Woody Allen

Woody Allen may or may not be a pedophile, but he is still an asshole. Scarlett Johansson, who had worked with him for three films and the first one being when she was 19yrs old, still thinks he is innocent. Woody Allen has allegations placed on him by his adopted daughter that he sexually abused her. Even though the evidence of sexual abuse wasn’t there, the way he behaved was considered wildly inappropriate.

In 2019, after the #MeToo movement, many denounced Woody Allen, but Scarlett defended him and said that she directly asked him, and he assured that there was nothing and that she ultimately believes him.

Sexually Radioactive

Woody Allen, let’s just say it is an ungrateful guy. When Scarlett met Woody, she was 19 years old. She was cast in his movie Match Point. In his new book ‘Apropos of Nothing,’ which was released this year in March after a whole lot of drama, Woody had called Scarlet as ‘sexually radioactive to eyes’ when he first met her.

There have been more inappropriate and tone-deaf comments made on Scarlett, Naomi Watts, Emma Stone, and Christina Ricci. Don’t know what Scarlett thinks of him now.

Vanity Fair and NSFW Leak

In 2006, Scarlett posed nude alongside Kiera Knightley, with a fully dressed Tom Ford for the cover of Vanity Fair, and received some harsh criticism. The controversy was that some saw a statement being made there that women must flaunt their sexuality more often than men.

In 2011, Scarlett’s phone was hacked, and her nude pictures which were captured to be sent to her ex-husband Ryan Reynolds three years before that incident was released. The hacker was caught and was sent to prison for ten years.

Scarlett instead decided to have a lowkey wedding. They tied the knot in a lowkey wedding ceremony and gave all the wedding proceedings to a charity. All of this was done in secret until the charity gave a shout out to the married couple and thanked them for their generosity. Johansson planned the wedding in two weeks.

Politics

Scarlett shies away from social media but never in maintaining her right to vote and endorse a candidate. Scarlett has been a long-standing democrat. Even though she didn’t make any appearance in Zoom or anything during the pandemic, she came out to endorse Bidden and Harris in a Zoom call that was attended by the fellow Avengers. It is good to see she cares.

Birthday Twin

Scarlett may already have a twin brother, but she also shares her birthday with fellow Avenger and on-screen love interest Bruce Banner. Kidding, Mark Ruffalo and her shares the birthday, not Bruce Banner.
