I absolutely believe Dylan believes it but that doesn't necessarily make it the truth.

And for the record I also believe he is beyond creepy for getting involved with Soon-Yi and have never felt the same way about him, or his movies, since that news broke.

Well, the authorities agree with you because they thought the child had been coached by the way she was telling her story.

But as long as we're speculating… there has long been speculation that Mia was molested by her brother, who spent time in prison for the sexual abuse of young children.

Eh? So because she mistook the little girl for another on a picture it means people see only what they want to see in regards of Woody Allen?

Yeah, it means that he clearly had no connection or relations to Soon-Yi ever, at all, before spontaneously deciding to date her at 19. :rolleyes:

He clearly spent time with her. A lot of time. You don't just decide off the bat, as soon as you end your relationship with a woman, to keep seeing her 18/19 year old adoptive daughter less than a year later...

If you truly believe that's the case, as painted by that TheDailyBeast article and him constantly saying "she could've been any girl at any party" then I have a bridge to sell you...

I think it's disturbing that some would consider the possibility of Dylan making this up. The guy married his girlfriend's daughter for goodness sake. You have to wonder how and how long he had to manipulate that little girl for in order to convince her that it's ok to have an affair with her.adopted.dad. (Whatever you'd call him in this case. Heebie jeebies everywhere)

Yeah there is always a chance that allegations are fabricated, but it's in incredibly poor taste to accuse an alleged child sexual abuse victim of lying, imo. Sends quite a message to others who have been abused by beloved public figures...

If she's lying, let Allen sue her... I will never defend the guy, he has enough money and power to do that himself. His history speaks for itself. If he wanted people to give him the benefit of the doubt, he should have lived a better life and not been a revolting lech with no conscience.

She's not lying if she believes it… but if she was coached by an unstable woman and therefore has false memory, then it isn't the truth.

That's not exactly what I read… the authorities thought the child had been coached in her story because of all the inconsistencies.

Even if Mia convinced her, the child would be telling what she thinks is the truth, but it isn't the truth at all. So she's not lying, but it's not the truth either.

In any case, I remember the criminal investigation where it was determined he was not guilty and so he was never prosecuted.

Exactly - that could definitely be a possibility. That's not inconsistent with what I said - re: Mia not having influence on the prosecutors. On the other hand, reading Maco's statements, it sounds like Mia may have actually had such an influence, which I think might be unethical conduct on Maco's part.

I'm only a couple of years older than Dylan though, so I don't really remember this story when it was happening in the early '90s.

I'm old enough to remember Mia's antics since she came on the scene and she was never stable. Her second husband, who she stole from her good friend, divorced her when she attacked one of his female fans. I was always reading odd stuff about her…

You know mia farrow?

Because aren't you the first one to talk about how stuff in the magazines, tabloids etc is all spin?

I don't either and I don't see how anyone can justify or lessen the magnitude of his actions. This man is a predator, his history speaks for itself yet he will continue to get a pass in Hollywood.

Well, it is trivialization at its finest. There is NO cross-correlation whatsoever between Mia Farrow/Frank Sinatra and Woody Allen/Soon Yi(sp?), there was NO child abuse/child manipulation/pedophilia involved, clearly you missed the point greatly.

And btw as messed up as he was also in his relationships with women, Frank Sinatra stayed loyal and threatened to send in his associates (read : Mafia) to break Allen's legs, but Mia Farrow told him not to do such a thing. But the uproar over the split with Allen had the media spiining things around and left Mia's image tarnished irretrievably. Because he is the "genius filmmaker" and Mia Farrow is the bitter woman... Oh.
Not only Mia Farrow has flaws and her relationship with Woddy Allen was a mess, it doesn't undermine by any means that Dylan Farrow was molested. However, Hollywood and the public simply seemed to ignore Mia Farrow "rantings" as that of a scorned woman going through a divorce and other bitterness.
So even if the public didn't initially believe Mia Farrow's accusations, the fact that Woody Allen married Mia's adopted daughter that he also had raised should be a red flag thus like or not, Woody Allen groomed that child into thinking it was ok to have such a twisted relationship and the he rationalized his actions by saying “The only thing unusual is that she's Mia's daughter. But she's an adopted daughter and a grown woman. I could have met her at a party or something." ...
So no, it's not a "fortunate coincidence" as some tried to rationalize it. Not only Woody Allen is sick for sure, but those that support and praise him are just beyond my understanding. So what if he has contributed to films, that doesn't give him the right to be above the law and deprive young children from their human dignity at the expense of his desires and other pulsions.

Generally speaking, people get it twisted when it's convenient. Under any other circumstances, people realize the obvious...artist put themselves into their work. But when they want to defend a pedophile, they want to claim that you can separate the art from the artist. So good on Dylan Farrow calling out those people.
