Former model and actor Christina Engelhardt claims she started a secret sexual relationship with Woody Allen a few months before her 17th birthday in the 1970s, when she was younger than the legal age of consent of 17 in New York state.

 

According to an interview in the Hollywood Reporter, Engelhardt – currently working as an assistant to veteran producer Robert Evans – said she met Allen in October 1976 and the pair subsequently commenced a relationship that lasted for eight years, and of which she says she has “no regrets”.

 

Engelhardt says Allen introduced her to Mia Farrow after Allen met the Rosemary’s Baby actor in 1979 and began a relationship with Farrow.

 

The interview includes a 2001 note from Allen, which Engelhardt says is the last time the director contacted her.

yes of course ! ????.....so called happened in 1970,  suddenly she fell on a #weinstein gossip, and eureka!....her memory came back !....of course if it was John Smith the local truck driver of the village the amnesia may have lasted for a lifetime maybe ???...... but as it is Woody Allen naturally, memory comes back fast perhaps ?............ and not to mention even in a normal corporate office, many females who hit on male  supervisors and executives and willingly hint to jump to bed,  in exchange for good performance reports/promotions.....so one can just imagine the consensual orgies in the motion picture environment......(p.s. I wish I was a movie producer????)

You mean women actually have sex to further their careers?

It's never too late to be an attention seeking whore.

What?? I'm horrified, who'd have thought that women would have voluntarily degraded themselves for a little financial reward? Shocked!!

Who want's to know what people have done or not 40 odd years ago , publicity news stunt?

More likely a treasure hunt.  Her lawyer scents money. 

Sadly, this is what the #metoo movement has become.

Its founder says she doesn't recognise it anymore.

Come on, why would she voluntarily ruin her life coming out with this now?

I always like the explanation given by this lady. Money, attention, revenge, drug abuse, or just plain crazy.

And there's no downside for her, even if they could prove she was lying, it won't 'ruin her life' because women aren't punished for false allegations.

Misogynist!!!!

Woody was married to her step mother, (she was adopted) doesn't that make her his step daughter??  it does in my eyes.  oh well, I can be wrong once year I suppose.

He never married Mia Farrow, never even lived with her.

He used to get a hotel room to bang her because he didn't want her to get any entitlement to his home.

Not to mention she was married to Andre Previn most of the time she was banging Woody.

SO this is was your 'wrong once a year post'.

No, all this time I thought they all just really liked me, and that they were up for a promotion was just a coincidence...

Since Allen had a long-term relationship with Farrow and had a child with her, one can certainly claim a common-law relationship of some type. And also, since during that relationship, Farrow's adopted daughter came into that set-up, to claim that there was no de facto responsibility on Allen's behalf, sorry, its too much of a stretch. This is all borderline icky stuff. Oh, and BTW, Allen's movies are overrated, so there!

Borderline?

His films are so cruelly boring that the time spent watching

them can be considered stolen ... so he is also a thief.

Annie Hall, Sleeper, Love and Death, Bananas, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Manhattan - all boring? I think not.

Annie Hall dates terribly IMHO. The early stuff ditto. Crimes and Misdemeanors overrated. That just leaves Manhattan, the paeon to 'er.... an underage relationship.

Although I'm a huge Woody Allen fan, I do agree that his early comedies haven't aged well, although the exception is Annie Hall which, for me, is a timeless classic, along with Manhattan. I struggle with his more recent work though!
