Joy Behar defends Woody Allen by comparing him to Al Franken
This week, actress Scarlett Johansson publicly defended director Woody Allen in a way few others in Hollywood have been willing to do. On The View, Thursday morning, Joy Behar joined her.
“When somebody is accused of such a heinous crime as child molestation, you say to yourself, what do I believe?” Behar said on Thursday, noting that like Johansson she has worked with Allen—in her case on his much-maligned Amazon series Crisis in Six Scenes. She went on to cite the “evidence” that Allen has said exonerates him. “The Connecticut State Police brought in an investigative team from the Yale New Haven hospital, all right?” she said.
“I'm not defending Woody's behavior with Soon-Yi, that was deplorable,” Behar stressed, referring to the adopted daughter Allen went on to marry. “It's creepy, but it's not a crime. She was over 18 apparently when he married her. But this, with the little girl, I mean he has been exonerated by the experts.”
Story continuesShe was referring to a 1993 ruling in which Justice Elliott Wilk stated, “we will probably never know what occurred on August 4, 1992... [but] Mr. Allen’s behavior toward Dylan was grossly inappropriate and... measures must be taken to protect her.”

Aspiring Actor Dreams Of One Day Publicly Voicing Regret For Working With Woody AllenLOS ANGELES—Explaining that it would be a landmark moment in her career, local aspiring actor Janine Caballero told reporters Thursday that she dreams of one day publicly voicing regret for working with Woody Allen. “Ever since I started acting, my wish has always been to land a role in a film directed by Woody Allen and then some months later release a statement expressing my remorse for taking the job and offering an apology to any women I may have inadvertently hurt,” said Caballero, adding that she has always fantasized about promising to never work with him again and then donating the salary she earned from starring in one of his trademark romantic comedies to a nonprofit combating sexual abuse. “From a professional standpoint, there’s nothing I want more than to go on 60 Minutes or a late-night talk show and explain how I never would have worked with Allen if I had the information I have now. Recounting how I took the role when I was younger and not secure enough in my career to speak up would really put me in the rare company of some actors I admire tremendously.” Caballero went on to say, however, that she wasn’t above deeply regretting appearing in a high-budget blockbuster directed by someone like Brett Ratner.
