Roman Polanski Wants To Say Thanks!
It's not everyday a man can have an indecent relationship with a underage girl, flee the country to avoid persecution, and still be revered by some simply because he happens to make some movies.
What a wonderful world we live in!
Roman Polanski has written a letter to all of his fans and supporters and has posted it through his friend, Benard-Henri Lévy, thanking all of his new "friends" for their support. This is the first public statement he has made since he was arrested in Switzerland. He writes:
My dear Bernard-Henri Lévy, what you have said in the Swiss press is true — I have been overwhelmed by the number of messages of support and sympathy I have received in Winterthur prison, and that I continue to receive here, in my chalet in Gstaad, where I am spending the holidays with my wife and my children.
These messages have come from my neighbors, from people all over Switzerland, and from beyond Switzerland — from across the world. I would like every one of them to know how heartening it is, when one is locked up in a cell, to hear this murmur of human voices and of solidarity in the morning mail. In the darkest moments, each of their notes has been a source of comfort and hope, and they continue to be so in my current situation.
I would like to be able to answer all of them. But it is impossible: there are too many. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could reply? Perhaps in your journal, La Règle du jeu, which has supported me from the very first day? Perhaps you could disseminate these few words I'm sending you? I don't know. I'll leave it up to you.
Happy holidays to you and yours — and, through you, to all of these unknown friends whom I am discovering day after day, and who have helped me so much.
My warmest regards,
Roman Polanski
Must be nice to just sit around a Swiss chalet all day, feeling no guilt for past deceitful crimes and showing no concern for any future prosecution.
Oh wait! So far, it doesn't look like he'll get any! Wonderful!
What do U think of his letter?

His supporters are the misguided and the morally small.
i hope this fuckwit gets knifed in prison.
You are really good at twisting things to make them look the way you want them to.
He DID say many times over the years how he felt sorry about what happened and has apologized. At this point, he's not responsible for not being prosecuted, the decision isn't up to him.
He's thanking the people who supported him, that's only normal. Big deal. Whether you're guilty of a crime or not, whatever support you can get while in jail is precious.
I do not understand how anyone could support this creep. The girl was 13 years old!
I can't believe the celebrities and directors (and public) who have claimed their support for Mr. Polanski. How would some of them feel if it was their 13 year old child?
The hip hop community did not come out in support of Chris Brown and neither should Hollywood in support of the even more horrendous acts Polanski committed.
REMEMBER no matter what the victim may feel today or what settlement she received, Polanski must face justice for the crimes against the larger society, in this case the citizens of the state of California.
Not that it matters but is the man even that great a director? Chinatown is certainly masterpiece, but in the last 15 years the only films I have even enjoyed of his were Death and the Maiden and The Pianist.
Convicted of raping a 13 year old…fleeing his punishment…and the world supports him?? I just don't get it! Not a world I want to live in.
Blame the girls mother.
haha i live in gstaad n its pretty hilarious having all those paparazzis in town etc..
Anyone who supports this asshole are complete fools and should be called out for it. If they are celebs, interview and ask them point blank how they would feel if their 13 year old daughter was drugged and raped.
Trying to make it seem like life is SOOOOOOOooooo wonderful!
I don't care what he has to say…he's still a puke
an "indecent relationship"?? that implies consent. She was a child that he drugged and raped.
Perez, do you even realize that the same woman he is accused of sexually assaulting when she was 13 has even forgiven Polanski? She's pretty much over it and wants the whole ordeal to go away.
Just like I'm sure your buddy Charlie Manson enjoys all the fan mail he gets in prison right Roman?
BTW-Once your ass is in jail where it belongs, you'll have all the time in the world to answer your fan mail.
What would you call Woody Allen then? Kobe Bryant? Different circumstances, all pervs.
Must be nice to just sit around a Swiss chalet all day, feeling no guilt for past deceitful crimes and showing no concern for any future prosecution.

with the exception of the Swiss chalet, this sounds like Bush & Cheney!
The man feels no remorse and has essentially been reinforced by so many people who apparently buoy him up…which sickens me. I'm sick of our society who do not care if people take responsibility for their actions and take the consequences they deserve. Hello Charlie Sheen. We are raising children who pass the buck and why shouldn't they? They see it everywhere. ugh.
Re: BetterFasterStronger –
He felt sorry for it? She was 13 years old!! So basically what you are saying then is I can go out and have sex with a 13 year old, but as long as I say I'm sorry, It's OK?
we should not go to any movies that have stars that support him. let holywood understand that rapest are not welcom nor are the people who like them [she was 13 for god's sake]
The guy's a sleaze. But since his victim has recanted, I doubt the prosecution is trying too hard to bring him in…if they did, and she didn't take the stand, he might actually win, which would be a creepy outcome. They just want to rattle his cage…and he deserves it.
That girl went to his house, willingly drank champagne and took half a qualude even though she KNEW he was a letch who only wanted to use her, just like she was using him to get in a movie. If every person who made a stupid decision and ended up having an unfortunate sexual encounter could put the guy in jail, I think YOU and most of the guys who read this would be sitting in jail right now. And who the hell are you anyway, Mario? Didn't you trick some kid into making a sex tape for your own sick amusement? You make your LIVING writing horrible, hurtful things about people. You are no better than Roman Polanski. At least he's actually talented.
Educate yourself 'completely' on his story before you shove your judgements of the man down everyone elses throats Mario…. the truth is, he was set up from day one and was never given a fair trial….something that even a serial killer is entitled to. He was set up by Samanthas mother… and her daughter complied. She wasn't raped… and she has admitted that she would just like to forget about the incident…. and was fully accepting of all the hush money she was offered. Wake up Mario and let the man alone…. you are NOT the judge or the jury here…..the man has gone through more hell in this life than anyone ever should have. Leave him be.
Blame George Bush, douche
Ah look, you're calling it "an indecent relationship" now? It's not 'rapist!' and 'pedophile!' anymore? Sounds promising. Shame about the "simply because he happens to make some movies" comment though, the ignorance hasn't completely disappeared yet…
I love you Perez! You speak the truth and cut through the B.S. every time. I don't always agree with your take on things, but at least you have your head on straight, R Polanski is a pedophile, and only losers would take sides with someone like him.
vaya, lo que hay qué ver! Muestras de apoyo a un violador! ¿qué le pasa a este mundo? ¿qué sigue?
EFF Roman Polanski
Re: vancouvergrrl – Hey, just so you know in the USofA, any sexual contact with someone under the age of 18 is considered rape, even if the minor consented/agreed/pursued it.
Oh, I so want to choke him. Anyone want to help? What a heartless, snobbish of a ugly man.

IT DOESN´T MATTER, HE HAD NO FUCKING BUSINESS RAPING HER!!!!!!!! IDIOT! "unfortunate sexual encouter" MORON, HE RAPED HER, SHE WAS 13!!!!! YOU FUCKING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING, DO YOU HAVE A SOUL?
All I can say is EWWWWWWWWW!!! Weather or not he ever returns to be prosecuted does not change the fact that he molested a little girl. If it was my daughter I would never forget or forgive,
Would you, if it were your little girl? Would you simply forget about it because enough time has passed? I know i wouldn't
Re: ap076 – The girls' mother brought her to Roman Polanski.
I hope he gets butt fucked in jail!
Re: Pinkasaurus – Even sicker situation than I knew of, but I hope that even if "mom brought the girl to Polanski", you don't think that is an excuse for his actions.
IT WAS NOT AN INDECENT RELATIONSHIP WITH A MINOR, IT WAS RAPE. HE ALLEGEDLY DRUGGED A 13 Y.O. GIRL AND HAD SEX WITH HER. THAT'S THE PROBLEM NOW, PEOPLE ARE NOT CALLING IT WHAT IT IS: CHILD MOLESTATION/RAPE
Re: vancouvergrrl – Statutory rape is still rape, whether she "consented" or not. She was 13.
pls stop writing about this guy. no one gives a shiz about him.
Really, i am amazed you have the 'balls' to keep posting about Polanski, given your obvious and often posted pedophile leanings towards Taylor Lautner and many other children. I would just shut up on this one frankly.
Re: Intruder – If she really thought she was in danger should could screamed for Angelica Huston to save her. She fucked him because she thought it would help her career. The only reason the police found out about it was because she told her boyfriend that she felt guilty about cheating on him, and her boyfriend told her mother he raped her. Even she knew she's somewhat responsible. Hopefully you'll never have unfortunate, drunken sex as part of implied quid pro quo, but you're still obviously very young so…
Perez you're a simpleton with a capital S.
Leave poor Roman alone! This so called 13yr. old was no innocent little girl her parents should be charged fo neglect. Just another persons claim to fame!
[re=4626619]Re: schmoopsY]
I AM TIRED OF THE FUCKING PRO POLANSKY WHO ARE PUTTING ALL KIND OF SHIT ON THE VICTIM JUST TO PROTECT THEIR SEX GURU! ALL OF THEM ARE SUBMISSIVE AGING WOMEN BTW!
- THE GIRL WAS 13 AND HAD BEEN ASK BY POLANSKY TO MEET UP IN THE HOUSE OF A FELLOW ACTOR FOR A PHOTO SESSION TO APPEAR ON VOGUE INSISTING TO THAT GIRL THAT IT WILL BE PERFECT AND CONVINCING THE MUM.
- POLANSKY HAS RAPED SEVERAL 12 AND 11 AND 13 YEARS OLD GIRLS BEFORE HER ALSO IN UNDERAGE ORGIES HE MADE AT THAT SAME HOUSE, USING THE SAME TRICK, AND DRUGS.
- ROMAN POLANSKI IS A MULTPLE SERIAL RAPIST OF UNDERAGE GIRLS. HE WAS ONLY CAUGHT ON THIS ONE BUT FLEE.
- THE GIRL GOT A QUALUD IN THE DRINK AND WAS RETICENT AT DRINKING CHAMPAGNE.
- HE RAPED HER WHILE SHE WAS SCREAMING "NO "AND FIGHTING.
- THE UGLY BASTARD SIMPLY LIVES LARGE ON BEING A JEW AND THATS ALL THERE IS TO IT.
- BELLUCI IS A FUCKING HORE SHOWING HER ASS IN HOPE HE MIGHT STILL WANT TO JUMP HER.
- HIS WIFE IS A WAKO WHO ONLY KNEW ONE THINGS IN LIFE: HOW TO PLEASE POLANSKI AND GET FUCKED BY HIM IN ALL POSSIBLE WAYS.
- POLANSKY, IMMEDIATLY AFTER FLEEING TO FRANCE FROM USA, FUCKED ANOTHER UNDERAGED GIRL, NATASHA KINSKY AND DID SO VERY PUBLICLY.
- HE IS A CHILD RAPIST AND A RECIDIVIST. HE MUST BE JAILED FOR LIFE TIME.
- I ONLY REGRET ONE THING IN THIS CASE: THAT HE COULD ENJOY LIFE AS A FREE MAN ALL THOSE YEARS WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUNISHED, AND RAPED SO MANY LITTLE GIRLS IN FRANCE DURING ALL THOSE YEARS TOO.
- POLANSKI, THIS IS NO WARSAVA, THIS IS 2009. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM RUNNING FROM THE NAZI, YOU ARE A CRIMINAL WHO MADE A LOT OF VICTIMS RUNNING AFTER LITTLE GIRLS WITH YOUR OBSESSION OF CHILD SEX.
- YOU NEVER SUFFERED IN YOUR LIFE, YOU ESCAPED ALWAYS ALL RESPONSABILITIES LETTING THE INNOCENT PAY FOR YOUR OWN CRIMES.
IN WAR, THOSE WHO SURVIVE ARE NOT THE HEROS.
THE REAL ONES ARE THOSE WHO DIED TO SAVE YOU!
TIME TO PAY YOUR BILLS. SURRENDER.
Re: Ocean – Everything you've said is true. I just wish you had worded it in a more approriate manner.
.
BTW, it's Nastassja Kinski (no Nadia Kinski).
Polanski (who is a serial pedophile) hat sex with her starting at age 15 years, until age 18 years. As a thank you he cast her in his movie "Tess" and dropped her afterwards (presumably, because she had become to 'old' for him). This is the truth anyone can google it they don't belive it!
.
I think it's insulting to hear how happy and content he is, and how supported he seems to be. It's disgusting. He gets to avoid prosecution, and still hang out with his family for the holidays. How nice for him. What a piece of shit. I think we should all start writing hate mail and see how heartened and happy he is about that. Perez, you should find out his fanmail address and post it and encourage everyone to hate on him.
Give him the chair!!!
