Some reporters have drawn connections between the press' grudging evolution on Cosby and a painful chapter in my own family's history. It was shortly before the Cosby story exploded anew that my sister Dylan Farrow wrote about her own experiences alleging that our father, Woody Allen, had "groomed" her with inappropriate touching as a young girl and sexually assaulted her when she was 7 years old.
Being in the media as my sister's story made headlines, and Woody Allen's PR engine revved into action, gave me a window into just how potent the pressure can be to take the easy way out. Every day, colleagues at news organizations forwarded me the emails blasted out by Allen's powerful publicist, who had years earlier orchestrated a robust publicity campaign to validate my father's sexual relationship with another one of my siblings.(snip)
The open CC list on those emails revealed reporters at every major outlet with whom that publicist shared relationships and mutual benefit, given her firm's starry client list, from Will Smith to Meryl Streep. Reporters on the receiving end of this kind of PR blitz have to wonder if deviating from the talking points might jeopardize their access to all the other A-list clients.
In fact, when my sister first decided to speak out, she had gone to multiple newspapers most wouldn't touch her story. An editor at the Los Angeles Times sought to publish her letter with an accompanying, deeply fact-checked timeline of events, but his bosses killed it before it ran. The editor called me, distraught, since I'd written for them in the past. There were too many relationships at stake. It was too hot for them.

Washington Post says there is no evidence to support sex abuse allegations against Bill Clinton.
Guess that’s so for Crosby as well
Roman Polanski couldn’t simply debauch a vulnerable 13 year old child, he had to sodomize her, significantly raising her chances of developing highly lethal rectal cancer, as Fatah Fawcett so unfortunately discovered. Virginal nuns have a much lower rate of cervical than average because outside of the singular wedding night experience in which a couple become safely, epidemiological initialized to one another, Dr. Jerome LeJeune taught Dr. Gisla, seamen is highly carcinogenic.
Frank Sinatra’s kid makes some good points here.
Dastardly autofill. Semen.
Everything is interconnected.
Riiiiight
Yep. There’s no way on God’s green earth that he’s Woody Allen’s biological offspring. He lucked out getting Sinatra’s genes rather than Allen’s.
I’m glad he has the guts to speak out on this troubling subject.
“The heart wants what the heart wants.”
Michael Jackson
Bill Cosby
Woody Allen
Bill Clinton
Liberals are (mostly) desperate to protect them all. I would have liked Farrow’s piece more if he had identified Hillary as an enabler of her rapist husband.
That’s frank Sinatra’s kid....
Cosby, Allen & Clinton.. They weren’t protected by the media because they were men..they were protected because they were liberal
= “my ratings are crap and I am worried about them going negative so here is a shiny object that nobody cares about you may feel free to discuss and obsess about in case there is not already enough things in your life you don’t care about. And then if you say you don’t care, then I can berate you for not caring about the women BC drugged and raped.”
If you google the Farrow family you can see the striking resemblance between Ronan Farrow, his maternal grandfather and his perverted child molesting uncle.
I avoided Woody Allen as much as possible because too much of his work had gross undertones (or was just gross). Once he married his girlfriend’s adopted daughter, who was adopted at age 6 into his home, I changed that from avoidance to a refusal to watch him. Whether or not he violated the law, he is what I consider a predator.
I feel much the same way. For nearly three decades, I have been completely unable to watch anything that has him in it.
What a creep.
There are exceptions but in general children get their cognitive abilities from their mother, not father. Nature uses the female brain as the stable baseline and males for experiments. Men have a much wider IQ bell curve than women.
Wow! That is fascinating. Had no idea. Thanks for the interesting post.
