A new "devastating" documentary explores accusations of pedophilia and sexual assault against director Woody Allen.

He has repeatedly denied the allegations. Here's what you should know about the doc.

Stories by @LorraineAli and @julia_p_barajas latimes.com/entertainment-…
The 4-part series charts Allen’s partnership with actress Mia Farrow, the mom of 3 of his kids. Then, the story unravels.

The film bills itself as a deep dive into court documents, audiotapes and footage of the child describing the abuse
latimes.com/entertainment-…
“I was over-the-moon happy,” Mia Farrow says, looking back on her early years with Allen. “But that’s the great regret of my life. I wish I’d never met him.”

She recounts "struggling to breathe" when she found photos latimes.com/entertainment-…
The doc "goes beyond the scandalous headlines and makes a compelling argument that Allen got away with the unthinkable thanks to his fame, money and revered standing in the world of film," @LorraineAli writes latimes.com/entertainment-…
Our own @LorraineAli, who watched the documentary, called it "comprehensive, convincing and ultimately devastating."

Here's why latimes.com/entertainment-…
For years, Dylan Farrow has maintained that Allen groomed and abused her when she was 7 years old.

She wrote this piece in 2017 about "Allen’s pattern of inappropriate behavior" latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
“I was disappointed to learn through press reports that Hachette, my publisher, acquired Woody Allen’s memoir after other major publishers refused to do so," Ronan Farrow said after news of the director's memoir was released latimes.com/entertainment-…
In 1992, Woody Allen said there were no incestuous overtones to his relationship with the adopted daughter of his ex-lover Mia Farrow. He has maintained this position throughout his career. latimes.com/archives/la-xp…

The Mono Lake Kutzadika Paiute tribe has dwindled from 4,000 members to just 83 since white ranchers and gold miners began pouring into the basin in the 1850s.

Tribal leaders still face the long and expensive process of gaining federal recognition. latimes.com/environment/st…
“Stress is an understatement,” said Charlotte Lange, 67, chairwoman of the tribe that despite being unrecognized maintains a tribal organization and holds monthly meetings. “We just want a place to call home, and time is running out.”
latimes.com/environment/st…
The Mono Lake Paiutes are among roughly two dozen unrecognized and landless tribes in California that have initiated petitions for federal recognition by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Latino and Black residents receive vaccinations at a significantly lower level than whites and Asian Americans, according to county health data released Friday. latimes.com/california/sto…

New photos from Megan Thee Stallion's shoot for Harper’s Bazaar were released on Friday.

People had thoughts about it. @NardineSaad explains.

Stallion, who appears on the March cover, captioned the images “UNSTOPPABLE."

Many of her followers praised her natural look and flawless finish.

However, some weren't happy about the minimalist photo shoot. She apparently reviewed and helped edit the photos.

Some comparisons were made to a recent Vogue cover: latimes.com/entertainment-…

A quasi-democratic approach to content moderation sets Reddit apart from most other major social media platforms.

But it is not without downsides.

@_B_Contreras_ reports: latimes.com/business/techn…
Corporate administrators from Reddit occasionally ban forums that allow hate speech and violent threats to proliferate.

But for the most part, much of the rule-making and enforcement on Reddit happens from the bottom up and varies between subreddits. latimes.com/business/techn…
Unpaid moderators write rules for each subreddit and use tiplines, automated filters and manual oversight to help enforce them.

But volunteering as a janitor for a website that describes itself as the “front page of the internet” isn’t always pretty. latimes.com/business/techn…

The idea that renewable energy is to blame for Texas and parts of other states running out of electricity is pure fiction, energy reporter @Sammy_Roth writes.

But at the same time, “simply blaming fossil fuels for what went wrong isn’t quite right.” latimes.com/environment/ne…
Just like California’s rolling blackouts last summer resulted from a range of causes — including a climate-fueled heat wave, poor planning by state regulators and faulty market design — so, too, are the forces at work in Texas nuanced. latimes.com/environment/ne…
Texas officials didn’t require energy infrastructure to be upgraded to withstand freezing temperatures.

They allowed homes to be built that leak too much heat.

And they chose to operate their electric grid in isolation from the rest of the country. latimes.com/environment/ne…
