'There's these actors who won't work with him anymore and some of them made movies with him are saying, "I regret doing that." 'What a bunch of pu**ies!' Maher said. Maher went on to say that Mia Farrow was 'vindictive' and had motivation to falsely accuse Allen of raping their child. He went on: 'So first of all, I just flat-out believe [Allen]... I believe a 57-year-old man didn't suddenly become a child molester in the middle of a divorce proceeding and a custody battle in a house full of adults in broad daylight.' When Couric pushed back, saying Allen's taste in women was 'pretty damning,' Maher wasn't having it. The comedian replied: 'Do you think he's the only guy who likes that? Really? 'Do you think he's the first guy who wanted his girlfriend to dress in anklets and baby doll [dresses]? That's what we grew up on, that's what we find sexy…that doesn't make you a pervert.' Maher eventually admitted it is possible Allen is guilty, as 'anything is possible.' However, he added that there isn't enough evidence for Hollywood to have made Allen a social pariah.
