Dylan Farrow says she wants to bring down Woody Allen for sexual abuse
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/dylan-farrow-bring-woody-allen-article-1.3761792
shareI think she was just brainwashed by Mia Farrow. She's old enough to think for herself now and needs to shut up. Unless there is solid proof, Allen is entitled to presumption of innocence. She just wants to get in on the Metoo bandwagon for attention.
shareI honestly don't know what to think. Woody is creepy but Mia strikes me as a bit off.
shareAgreed on both points
Really weird shit with these two
But bedding your adopted daughter is certainly a freak move
Im moving along...
When did he adopt her?
shareSorry
Do i have my story mixed up
I thought Woody and Mia had a bunch of adopted kids
Soon Ye (sp?) was one of them and later on he dumped Mia for the kid
Am i mistaken?
He never adopted Soon Yi. She was his Mia's adopted daughter from Andre Previn.
Still creepy, but it could have been worse I guess.
Experts felt like Dylan was coached, btw.
Ok thanks...much obliged
And yup...super creepy
Up to a point. Soon Ye was 19, not a kid, neither Allen's daughter. You can argue about the age difference... but it happens that Mia Farrow herself mated André Previn when she was 25 and he was 41 and married. Mia reaped what she sow.
shareNo one knows Soon Yi's real age, but she has said their sexual relationship began while she was still in high school.
If you think Mia reaped what she sowed, Woody is overdue to adopt a son, for Soon Yi to have a relationship with him and hide it from Woody, and then leave Woody for the (much younger) son, never apologise or admit any wrongdoing or inappropriateness of it. Graphic photos of the young adoptive son must also be taken by Soon Yi, and that's how Woody discovers it.
but she has said their sexual relationship began while she was still in high school
Source, please?
She has said no such thing.
After they adopted Soon-Yi, Mia Farrow and her then husband André Previn had done some medicaly research, and had established Soon-Yi's birthdate at October 1970.
Her affair with Woody Allen took off at the end of 1991. The nude photo's were taken in early 1992. That makes Soon-Yi 21 at the time.
Indeed, their romance was very unfortunate, considering the circumstances, but in spite of the age gap it was an affair between consenting adults. The couple got married when Soon-Yi had completed an academic education, and was 26. They are still married today and have raised two happy adopted daughters, now adult.
Agreed. While I felt for Farrow's pain (and understandable shock and rage in '92), this was
25 years ago! And Farrow and Allen were NEVER married, so he was NEVER Soon Yi's
"stepfather." Also, Farrow and Allen - both eccentrics - rarely lived together.
Look, we all know that Allen is pretty out there sexually (sex has always been part of
his films). It is not surprising that he adores young women (really, would Juliette Lewis
get THAT much screen time in "Husbands and Wives" if that weren't the case?). The problem
is, we have NO significant proof that Allen is a child molester. We DO know that Farrow,
a whack job if there ever was one, has been "educating" (brainwashing?) her children
for decades! Moses himself does NOT support Dylan's story, and has stated that there
are significant holes in it.
There's something else. Dylan claims this happened once. Really? Since when do child
molesters victimize ONCE?? Also, nobody else has yet come forth with any claims. It
doesn't add up.
Is it possible Allen is guilty? Of course. But it isn't likely, and he's been cleared. Dylan
Farrow seems OBSESSED with trashing Allen, and harassing ANYONE in the industry
who works for him. If this really happened to her, why on earth doesn't this young,
screwed up woman get into therapy and MOVE ON?? The more she opens her mouth,
the less convincing she is.
Should we take all statements of molestation and rape seriously? Of course. But that
doesn't mean that EVERY single complaint is legitimate.
Stars like Susan Sarandon, Michael Caine, and others make me want to vomit. The younger
stars make me even more sick. How DARE they publicly comment on something they
were not witness to, and has NOT been proven. They are disgusting.
I'm not defending Allen, as much as I am defending innocent until proven guilty.
From where I'm sitting, the actual "evidence" is that Farrow has an ax to grind, and
will stop at NOTHING to avenge an affair she should be long over!
Innocent until proven guilty is the standard we use in a court of law, as it should be. It's meaningless in the court of public opinion. OJ never being found guilty of a double homicide isn't a good reason to think he's innocent.
That said, I'm not professing to know one way or the other on Woody. It seems unknowable.
But you talk like Farrow is pulling Dylan's strings and making her go after Woody because Mia still has an "ax to grind" over her feelings of betrayal from a 1992 affair.
That just sounds real far fetched. Dylan's a 32 year old woman with a mind of her own. To argue she's fighting a proxy war on her mother's behalf because Mia exerts some sort of jedi mind control over her just isn't reasonable.
Brush up on your Shakespeare. Moses has stated repeatedly (as has Soon Yi) that
FARROW was physically abusive and never stopped TELLING them (brainwashing?)
what Allen "did" to Soon Yi and Dylan. If you were up on all aspects of the story,
you'd know that Farrow does not come off smelling like a rose. She came from a
very dysfunctional family herself, married 50 year-old (FIFTY!!) Frank Sinatra when
she was twenty. Several years back, she tried to starve herself to death (!!!) in
protest over some situation involving wrongs committed on children. She only stopped
when she admitted it was too painful (!!!!) to starve oneself to death.
She is not playing with a full deck.
Look, I don't know anything more than you do. But I do NOT buy Allen's guilt at
this stage of the situation. And for Susan Sarandon to state at the Cannes Film
Festival several years back (when asked what she thought of his new film), "I
don't support child molesters" is the height of unethical commentary. It's outrageous.
As for Michael Caine stating he won't work with Allen again, who cares? And if the
man's so sincere he can turn in his Oscar ("Hannah and Her Sisters")...or maybe
auction it off and give the proceeds to genuine child abuse victims.
Sorry, but you don't know any more about this than anyone else does. Moses initially stood behind Farrow. He's changed his position.
There are allegations that Allen was the one who was abusive, in more ways than one.
We don't know the truth. It's very unlikely we will never know the truth.
IMO *neither* Allen or Farrow are playing with a full deck. To blame all of this on Farrow is, while assuming all innocence on the part of Allen, is naive at best, and sexist at worst.
So why cite Moses while conveniently ignoring Ronan? He's long stood behind his sister.
In fact, back in 2016 way before Moses turned against his mother, Ronan finally opened up about why he was estranged from his father and believed his sister. He never saw any actual abuse but talked about how his dad's behavior around her weirded him out, climbing into bed with her in the middle of the night and forcing her to suck his thumb.
Another thing I remember from that interview is him talking about how his dad was always courting him with financial assistance, offering to pay for college for instance, but it was always contingent he turn on his mother. He refused because he saw his dad's behavior around his sister firsthand and had no reason to believe she was lying.
So while Ronan is now a highly successful investigative reporter who just bagged a Pulitzer for the New Yorker, he's never needed his dad's assistance. Maybe Moses fell on hard times. It's pretty curious he initially supported his sister only to come out 4 years after she went public to instead side with his dad. Why didn't he speak up sooner?
Like I was saying, your insinuation that a 32 year old woman is fighting this public proxy war at her mother's behest from a breakup from 25 years ago just isn't believable.
Dylan isn't very "Believable" either. And you say I don't know anything more than you. Very true. So since none of us knows, the burden of "proof" is on Dylan, who isn't very convincing. And since Allen was cleared, his is, legally, not guilty.
Again, NOBODY else has come forward with such allegations. That's not how
child molesters work. They molest repeatedly, hence their illness.
If you're so convinced of Allen's guilt, stop watching his movies.
You sound seriously misinformed about the facts, including your false contention that he was ever legally cleared. The prosecutor is on record saying he had drawn up an arrest warrant but Farrow decided to spare her daughter the trauma of a public trial. That's not synonymous to being "legally cleared". The only final legal disposition is a scathing 33 page ruling in Allen’s custody suit against Farrow where the judge found “no credible evidence to support Mr. Allen’s contention that Ms. Farrow coached Dylan or that Ms. Farrow acted upon a desire for revenge against him for seducing Soon-Yi.”
I suggest you brush up on your Shakespeare:
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2014/02/woody-allen-sex-abuse-10-facts
https://www.scribd.com/document/205403621/Allen-v-Farrow-Custody-Ruling-June-7-1993
As for being "convinced of Allen's guilt", now you're putting words in my mouth. I'm just pointing out the reasons you're giving to argue his innocence aren't rationally compelling.
Asking why Dylan hasn't gotten therapy and moved on isn't a compelling reason to think she's not believable.
But like I said, I don't know.
Soon-Yi was not Woody Allen's daughter, adopted daughter, or step daughter. She was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Andre Previn. Allen and Farrow never lived together, so prior to his relationship with Soon-Yi, Allen had never lived with her. In fact, he had never had much to do with her at all, until Farrow prompted him to get to know her better. At Farrow's urging, Allen befriended Soon-Yi. When their relationship became romantic, and when they were married, Soon-Yi was an adult.
shareIt looks creepy.
shareWho cares if it 'looks' creepy? It wasn't. And they've been together for over 20 years now, and there haven't been any other allegations against Allen.
shareThink what you want👍
shareSure, but please be armed with the facts first, and please think rationally.
shareSo edgy 😁
shareNot at all. 🤷♂️
shareThere certainly have been allegations before and if you don’t think it’s creepy for a man to marry the daughter of his ex- wife that he knew as a child then this conversation is over.
Next time know the facts.
👋
What 'allegations' apart from the one made by Dylan Farrow?
And it's immoral and an act of betrayal to marry the daughter of one's ex-*partner* (I understand that Allen and Farrow were never married), but creepy implies something else, which I don't think is fair or reasonable in this instance.
Allen is a selfish jerk, for sure, but that's not the same as being a child molester/sex offender.
Thing is that there will never be proof. Only Dylan Farrow and Allen know what happened back then. Still, anybody who's read through this article will most likely agree that Woody is hardly above suspicion: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/i-read-decades-of-woody-allens-private-notes-hes-obsessed-with-teenage-girls/2018/01/04/f2701482-f03b-11e7-b3bf-ab90a706e175_story.html?utm_term=.5500016dd586
sharewell said pzogal
shareQuick, name me one person who is "above suspicion." One can suspect anyone of anything. Suspecting does not require evidence.
shareThat's precisely the point. There is no evidence for Allen having done it nor for Allen not having done it. Hence, demanding evidence is simply pointless in this case. There is, however, lots of circumstantial evidence that points towards Allen not being above reproach. Similarly, one could argue that the same applies to Dylan/Mia Farrow.
shareMia Farrows brother is in jail for molesting two young boys. How do we know he didn't do it? Mia never said a word abt her own brother!!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2478439/John-Villers-Farrow-Mia-Farrows-brother-jailed-sexually-abusing-2-boys.html
That's awful, I never knew about this until now.
Yep, Mia's hypocrisy is covered in the various links here:
https://ronanfarrowletter.wordpress.com/2017/12/13/qa-with-dylan-farrow/
With regard to Dylan, I agree with Robert Weide, who stated, "I’ve never accused Dylan Farrow of lying, and never will. If you’ve read my 2016 piece on WordPress, you’ll know my position is that one can believe in Woody Allen’s innocence, without branding Ms. Farrow a liar."
Only if Dylan Farrow does not realize she is lying, or if she realizes it, but is going it anyway to stay in the good graces of Mia Farrow. It's a conundrum. I feel sorry for her to be stuck in that position and her whole life is based on this thing between Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, not her own personhood and that is awful. On the other hand, I do not think what she says is correct or true.
shareMia Farrows brother is in jail for molesting two young boys
Maybe it was him who molested Dylan, and after coach enough she finally imagined that it was Woody Allen who did it. People can build fake memories, specially memories from a very young age... or change the ones that really happened.
A pedophile who's into molesting boys is highly unlikely to be sexually interested in girls. There's literally zero evidence that Mia's brother molested Dylan. Silly to even mention it.
But it did bother me that Mia has remained entirely silent about her (convicted, on two counts) pedophile brother. I get that he's her brother, but what about those young boys he molested?! I'd have thought more highly of her if she'd been brave enough to speak up and honestly about her brother.
Unless more accusations come out to the point of being impossible to deny.
shareI agree that she was brainwashed. There was a thorough investigation of this done at the time. It sounded like Dylan was coached by Mia Farrow. https://radaronline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/yale-new-haven-hospital-allen.pdf
shareHave to agree. One needs to know the sick background between Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. First, they were
NEVER married (they lived across the street from one another in separate NY apartments). Secondly, Farrow is
a whack job, who has adopted more children than Ma and Pa Kettle ever had, and her own son does
not speak to her, and does not support Dylan's story (in several instances, he has testified that he was WITH her
when she claims Allen molested her).
Thirdly, in all these years, no other individual has come forth to claim Allen sexually assaulted them. Nobody.
Mia Farrow remains furious all these years later for the (admittedly gross) relationship between Allen and Soon Yi.
Dylan's brother has accused Mia Farrow of physical abuse and of actively brainwashing her children into
believing Allen molested Dylan. But Allen and Soon Yi are now parents, they are NOT blood related, and they've
been married for years. It's ancient history, for heaven's sake.
Innocent until proven guilty is right.
As for pigs like Susan Sarandon, who has bashed Allen despite proof, there's a nice warm place for them
several floors down. GOODBYE.
I read that Mia tried to get Woody to marry her AFTER he was discovered. Plus she tried to convince the court that Soon Yi was mentally disabled (guess her master's degree was a fluke, eh?)
Mia is a piece of work.
(Not that the relationship wasn't icky, but Mia was definitely acting like a woman scorned...)
Dylan's brother Ronan has defended her, see the thread I started and everyone ignored.
Nobody defending Woody is posting links, just rumors!
Links, plenty of them here:
https://ronanfarrowletter.wordpress.com/2017/12/13/qa-with-dylan-farrow/
There is NO proof that this young woman is being honest. There is much doubt about the accuracy of
her "story", including huge inconsistencies when she was originally interviewed.
Am I convinced Allen is innocent? Nope. But I'm in no way convinced he's guilty.
Anyway, gotta run - I'm due to meet a friend to see this great filmmaker's latest film, "Wonder Wheel",
which has gotten excellent reviews.
Bye now.
The fact that they were never married during their 12-year relationship isn't evidence of sickness. They did not live across the street from one another, but across Central Park.
Mia came from a large Irish Catholic family -- 9 members -- so it's not at all surprising she'd want a large family as well; it was normal to her. The Catholic Church forbade its members to use birth control at the time, so many Irish Catholic families were large.
There are many families with lots of children. Do you consider those parents sick? Mia was well off financially, and could afford to give her adopted kids lives far better than those they had before she adopted them. On the face of it, I admire her for adopting these children, even taking on kids with serious physical disabilities, who would doubtless have languished in orphanages until they became of age, and then who knows what would have become of them.
Whether or not she mistreated them is another issue. Soon Yi and Moses said she did, the other children say she didn't.
Woody, who didn't like kids (or animals), was reclusive and no doubt felt overwhelmed by Mia's apartment and lifestyle, which was filled with noisy kids and animals, so they worked it out by maintaining separate residences. Some long-term and even married couples do that; some even live their lives bi-coastally. Unconventional, yes. Sick, no.
"her own son does not speak to her, and does not support Dylan's story (in several instances, he has testified that he was WITH her when she claims Allen molested her).
Well, Woody's only biological child doesn't speak to him, and does support Dylan's allegations. So ...
Dylan has only alleged one time Woody actually molested her, so there can't be several instances. That day there were 6 kids present, and several adults. I doubt Moses could or would have kept track of where Dylan and Woody were for every minute of it. It was a large house.
(continued)
Well, interesting thoughts but Mia Farrow hardly lived the life of a "practicing Catholic".
In the 60 Minutes interview that Woody Allen gave years ago he says that Mia was never religious for a minute, but all of a sudden she was taking the kids to get baptized after she found out about Woody and Soon-Yi.
Mia was married to Frank Sinatra at a young age. Then she had an affair with a married Andre Previn and gave birth to twins. Hardly the behavior of a good Catholic girl. She had an ongoing affair with Woody Allen. Again, fornication is not exactly condoned by the Church.
Her large family? Well she did take in very needy kids. I will grant her that. But it had nothing to do with not using "birth control". She was trying to conceive a child out of wedlock with Woody Allen. The Church is totally against that.
As for the Church forbidding birth control "at the time", surprise!, it still does! NFP, or natural family planning is allowed. But artificial birth control is still considered sinful. Most Protestant denominations were onboard with that teaching too, until about the 1930's.
Mia Farrow can live her life as she chooses, but she is "hell and gone' from a "good Catholic girl." She's kind of a slutty character despite the mantle of "sainthood" conferred on her by those who admire her for adopting a litter of children.
I've known many practicing Catholics over the course of my life, and most have gone against many of the rules the Catholic Church lays out. It's hardly just Mia.
Her own father was a practicing Catholic and was a well-known adulterer.
It simply isn't true that Mia was never religious. When she was a child she wanted to be a nun. At the point where she wanted all the kids to be baptised, she thought they needed a spiritual life, and that was her way of providing it. I don't know that Woody and Soon-Yi's relationship had anything to do with it. It seems she's been gradually returning to her Catholic roots ever since.
I didn't say her large family had anything to do with not using birth control. What I said was she grew up in a large family, so it's hardly surprising that was the norm for her and something she'd want for herself. I disagreed with the other poster that this is any kind of evidence of being "sick."
You have to know that many Irish Catholic families are large, and it is due to a lack of using birth control.
The Catholic Church, to this day, doesn't even allow condoms?? My parents were Protestant and had no such feelings about birth control.
She did have an affair with the married Previn, and worse, she'd befriended and then betrayed his wife. No excuses, but she was young and has said she regrets it (unlike Woody, on both counts).
I think her adopting those kids *was* admirable, as well as her doing a lot of humanitarian work. I certainly do not confer any mantle of sainthood on her, and have neither said nor implied it.
Oh yes, nobody is perfect! Catholic myself and I am hardly perfect. But we are not just talking about "rules", these are commandments. And yeah, don't we all break a few of them?
If Mia Farrow was returning to her "Catholic roots", I don't know how that squares with her death threats aimed at Woody Allen or at the very least, that creepy Valentine she sent him pierced with skewers and a knife.
Yes, the Church is against artificial birth control. Not saying that many Catholics go along with it, but it is the official Church position.
Sorry if you thought I was implying that you thought Mia was some saint. Didn't mean to imply that. Miss Farrow has adopted all those needy children and has done humanitarian work.
It must have been a shock for her to find her partner of over a decade was in a relationship with her adopted daughter. I just see it as more of a "you reap what you sow". She adopts a child with her lover and later has a baby with him. They have this long term affair and never marry. We're talking about breaking commandments left and right. THEN she finally is "shocked" about Woody's behavior with her daughter?
She married Frank Sinatra who was thirty years older. He dumped her after about a year because she wouldn't give up her career. She was in a relationship with Andre Previn who was cheating on his wife and gets pregnant. So why is she so judgmental about Woody Allen? She hardly took up with saintly men before him ! LOL
Bottom line, I guess we focus on these people because they are famous and have made movies. But most of their personal behavior is hardly admirable.
So if you agree that none of us are perfect, and that even practicing Catholics can and do break commandments, why single Mia out as having to be so different? For that matter, why not call Woody a slut?
I'm not religious, BTW, so to me rules and commandments are the same thing. Not that I have any argument with The 10 being very good things to abide by.
Okay, so then even you agree that many Catholics currently use birth control, even though it's against the Church's official position.
Thanks for clarifying and apologising. Apology accepted :). I agree there is no taking away from her the good things she's done, regardless of other behaviour. I admire her for those things, and not so much for others -- such as befriending Dory Previn and then betraying her by getting involved with her husband. But at least Mia has owned up to it and has expressed regret, as she should do.
What must have been deeply shocking was to discover photos of her young daughter in her long-time BF's apartment, of her nude and spread-eagled, and that's how she found out about it! Think about this. How would YOU feel, were you in her position?
Moreover, YOU were the one who encouraged your long-time BF to spend time with her, because due to her sad past history, you knew she distrusted people in general, and men in particular.
Discovering someone you love has been unfaithful to you is hard enough, but this? I can't even imagine what a shock it must have been. Then for Woody to repeatedly lie to her to cover it up, to promise marriage when that was only a manipulation to shut her up, to continue the affair when he said he wouldn't and wasn't, yet all the while was. It was one humiliation after another, and that's not even counting the many roles he wrote for her where she was the cuckolded wife.
(cont'd)
Oh gee, I really didn't mean to single out Mia as being "so different". We are actually ALL the same as far as being imperfect and sinning. I just can't see Mia as the totally wronged party here and Woody as the evil ogre. Both people have to take some blame when a relationship goes bad.
I have trouble feeling a whole lot of sympathy for people who make foolish choices. Even if Mia Farrow was an atheist, I'd think she made some dumb moves as far as men are concerned.
What I mean is that Mia Farrow was hardly some innocent and naive young girl when she became involved with Woody Allen. She had been married twice and so had he. I did not know that he had promised to marry her though.
But gee, after a decade of NOT marrying her, you would think that Mia would have caught on. I can't believe any woman is that clueless. She continued in a relationship with a man who obviously wasn't that devoted or in any hurry to get married.
We have no idea what was going on in Woody Allen's mind. Maybe he was stringing her along because he liked having her star in his films. Who knows?
But when he found someone he wanted to marry, he did. He's been married to Soon-Yi for twenty years.
I suppose I am in no position to explain their motives. And I surely would've been shocked if I had found out my daughter was dating my partner. It's all so weird. But again, according to Mia's memoirs, she thought Woody Allen was selfish and cold and a danger to her children. So why was she still allowing him to be part of their lives?
That's just a rhetorical question by the way. I wouldn't expect you to know either!
You did, though, single her out as "hardly lived the life of a "practicing Catholic," and being "hell and gone' from a "good Catholic girl," as well as being "slutty."
I'm sure there were previously existing problems in their relationship, part of which were hers, but how can you look past his extreme betrayal of her? SHE didn't betray him, HE betrayed HER. And in the weirdest and worst possible way.
Why are you ignoring how awful it must have been for her to come across naked spread-eagled photos of her young daughter in her long-term BF's apartment, and THAT'S how she learned about it all? How can you compare this to anything she may have done?
There are many couples who've lived together for many years who've later married. Yes, he promised to marry her AFTER she learned about his and Soon Yi's relationship. It was to manipulate and hush her up. Same as he pleaded with her to not tell Previn (who had every right to know, being Soon Yi's adoptive father), because he didn't want a scandal or to deal with Previn's (justified) wrath.
He testified it never occurred to him anyone, other than he and Soon Yi, would ever know about their sexual relationship. Seriously? What the HELL kind of adult *wouldn't* have thought about the consequences of these actions, if they had anything more than a brief fling in mind that (they hoped, but is very unlikely) would never come to light by anyone, ever? What does that say about how he viewed Soon Yi? So no, it's not like he met her and fell so madly in love with her he wanted to marry her and risk everything. Far from it.
Woody IS selfish and cold. To this day he expresses no remorse for his extraordinarily cruel and dishonest betrayal of Mia. I can't speak for her, but it seems obvious to me she thought he was cold and a danger to her and her children after he revealed himself to be exactly that. Hindsight is 20/20.
If you see this as you reap what you sow, and are honest and fair, Woody is due one HELL of a lot of unpleasant reaping. How is it he's gotten off, although he's guilty of not only breaking a multitude of commandments, but far more than she has? Why don't you speak of his reaping what he's sowed, only Mia?
"She married Frank Sinatra who was thirty years older. He dumped her after about a year because she wouldn't give up her career. She was in a relationship with Andre Previn who was cheating on his wife and gets pregnant. So why is she so judgmental about Woody Allen? She hardly took up with saintly men before him!"
She married both Sinatra and Previn when she was much younger than either of them. She's admitted to being remorseful about having an affair with Previn. Woody has never, in all of these year, expressed remorse, and has more a history of attraction to and getting involved with significantly younger woman than she has with older men. So why do you excuse him and instead place all the blame on her?
He was a crap father. At a minimum he testified that he disliked all of his children's animals, didn't know the names of their doctors, teachers, animals, friends, or even if they had any friends.
You wrote: "Whether or not she mistreated them is another issue. Soon Yi and Moses said she did, the other children say she didn't."
It is not so simple. Let's count who thinks what about Dylan's allegation.
Adopted children: Soon-Yi, Moses, Tam, Lark, Thaddeus. The first two, 21 and 14 at the time, vehemently deny the allegation (Moses being a personal witness during that afternoon). The other three have fallen victim to depression, have self-destructed, and are now dead. We can't ask them anymore about how they enjoyed the Farrow household.
Non-adopted child Ronan: vehemently supports the allegation. He was 4 years old at the time and has no personal recollection of the afternoon. He has to go by what Mia and Dylan tell him.
All of the other children, either biological or adopted, have not spoken out about the allegation. You can *presume* that this means they agree with Mia, while I can *presume* that they keep silent out of fear for Mia.
In sum: you are wrong by saying "the other children say she didn't". There's only Dylan and Ronan who have spoken out - and they were not the victims of Mia's alleged mistreatment.
I advise you to read Moses' blog, if you haven't done so already:
http://mosesfarrow.blogspot.com
"Thirdly, in all these years, no other individual has come forth to claim Allen sexually assaulted them. Nobody."
As far as I know, that's true.
"Mia Farrow remains furious all these years later for the (admittedly gross) relationship between Allen and Soon Yi."
Mia has actually said little over the years, but it does appear she's like a dog with a bone. As a mother, she'd of course want to stand by her daughter, and would have felt both betrayed and guilty by Woody and Soon Yi's actions, but primarily Woody's, who was an adult and should have known better. Yet, he still takes no responsibility or thinks he'd done anything wrong. I strongly suspect if he had, things wouldn't have become nearly as acrimonious as they have.
"Dylan's brother has accused Mia Farrow of physical abuse and of actively brainwashing her children into
believing Allen molested Dylan."
And all the other children say otherwise. The question is, who's telling the truth? We have no way of knowing.
Innocent until proven guilty is for courts of law. OJ Simpson was declared not guilty. Do you think he is? No legal system is perfect, sometimes guilty people go free, sometimes innocent people are convicted, sometimes there isn't enough evidence even if a crime was committed.
You wrote: "And all the other children say otherwise."
Again, you are wrong. Two adopted children deny the allegation. Three other adopted children fell victim to depression and have died. Only Ronan ('possibly' not Woody's son, in Mia's words) stands by his sister's story.
All the other children have made no public statement about their position. Not even when Dylan, Ronan and Mia have turned up the heat.
Did those three other adopted children also deny the allegations? Not as far as I know.
I'm wrong in your opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.
You've already admitted your a fan of WA. I'm neither of fan of WA or MF.
Totally agree, Mia Farrow has made a psychological mess of this person, not Woody Allen.
