Dylan Farrow: Why does Woody Allen get a pass?
cnn.com ^ | 12/8/17 | Lisa Respers France

Posted on 12/08/2017 1:32:54 PM PST by ColdOne

(CNN)Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, is asking why the director has not suffered the same fate as other powerful men in Hollywood accused of sexual misconduct. In an opinion piece published by the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, Farrow describes her anger over Allen maintaining his career, despite her allegation that he sexually assaulted her in their home when she was seven years old. Farrow first shared her account with Vanity Fair in 2013.

Allen has consistently denied the allegation and was not criminally charged.

Mia didn't want to get married and he NEVER lived with her; she had her apartment on the West side and he had his on the East side of central Park.

He didn't "shoplift" anything and Yoon-Yi was never "his child" in any way at all.

I wouldn’t call her mother “great”; but both she and her husband had great “pull”.

Indeed. Anybody who uses an Albert-system ax for Dixieland can’t be all bad.

> marrying the adoptive daughter of your wife [lover, actually] —the words “daughter of your wife” stick in my craw <

You’re right. And here’s another problem. I don’t care how crazy Mia is, or how distant she was from her adoptive daughter.

It’s one thing to lose your lover. But it’s not unusual. People break up all the time. What is unusual is losing your lover to your daughter. That would have to cause deep, searing pain.

A real man, a decent man, would not inflict that kind of mental torture on a woman. Allen just had to have the daughter? In a world full of eligible women, he just had to have the daughter?

Woody Allen can go to hell.

This thread represents the worst of free Republic.
1. It is clear that woody Allen never had much morality on display.
2. This woman shared her extremely believable story of Allen’s grooming her and moving into putting his hands in her privates.
3. Her brother knows this is true. He has disowned his “father” (probably not genetic anyway) and changed his name, and it is 100% due to his knowledge of how Hollywood covers for their “talented pedophiles” that we now are getting rid of the worst of these predators.

Those of you defending woody Allen’s pedophilia make
Me ill.

Again, Ronan Farrow is Woody’s biologic son. As you have admitted, he is an absolute dead ringer for John Farrow, Mia’s father (who was a nutcase all by himself), not Frank Sinatra. Ronan’s original name was Satchel, named after the baseball player Satchel Paige. That would not be a name Frank would come up with but it would be a Woody choice.

I don’t know whether Dylan is telling the truth. I do know that the famous video was edited by Mia and that we now know that fake impressions can be implanted in young minds. Her brother, Moses Farrow, who was in the household at the time, disputes this story.

No one here supports pedophilia. But Mia Farrow is a left-wing nutcase (just visit her facebook page) and she cannot get beyond what happened to her many years ago and the pedophilia charges were never proven. I get that she’s bitter but she might want to focus on the brilliant roles Allen wrote for her which secures her reputation as a fine film actress for all time. Weirdly - in a now forgotten fact - soon after she found out about Woody & Soon Yi, Mia still showed up on the set demanding her costumes! Another clue to Mia’s elevator not going to the top floor.

I resent that anyone would accuse anyone here of supporting child rape!

Miss, I love you but I really really believe Dylan was raped by Woody. Raped, groomed, using the worst of the worst, parental love, to make a small child submit to his sexual gratification. That is indeed child rape.

I know you have acting connections and I trust you that Mia is a piece of work and nuts. I don’t care. Sure, she has motivations to lie about Woody. But the truth could be that both people are flawed. I still stand that Woody is a real pedo. And that Ronan’s passion, which has GREATLY HELPED CHANGE THE WORLD RE powerful men abusing the helpless, came from his deep anger at the REAL PEDOPHILIA against his dear sister. He pushed against the Hollywood / famous people machine and won. I couldn’t be happier. He and I are politically opposite but we agree on this. Powerful men should not be allowed to use their power to sexually abuse others.

And while I may have agreed Ronan resembles his maternal grandfather, he also resembles to an uncanny degree Frank Sinatra. I’d bet 4 figures on that genetic outcome. Plus if you are a fellow Israelite you must have jewdar like me and you must clearly see Ronan ain’t of Jew descendance. ;) And for sure not of Woody Allen sperm.

I like you too but your ideas are nothing more than imagination. You don’t know about Dylan Farrow anymore than I do. And just because Ronan Farrow doesn’t look like Woody means nothing. He doesn’t look anything at all like Sinatra’s children who all bear a resemblance to that great singer but sadly without any of his good looks. Well, maybe Tina’s attractive. She looks like her mom.

It has always been accepted that Woody was Ronan’s father until Mia, in a truly evil turn, decided to question in public his paternity. That came what? 20 years after the kid was born? Who does that to a kid?

My friend, Sidney Zion, always said that Barbara Sinatra curtailed Sinatra’s activities in old age - to the point where no one could get him on the phone. To think that he’d be able to have a liaison with Mia at that point is truly absurd.

My ideas are not imagination. I read and believed Dylan’s open letter to the public about what her father did to her. We already know Woody doesn’t have sexual boundaries. He admitted to dating underaged girls forever and he put a lot of that into his movies. He dated and married a barely of age stepdaughter. It is logic and common sense that Allen doesn’t have sexual boundaries.

I have been in situations like Dylan though not as young. When the man doing the abuse is a pillar of society no one would believe you. I believe her. Even if I wasn’t there and couldn’t prove it. I wasn’t near any of Cosby’s victims while he played with their unconscious bodies, but I believe them too.

Ronan is nothing if not smart. He is a busy man with a promising career and lots of charitable activities. He didn’t take this stand for fame or fortune. He did it from the passionate anger that comes from having his repulsive father rape his helpless sister. He didn’t take no for an answer, didn’t let the threats to his life scare him off, and he brought down the first domino, Weinstein, singlehanded,y, and opened the floodgates.

I don’t know who genetically fathered him but he looks remarkably, to me, like a combo of Mia and Frank. I have no clue but that is what he looks like to me. He sure doesn’t resemble Woody.

I give up. But I will say one thing: Woody has not had a history of dating “young girls.” Maybe you got that from the movie Manhattan. In fact he was married to Louise Lasser and had long liaisons with Diane Keaton & Jessica Harper. All grown women. And Woody is NOT Soon Yi’s stepfather.

In two earlier movies he dated or slept with teens. One was Manhattan where his girlfriend was 17. In another, a teen fan was hiding in his bedroom to sleep with him and he loooks att he camera, shrugs, and turns out the light. I believe somewhere on this thread was a quote from woody about sleeping with young girls in which he “jokes” and admits to having done it.

And no Soon Yi was not TECHNICALLY his step daughter because he and Mia did not have a marriage license for all their many years of being a couple. Same damn thing.

If the other movie is STARDUST MEMORIES, it is NOT auto-biographical at all, but as with several other of his movies, is an "homage"/takeoff of two movies by other directors ( Fellini and Ingmar Bergman ), which obviously you didn't get.

Woody NEVER married Mia, did NOT treat most of those kids as his own/wasn't a father figure to them, and also never lived with them as part of the family.

Woody NEVER "raped" Dylan and that was NOT what she accused him of doing.

If you want to talk about a young girl and a MUCH older man, then concentrate on Mia and Frank Sinatra,whom SHE went after. If it hadn't been for her crazy parents, Frank, and mostly Woody, she would NEVER have had a film career and was one of THE worst actresses, EVER, until Woody put her into his movies and made her into one.

Ronan is another no talent nutter, who has been brainwashed and pushed by Mia, from the time he was born. And most people who know the story of this family, don't believe, for a N.Y. Minute, that Ronan did all of the scut work that went into the recent expose.

She did just that and Mia has been a looney since she was young. Age hasn’t helped her immaturity and mental problems; sadly.

Yes, inserting things into a child’s vagina is rape. What planet you from?

Look, how crazy your mother might be doesn’t change you being a victim of child rape. Non sequitur.

Talent of or grunt work done by your brother doesn’t change one iota of Dad having raped you.

Sheesh.
