Allen v. Farrow

Re: Allen v. Farrow

So, if Woody Allen is guilty as you maintain he is, why does that absolve Mia Farrow of any possible blame? You’re just looking at things in purely black and white terms.

If we assume that Woody is guilty then what is Mia Farrow to blame for? Objecting to her child being sexually abused ? Trying to blame Woody when he was the perpetrator? It is a black and white situation trying to pretend otherwise is ridiculous.

Have a read of this thread. I’m sorry, I don’t believe one party is entirely guilty and the other entirely innocent in a case like this - that’s all I’m saying, I’m not defending Woody Allen as you seem to think I am.

I recently read Allen's book Apropos of Nothing. Very hard for any man to make a case for defending himself in the current climate, but he did it very well. The programme in question sounds like a hatchet job.

When she was 21 she married 51 year old Ol’ Blue Eyes, she had a thing for the older man it seems.

Maybe it was a case of marrying him, or end up as the foundations of a new Highway :hehe:

Re: Allen v. Farrow

Has anyone else come forward to accuse him of child abuse? - No.
Has any actress ever accused him of anything in appropriate? - No.
Has anyone in the industry come forward with any other lurid claims? - No.
So even in the present 'Me Too' climate, not a single person in a very notorious industry has a bad thing to say about him.
Hatchet job doesn't even come close.

All of that is true.

However, having worked in child protection and on some very serious cases of abuse, while it is very rare that a child abuser only abuses one child, it is not unheard of.

I too, as other posters, found Dylan's testimony credible and reliable, backed up by child psychologists and social workers.

Allen was obsessed with Dylan and his boundaries became incredibly skewered.

Let me be clear, I actually find Mia completely unhinged - I've mentioned this in the thread. I also think Allen is a genius.

But this is about Dylan - not Mia.
