Woody Allen's Teen Lover Tells All On 8-Year Affair & Threesomes With Mia Farrow
Dec. 17 2018, Published 5:41 p.m. ET
Woody Allen allegedly had a secret 8-year-long affair with a 16-year-old when he was 41, and his teen lover has come forward to blow the lid off the inappropriate romance with the Oscar-winning director, beginning when she was just 16 years old and he was 41.
Babi Christina Engelhardt, now 59, told The Hollywood Reporter all there was to know about the fling which she claims included raunchy threesomes with Mia Farrow.
"I'm not attacking Woody," she said. "This is not 'bring down this man.' I'm talking about my love story. This made me who I am. I have no regrets."
Still in high school at the time, Engelhardt was the first to make a move on Allen at a Manhattan restaurant in 1976 by dropping her phone number off at table — within in weeks of that first encounter, they were already sleeping together, she claims.
The legal age of consent in New York state is 17.
Woody and the former model allegedly has been hooking up for four years by the time he introduced his girlfriend, Mia Farrow, for threesomes.
She wrote about the XXX liaisons them in a memoir manuscript which THR also cited.
"I felt sick" the first time Allen introduced his public girlfriend, who was 14 years older than Engelhardt and would go on to start a family with Allen before their nasty split in 1992.
"I didn't want to be there at all, and yet I couldn't find the courage to get up and leave," Engelhardt wrote. "To leave would mean an end to all of this. Looking back now, that's exactly what I needed, but back then, the idea of not having Woody in my life at all terrified me. So I sat there, patiently, calmly trying to assess the situation, trying to understand why he wanted the two of us to meet."
After a "handful" of threesomes, however, Engelhardt says she became fond of Farrow. "There were times the three of us were together, and it was actually great fun. We enjoyed each other when we were in the moment. She was beautiful and sweet, he was charming and alluring, and I was sexy and becoming more and more sophisticated in this game. It wasn't until after it was done when I really had time to think of how twisted it was when we were together ... and how I was little more than a plaything."
"I used to think this was a form of mother-father with the two of them," Engelhardt said. "To me, that whole relationship was very Freudian: how I admired them, how he'd already broken me in, how I let that be all right."
Allen and Farrow did not provide any comment for the article.
The last time Engelhardt heard from Allen was in 2001 when he allegedly wrote her a letter, suggesting they get back in the bedroom with his now wife of 21 years, Soon-Yi Previn, who is Farrow's adopted daughter.
"I already had children then. I was like — not that I've gone square, but my priorities were different. I just wanted to stay away from that," she said, and even provided the outlet with letter:
"I hope you're happy and well. I recall our times together fondly. If you're ever in New York, I would love you to meet my wife — she'd like you," he wrote. "We get out to California every so often. If you'd like I'd call and perhaps we could all get together."
