Woody Allen & Wife Soon-Yi Previn Spotted At Launch For Sex App’s Magazine

Academy Award-winning filmmaker and longtime-accused sexual predator Woody Allen and his wife made a rare public appearance when they were spotted at a launch party for a sex app’s magazine on Wednesday.

Although Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn did not stay at the event long, their presence was unusual as they have been “notably missing” from New York City’s social scene after the #MeToo movement.

The event launched a “heavyweight literary magazine” called AFM, made by a kink-tailored dating app.

The app, Feeld, markets itself as “the dating app for the curious,” and gives its users the ability to filter people by different hookup scenarios.

Allen’s adopted step-daughter, Dylan Farrow, first accused Allen of sexual misconduct in 1992; Allen denied the allegations and was not charged. Over the years, Farrow has maintained that Allen was a sexual predator throughout her childhood. She wrote an open letter that was published in The New York Times in which she explicitly stated that Allen had molested her for as long as she could remember. 

Allen did not suffer any consequences from the accusations until the #MeToo movement when his $68 million contract for four films with Amazon Studios was axed. Despite prosecutors saying that there was reason to believe Allen was guilty, he has not been charged.

In a 2018 New York Magazine article, Previn backed up her husband, and claimed, “What’s happened to Woody is so upsetting, so unjust.” She went on to accuse that Farrow’s mother had exploited the #MeToo movement and paraded Dylan as a victim for publicity. Previn also lamented the fall of Allen’s reputation: “A whole new generation is hearing about it when they shouldn’t.”

In a 2023 interview with Variety, Allen spoke of his damaged reputation, “The fact that it lingers on always makes me think that maybe people like the idea that it lingers on…You know, maybe there’s something appealing to people. But why? Why?”

In April, Allen said he may retire from filmmaking due to his inability to have his movies produced in the U.S.
