Babi Christina Engelhardt Affair with Woody Allen

While in an extensive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she claimed to have started a relationship with Woody Allen when she was underage. According to the model, they embarked on their illicit romance in October 1976, after briefly meeting at a New York City restaurant. She claimed that it wasn’t Allen who made the first move, but herself, a brazen young teen. Babi wrote her number on a napkin in an attempt to get his attention, and joked, Since you’ve signed enough autographs, here’s mine!. Her bold move bore fruit as she soon met at his penthouse on Fifth Avenue, where they would reportedly engage in sexual activities for the next eight-years. Babi was still 16, for the first three or so months that they began their affair, until she reached New York’s legal age of 17 in December. The curtains were always drawn. The view must have been spectacular. I wasn’t there for the view.” Engelhardt said.

Engelhardt also alleged that, Allen brought two other “beautiful young ladies” from time to time for them to have threesomes with. After four years of being romantically involved, Engelhardt said she was surprised when Allen told her he wanted to introduce her to his new “girlfriend” Mia Farrow. Though she admitted to have felt shaken by the introduction, as she considered herself Allen’s girlfriend, she continued to stay with the director while he dated Farrow.

Woody was also accused of sexual assault by his adopted daughter Dylan in the past. Currently he is married to his ex wife’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi.

Former model and actor Christina Engelhardt claims she started a secret sexual relationship with Woody Allen a few months before her 17th birthday in the 1970s, when she was younger than the legal age of consent of 17 in New York state.

According to an interview in the Hollywood Reporter, Engelhardt – currently working as an assistant to veteran producer Robert Evans – said she met Allen in October 1976 and the pair subsequently commenced a relationship that lasted for eight years, and of which she says she has “no regrets”. Engelhardt says Allen introduced her to Mia Farrow after Allen met the Rosemary’s Baby actor in 1979 and began a relationship with Farrow.

The interview includes a 2001 note from Allen, which Engelhardt says is the last time the director contacted her. The note reads: “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. We get out to California every so often. If you’d like I’d call and perhaps we could all get together.”

Allen’s film-making career is in limbo after sex assault allegations made by the director’s daughter, Dylan Farrow, which Allen denies. His most recent film, A Rainy Day in New York, was shot in September and October 2017, but is yet to be released by its producers, Amazon Studios. A number of former collaborators, including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Hall and Colin Firth, have publicly disassociated themselves from him, while others, including Javier Bardem and Jude Law, have defended Allen.

Allen’s representative has been contacted, but has not responded.
