’t have to put everyone in the same Harvey Weinstein bag.”it’s up to Woody Allen to normalize gender-based and sexual violence by talking about Luis Rubiales.
” They I didn’t kiss her in a dark alley. He didn’t rape her”
Despite the allegations of sexual violence against him, Woody Allen was invited to present his new film (the fiftieth) at the Venice Film Festival.
Thrust into the spotlight at a festival that puts predators like Polanski first, the 87-year-old director didn’t miss an opportunity to come to the rescue of Luis Rubiales. On August 20, the head of the Spanish Football Federation kissed player Jenni Hermoso by surprise, without her consent.
Interviewed by the Spanish newspaper the world, Woody Allen has shown boundless support for Luis Rubiales. He used arguments perfectly emblematic of rape culture, recovering many of his most deadly stereotypes of him. In general, the director supported thisa rape is necessarily an assault committed by a stranger in a dark alleythat a kiss cannot be considered an aggression when the victim is “friend” with the aggressor or even thatthe assault is less serious than other crimes :
“Kissing that footballer was a mistake, but he didn’t burn down a school. She did not hide and did not kiss her in a dark alley. He didn’t rape herera just a kiss AND she was a friend. What’s wrong? »he has declared.
Woody Allen went on to say yes “Hard to imagine someone losing their job and being penalized like that for kissing in public”.
Recall that the director himself is accused by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow of rape in 1992, when she was of age 7 years. For years, he has openly denied these allegations. Although two investigations directed against him were unsuccessful, Woody Allen became one persona non grata in Hollywood no longer makes films in the United States.
