The back-and-forth volleys among the Woody Allen and Mia Farrow families continue as Allens adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has released a statement responding to Allens piece published Friday online in the New York Times Sunday review section according to Variety.
In the Woody Allen Speaks Out article, he defended himself against Dylan Farrows post published last Saturday in the New York Times alleging that Allen had molested her at the age of 7.
Dylan Farrows response sent Friday night read as follows:
Once again, Woody Allen is attacking me and my family in an effort to discredit and silence me but nothing he says or writes can change the truth. For 20 years, I have never wavered in describing what he did to me. I will carry the memories of surviving these experiences for the rest of my life.
His op-ed is the latest rehash of the same legalese, distortions, and outright lies he has leveled at me for the past 20 years. He insists my mother brought criminal charges in fact, it was a pediatrician who reported the incident to the police based on my firsthand account. He suggests that no one complained of his misconduct prior to his assault on me court documents show that he was in treatment for what his own therapist described as inappropriate behavior with me from as early as 1991. He offers a carefully worded claim that he passed a lie detector test in fact, he refused to take the test administered by the state police (he hired someone to administer his own test, which authorities refused to accept as evidence). These and other misrepresentations have been rebutted in more detail by independent, highly respected journalists, including this most recent article here.

She wasn't legally his stepdaughter. But I agree with you. Marrying Mia's adopted daughter is concrete establishment of Woody as a scumbag. For me, that fact, plus this tidbit below make me come down on the side of believing Dylan.
10 Undeniable Facts About the Woody Allen Sexual-Abuse Allegation
#2: Allen had been in therapy for alleged inappropriate behavior toward Dylan with a child psychologist before the abuse allegation was presented to the authorities or made public. Mia Farrow had instructed her babysitters that Allen was never to be left alone with Dylan.
Actress Mia Farrow and Children Including Daughter Soon Yi Previn
“NOT stepdaughter ,, daughter of his girlfriend... GF/Mia and Woody never married.”
Is the “sin” related to incest or “just Takeing” advantage of a “close” position, kind of THE like MASTER SARGENT and the Recruits; or the President and the Intern: The poor State employee who said no and the governor of Arkansas; The woman who whose husband had just died and the PRESIDENT HAD JUST GRABBED A CUP. etc.,,
I think they’d be smarter than that, too. Weird situation since his not filing a defamation suit pretty much supports his accuser. Clinton is in the same pickle with Juanita Broaderick. She can say anything she wants and he can’t challenge it.
Is the sin related to incest or just Takeing advantage of a close position
*********************************
I see no sin in what Woody and Sun Yi , two unrelated adults , did .. their marriage appears genuine , they knew each other well before the marriage and made a decision which appears to have been an excellent decision.
non-existent memories being implanted in children
***********************************
That was a problem that made the news time after time back in the early 90’s ,, I remember one child care business in particular that was singled out.
I don’t see Woody’s behavior as unusual ,, successful man , pretty girlfriend ,, girlfriend is adamant about not committing to marriage and quite honestly is a flake ,, successful man leaves flake for a young woman he is very comfortable with and by all accounts he has treated her very well... I’ll just leave with a quote from George Burns: “I liked 18 year olds when I was 18 so why wouldn’t I like them when I’m 90?”
Poor analogy...George Burns was a darn good comedian and looked up to by many. Gracie Allen was the love of his life and George never married a woman 1/3 his age. Just sayin'...
**********************
Are you really unable to see the point I was making? Men will always be attracted to a pretty young adult woman no matter if they're age 30, 70, or 90 ... George Burns was speaking for all men.
This college girl ran for miss Florida a few years ago at age 18 ,, just found her on a search but the photo makes my point ... you'd have to be dead not to find her attractive
Woody Allen is a piece of trash........ and anyone who would nominate him for an award is full of gunk.
Are you not able to see the point I made?
There’s a lot of difference in older men finding women one third their age being attractive versus marrying them.
I’ll not waste time looking up pics of beautiful women and in fact in my view this does have something to do with allegations of molestation though not anywhere near proof of it.
