(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.

I don’t remember the other movie, maybe it was that one. “Obviously” I didn’t “get” the important Fellini reference which clearly means Woody hinting in his films that he will accept young girls willing to have sex with him doesn’t mean that, at all. Because I am too dumb to understand deep intellectual games of cups.
And no, sleeping with your longtime girlfriend’s adult child is NOTHING like sleeping with your wife’s adult child, because piece of legal paper.
That wasn't ever the claim of what he did; at the time. So if you read that, lately, it's a much expanded story and I suspect a lie.
It's like now Mia claimed that Ronan is really Frank's child, which was just another huge lie from her. And Ronan went along with it, to the point of suddenly weary super blue contact lenses.
I have NO idea what your last sentence has to do with anything; however, Ronan is a big fat nothing, who has been pushed by Mia and taken up by faaaaaaaar lefties.
Being crazy and a lousy mother has a LOT to do with how most of her children ( both natural and adopted ) have always been/turned out.
If Woody had really done terrible things to Dylan, then WHY did Mia continue to be in his movies, back then ?
And WHY didn't she come out with what he supposedly did, until much later, when they finally split?
This #METOO, now, is part of boosting Ronan and his "reports" about Harvey and still part of her "revenge" against him.
And no...I am NOT "defending" Woody; just stating the facts that I know.
Just WHERE, in any of my posts did I say or even infer that you are "too dumb to understand the deep intellectual games of cups" ( whatever you mean by that ), in my post? I just posted what that movie was heavily influence by and why the story was what it was.
The great Orson Welles was also an auteur. Are you telling me that he was just like the character he wrote and portrayed in CITIZEN KANE?
Pedos have a long history of doing things to small children. Woody doesn't.
Look, I get it, you don't believe that a marriage license means anything at all and believe that just dating someone, who has children, automatically makes the man those children's father; even when he doesn't live with them, nor acts like their "father". That's your opinion and yes, you are allowed to have one, even if it's a bit strange.
And before you decide that I am attempting to excuse Woody carrying on with Soon-Yi, let me disabuse you of that thought. But they did marry are still married, appear to be happy, and that's more than you can say about his relationship with crazy Mia.
I don’t know the timeline of the abuse done to Dylan with reference to her mother still doing films and having a relationship with Woody. It doesn’t matter if Mia did not know. My mother or father never knew their entire lives (mom is still alive but has Alzheimer’s) what’s happened to me. I knew it would break their hearts. And they wold rightly blame themselves because they failed to protect me. So I chose to spare them.
You have a superior attitude even though you keep connecting non sequiturs. It is not a better argument. Stick to logic.
The great Orson Welles was also an auteur. Are you telling me that he was just like the character he wrote and portrayed in CITIZEN KANE?
You keep throwing in illogical arguments, almost non sequiturs, and it just doesn’t help your case.
Of course I am not telling you anything about citizen Kane. I am telling you that it is logically and human naturedly possible for a man to make homage references to whatever in his movies AND STILL HINT that he likes sex with young teens. It was definitely a wink in that direction even if there were deep symbolic intellectual homages.
Pedos do not always have a long history of doing things to small children. Every Pedo starts with one child. The one who got me went younger and younger after me. He was arrested with 8 counts, several against preschoolers. You’re just not using logic in your arguments.
Where the heck do you get that I don’t think a marriage license means anything? I said that when you start dating your long time woman’s adult daughter, leaving nudes of her on the mantel where her mother can find them, UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS whether you had married your woman or not makes little difference in how wrong the cheating relationship with her daughter is.
You include a line about how you are not defending Woody Allen in all your posts. But you pretty much are, aren’t you?
Thanks. I can’t carry on with her (or him?) any more. Debating needs some sort of logic to pivot arguments off.
There is no room for logic when you're busy condescending and proving how superior and smart you are.
This chick came after me in a similar way one time and got her you know what handed to her.
A very interesting piece of work.
You are seeing what you want to and making vast leaps, which my words do not impart.
No, I used the Aristotelean argument theory, re Wells and Allen. It is pure logic and goes like this: if X is so and Y is so, then XY is so.
I'm sorry that you were molested; however, I do think that your misfortune is coloring your opinion. Neither you nor I nor anyone else was there at the time, and because Mia and Woody were fighting over the custody of his child with her and the two that they had adopted together, she, as many people do under trying times, said the vilest of things about him, to thwart him.
If you choose to not see his films, because of your assumptions about what happened, are you also applying this to a whole host of other films and books, by terrible people ( with proven despicable acts )throughout history?
Most of the stuff about Woody and Mia comes from Carter Graydon’s Vanity Fair piece which was approved by Mia and Mia’s mother, Maureen O’Sullivan. That Graydon murders people with prose is nothing new. Long before Sidney Zion became a dear friend of mine (may he rest in peace), he did a murderous article on Sidney and his dead daughter, Libbie. I bought it hook, line and sinker until I learned the real story: that Sidney and his wife, Elsa, were loving parents (not neglectful party animals) and that the overworked doctors made huge mistakes with their patient. That taught me all I needed to know about Vanity Fair. It was and is a despicable publication.
And one other thing: you are right in that too many mothers claim sexual abuse in order to gain custody.
Oh, Stardust Memories. As I recall, the dame in that movie - aside from girlfriend Jessica Harper - was Charlotte Rampling, a grown woman. Not my favorite of his, btw, although he shot it in Ocean Grove, NJ and bought the Methodist community there the large, illuminated cross that now hangs on its magnificent auditorium. When he filmed at the National Arts in Gramercy Park, he bought them a gorgeous awning for the front of the building.
The only laugh I got out of the movie was depressed Woody’s photographic mural in his film apt. of the famous shot of the South Vietnamese guy being shot by a North Vietnamese. Now that’s NYC angst!
You are remarkably consistent in the absence of logic in your arguments.
I’m not going back to Search, but I believe You said that if I had the opinion that woody sneaked a bit of a wink to his lust for young girls into his oeuvre, it necessitated other filmmakers (orson welles?) being exactly like their characters. Please show me any X and Y logic there.
If we couldn’t comment on activities where none of us were present, we couldn’t have message boards. I believe what Dylan has written about her abuse at the hands of her father. Her brother’s passionate stance and action solidify my belief. I did not have to be there in order to believe.
We never spoke on whether I would watch a Woody Allen film. As a young girl I was a fan. Good thing he didn’t know me then, isn’t it? Now, I choose not to voluntarily see his films. One night I was surfing and came upon a movie and loved it, it was as if it was written for me personally. Watched the rest of it before learning it was his fantasy time travel movie about Paris, and I was disgusted I’d watched it. But yes, I realize lots of art and literature were produced by people who were not good. We all have to live with that. Half the time we have no idea something we enjoyed was created by a relative monster. I would prefer not to give living pedophiles any $ so I do what I can.
Soon Yi Previn is the step-daughter of Andre Previn.
Whether it is divorce or child custody cases, many women lie through their collective teeth, to "get back" at the man and now, even lesbians are doing this.
Oh, lesbians are going after other lesbians? Talk about chickens coming home to roast!
Didn't know about his "gifts"; great stories and thanks for telling them!
What about it
It’s basically a rip-off of Fellini’s 8 1/2.
Evidence talks opinions walk
You claimed that a character in some movie, that you have no idea what it was titled, some how "proved" that Woody did something to Dylan.
So I used Orson Welles ( someone else who is famous for writing, directing, and acting in his movies ) and specifically, "CITIZEN KANE", disproving that just because an autuer does all of the previous stated things, does NOT translate into it being, in some way, auto-biographical.
I truly hope that the above explanation helps you to now understand it all. As I stated, it is the Aristotelian logic/debate method.
Mia coached Dylan and also Ronan, back then, and now they are both convinced that what they say is true., Nobody who was there, at the time, says it is true!
Like you, I am NOT going to do a search, but you did post that you would never see one of his movies now. And frankly, whatever movies of Woody's you may have seen and enjoyed, in the past, don'/t count for much, since you can't remember the titles of them.
Oh good grief...you don't even know the title of a movie you watched on T.V. and loved ( it's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS and a great movie ), that you did NOT pay for, and now hate.
Maybe YOU don't know about the people whose movies you watch, before seeing them, but many others do. It's easy, especially on T.V., all you have to do is push a button and it'll tell you, on your screen the year it was made, who is in it, and who directed it. See...easy! :-)
And please don't flatter yourself, re Woody.
For starters, Dylan was 7 at the time of the supposed incident, he NEVER had done anything like he was accused of, before, nor afterwards. And judging from his past marriages and dating history/relationship history, you aren't his "type"; not many people are.
