Dylan Farrow ‘grateful’ after Woody Allen memoir axed by publisher
New York Post ^ | 3/6/20

Posted on 03/06/2020 3:07:20 PM PST by nickcarraway

The daughter who has accused Woody Allen of molesting her decades ago is “in awe and so very grateful” to protesting staffers of the publisher set to put out the Oscar-winning director’s now canceled memoir.

Just over an hour after Hachette Book Group announced it had axed Allen’s April 7 set “Apropos of Nothing” book following a March 5 employee walkout, Dylan Farrow took to social media with a heartfelt reaction:

The sudden move Friday by HBG also follows scathing assertions by Dylan’s brother Ronan Farrow that he would no longer work with the company that put out his best selling Catch & Kill after learning of the Allen deal.

Ronan doing the hatchet job for Mia who’s ego won’t quit. Dylan brainwashed by vindictive mom

So is Woody a pedophile?

Let’s remember that this is a pervert who married his adopted daughter. Even people who are doubtful of Dylan herself have got to admit that obviously some sort of abuse happened to those kids.

I hate these things, because it's just impossible to tell what
the truth is.

I've never been a fan of Allen, but I do try to support fair play.

How can a guy defend himself from things like this?

I don't want the kid abused, or the adult to get away with it.
Both bother me. It's a real mess.

And Mia Farrow has done a lot of abuse to those kids, if you hear from the ones who broke away.

Definitely not okay, but I think Andre Previn adopted her, not Allen.

I wouldn't be buying his book, but I don't know if preventing these books from ever being published is a good alternative.

I’m no fan either, and he has issues, but there was an actual investigation, at the time, into these allegations, and it didn’t find anything.

“Let’s remember that this is a pervert who married his adopted daughter.”

Incorrect. Google can be your friend on things like this.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of cancel culture. Just don’t buy the book - that’s the most effective censoring, anyway.

Not defending Allan but get your facts straight. She was adopted by Farrow and Andre Previn. Allan married his girlfriend’s adopted daughter.

OJ Simpson, on record for domestic abuse at the very least, gets published, but Woody can’t?

I’m pretty much in agreement with you. I think Mia is explosive with rage at him. And in a woman, I am one, that is very dangerous.

Woody & Soon To have been married forever. He did not toy with her & then dump her. From all accounts she is very business savvy. He was not ever charged.....there was not enough evidence. So we throw someone away with a she said/he said accusation? I am not comfortable with that at all.

I am a Woody Allen fan also. Only 2 people know the truth. No one else.

“Allan married his girlfriend’s adopted daughter.”

I suspect that.s sent her on a real rampage against Allen, along with not casting her in his pictures. There’s no wonderful people in this story, it’s Hollyweird people after all, but there’s no need to make up stuff to make them look even worse.

If Woody really REALLY wanted to release this book, he always has the option of publishing it himself. I’m sure money is no object of concern.
