Director Woody Allen says Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales should not lose his job for forcibly kissing a player on the lips after the Women’s World Cup final, saying it was not like he murdered someone or burnt down a school.

“He wasn’t raping her,” the veteran American filmmaker said in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Mundo. “It was only a kiss and it was a friend. What’s wrong with that?”

Ah yes, Woody Allen - the paragon for appropriate relationships with women. We should certainly listen to him about what is and isn't acceptable behavior.

/s if that wasn't clear.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 59 points 1 year ago

I wonder if woody would be okay with me punching him in the face. It wouldn’t be murder, so what’s the big deal? It’s just a really punchable face.

‘He wasn’t raping her’

..he said, speaking from experience.

Abusers defend abusers, always have, always will.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

Fuck off, pedo.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

Maybe sit this one out, Woody.

And if you don't mind, maybe go away.

Guy who is a known pedo asks “what’s the big deal?”

I mean, that’s exactly what I’d expect from a little girl molester. Dude should be in jail.

He wants press, any press, because he has a movie coming out. Ignore him.

[–] Lemmylaugh@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck Telling that to the likes of Garry Maddox who wrote this piece.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I meant to vote with your wallet. Don’t give articles clicks, don’t go to the movie. Allen deserves obscurity.

What, Donald Trump wasn't available to give his reaction too?

[–] Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

he didn't even grab her by the pussy

[–] londos@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't even believe all the accusations against Woody, but bro, this is not the one for you to weigh in on.

[–] themajesticdodo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Optics, Woody, optics.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

What journalist would seriously think he's the best person to come to for a quote? I mean honestly it doesn't even make sense from any aspect other than sensational bullshit. He has no expertise and no connection to the story in any way. Straight garbage from everyone involved.

[–] BillDoor@feddit.uk 20 points 1 year ago

I've not seen a lot of coverage of this in the English press but his mother also shut herself in a church and went on hunger strike to protest the mistreatment of the poor boy.

If the only people defending you in this type of case are your mother and Woody Allen then I think you can safely assume you're in the wrong.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This isn't the way, Woody Allen. Not a good look.

[–] TheBlackKnight@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Hey, let's see what Roman Polanski has to say on the issue as well...

What does Cosby think?

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Next up, grab them by the pussy.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh look, it's the subject matter expert giving his experienced opinion.

Chomo fuck.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, just, god damn... really?
