How Does Woody Allen Get Away With It?

Ah, the wonderful world of celebrity scandals! Isn't it fascinating how two major figures can dance their way through the storm of sexual allegations and come out on totally opposite ends of the judgment spectrum?

In one corner, we've got the one and only Bill Cosby, all set for a second round in court on those pesky sexual assault charges. His once-gleaming career now lies in tatters, and "The Cosby Show" is disappearing from TV screens like it's been abducted by aliens. Universities are kicking him off their boards, charities are un-friending him like he's that annoying Facebook friend who keeps posting food photos.

But wait, why is everyone up in arms about it? Well, it seems more than 50 women have joined the chorus, accusing Cosby of all sorts of unseemly behavior. And Hollywood, in its newfound "we believe women" moment, is shouting from the rooftops that every accuser's voice must be heard, justice must prevail. After all, it's the era of believing women, right?

Now, let's spin the wheel and move to the other corner, where we find Dylan Farrow, standing alone with her claims against none other than Woody Allen, her dear old dad. She's shouting from the rooftops too, but it seems like her shouts are falling on some oddly deaf ears. Not a peep from Hollywood's "we believe women" squad. What's the deal, Hollywood?

While Cosby's accusers are getting support from Hollywood bigwigs, Dylan Farrow's cries are echoing in a vast empty void. And what's Woody Allen doing? He's gallivanting around at swanky events, sharing laughs with old pals, and raising funds for his next cinematic masterpiece. It's like a twisted version of "let's ignore the serious stuff and focus on the glamour."

Keaton and co. are still throwing accolades at Allen, like it's some kind of twisted tribute to an accused man. Meanwhile, Dylan Farrow’s side of the story gathers dust, as if Hollywood has collectively decided it's not worth hearing.

And let's not forget the cherry on top: President Trump's infamous "grab them by the you-know-what" remark sparked a firestorm of condemnation. But Woody Allen, who’s been accused of inappropriate behavior by his own daughter, is still getting airtime and pats on the back from the liberal media.

So there you have it, folks! The curious case of how Hollywood's selective "we believe women" stance seems to depend on who's in the spotlight. It's a tale as old as time, isn't it? Ugly, predictable, and all wrapped up in the glitzy packaging of celebrity culture.
