Ronan Farrow is as despicable as his crazy mother.

reply

Don't forget Allen's ''crazy'' daughter Dylan Farrow who has consistently maintained her entire life with no motive or incentive to lie, (such as money) that Woody Allen sexually abused her as a child. Of course it could have been Mia Farrow's master psi ops skills that planted a false memory that stuck for life. That's a popular one.

reply

DYLAN IS ONLY EVER MENTIONED OR REMEMBERED WHEN SHE OPENS HER MOUTH ABOUT WOODY....

reply

Maintaining a lie such as that, being abused by your own father for your entire life just so you can be "barely" be mentioned from time to time in the media seems a bitch of a stretch. A person that desperately narcissistic would certainly try to get money out of it somehow along the way. That she hasn't makes her all the more credible. Taking into account the Allen's verified creepy and questionable behavior & Dylan maintaining her story (with supporting witnesses) without any inconsistencies or clear motives to lie makes her perhaps the most credible high profile sexual abuse victim I know of.

reply

HER STORY THAT WENT FROM 0 TO 60 AFTER A LUNCH WITH HER MOTHER..ITS WELL DOCUMENTED.

reply

Sounds legit.... Seriously though I can buy someone manipulating a child into making a short term false accusation but not unflinchingly maintaining the lie their entire life, all the way to adulthood, free of any suspicious ulterior motives. That I find very hard to believe

reply

I ONLY SPEAK ON THE MATTER BASED ON A PERSONAL FAMILY EXPERIENCE...A FAMILY MEMBERS DAUGHTER MADE OUT OF NO WHERE CLAIMS,DAD WAS ARRESTED...DURING THE TRIAL DAD CAME UP WITH SOME DECENT EVIDENCE TO HIS ADVANTAGE AT WHICH TIME MOM DISAPEARED INTO MEXICO WITH DAUGHTER...THEY FINALLY FOUND THEM,DAD GOT VISITS,DAUGHTER HATED HIM AND TREATED HIM TERRIBLY,TURNED 18 AND NO ONE HAS SEEN HER SINCE...MOM HAS TOLD OTHERS POINT BLANK SHE ENGINEERED THE ENTIRE THING...DAUGHTER TILL THE DAY SHE VANISHED WAS CONVINCED IT HAPPENED.
IVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT RIDINGAN ELEPHANT WHEN I WAS A KID.I DONT REMEMBER IT,BUT I REMEMBER IT
CAUSE IVE BEEN TOLD IT HAPPENED.

reply

Jeez. Why are you typing in all caps? It's very much an eye sore. In any case Dylan Farrow's claim is a lot more straightforward & believable. She also has very credible first hand witnesses, directly related to Allen.

Given Woody Allen's creepy, questionable behavior. Marrying one of his adopted daughters (That she wasn't "legally" adopted by Allen doesn't make it less creepy)
and other inappropriate behavior (climbing into their bed at night in his underwear and making Dylan suck his thumb. Major WTF) mentioned by another one of Allen's now adult children. I feel bad for Dylan Farrow but at the end of the day Woody Allen isn't the only Holyweird pedo being protected by the corrupt industry.

reply

She doesn't need money. She's already rich from Mia. I don't think it's a stretch; maybe she convinced herself that the lie is true because now she's someone "important" rather than just a noone who lied about a legend.

reply

Or she may even truly believe it happened, even if it didn't. Her brother Moses believed it, until he was old enough to question it; now he's firmly on Woody's side of this issue & has stated that Mia essentially implanted the whole story in their young & malleable minds, as far as he's concerned. Remember, they were just small children at the time, not unlike the McMartin School children, or many of the other 1980s Satanic sex abuse case that turned out to be generated by well-intentioned investigators … who believed the most horrific & fantastic stories themselves, even to the point of reality-defying absurdity.

Our only honest response to this particular story is that we just can't know what the truth of it is. But a preponderance of evidence does seem to support Woody. No other accusers have ever appeared, unusual in pedophile cases, where there's always more than one victim. And until or if some solid evidence does appear, I still have to go with innocent until proven guilty.

And if the story does turn out to have been implanted, then Mia's the abuser here, not Woody.

reply

I read an article awhile ago which basically said, "Okay, so if we're supposed to believe the victims, why do we believe one victim (Dylan) over the other (Moses)?"

I'll try to find it back, but that was essentially the thesis. I thought it was a fair point.

It's baffling to me that people who demand Woody's head completely ignore Moses and his statements.

reply

This, exactly.

reply

Well said. Also it should be known that Ronan admitted during an interview that he's got psychiatric issues and is on meds. Why does that matter? Because psych meds alter reality, i.e. you can't be an objective reporter and med taker also, imho.

reply

Polygraph everyone involved. Case closed.

reply

Yes, it was proven long ago (1992) that Mia and Dylan are liars, but these Me Too thugs are bullying Michael Pietsch into stopping Woody's memoir. I hope they fail!

reply

I agree. And I cannot believe how the world has become - finger-pointing, taking sides of supposed "victims", despite
lack of proof. As for The-creepy-blonde-one, Allen is NOT his father. Frank Sinatra has that distinction (and Mia herself has
hinted at it, with great, SICK, gloating comments).

This is not the only ridiculous case to go to Nazi-like extremism.

Last year, a weather forecaster, who had worked at his TV station for many years, warned of rain near Martin Luther
King Jr. Park. He was talking fast, and said something to the effect of, "and for those of you strolling through martin
Luther Kun-King Park..." It was said so fast, he himself didn't even realize the goof. It was a Friday. He went home,
only to have the black female mayor demand he be fired (didn't she have more pressing matters to attend to?), and
thousands calling the station, demanding he be canned. On Monday morning, he was fired, with the (cowardly)
manager caving in to public "mob mentality" and stating "this won't be tolerated at this station." He was also
fired because he didn't apologize for the (obvious) error right after. When the meteorologist was interviewed by
his wife, he explained it was a slip of the tongue, and despite years on the station (and no other history of offensive
comments), he remained fired.

I watched the tape of the mistake on Youtube, and even a four-year old would recognize this man (barely) made
a mistake. I was sick to my stomach.

This is what the world has come to.

reply

I just saw the clip you mean, with Jeremy Kappell from last year. Yes, so obvious just a slip of the tongue where he mixed up King and Junior. Whomever the idiots that fired him are should be fired themselves!

There is no proof that Ronan is Frank's son. Yes, he looks more like him than Woody, but still. Maybe someday he'll have a DNA test. Anyway, the update is now that the publisher just caved to pressure and they are "pulping" the book. I hope Woody can have it published by someone of courage and integrity that this one obviously lacks!

reply


No proof? Let's see, he has Mia's blonde fairness, but Sinatra's likeness. SHE was the first person to suggest
(without anyone bugging her about it) that Frank was Ronan's father. Mia had on-again, off-again affairs
with her elderly ex-husband.

As Allen has pointed out, she mentions the huge age-gap between Soon Yi (you know, her "disowned"
adopted daughter) and Woody, but conveniently forgets that she was TWENTY when she married
twice-divorced FIFTY year-old Sinatra.

reply

Yes, Woody and Frank were not the first celebrities to marry girls much younger than themselves. But in both cases the women were adults, if in Mia's case 19 is considered that.

reply

Soon-Yi Previn was 27 when she married Woody Allen.

It's actually rather ironic, all the discussion of her age, because even SHE does not know her exact age. She was an abandoned child wandering the streets when she was found. The court gave her a birth date. They presumed that she was six.
Who knows? She may have been older. She was eating through garbage cans and obviously malnourished. Malnutrition stunts growth and development.

reply

Coo coo for Cocoa Puffs! Ronan has been programmed from birth to be one of crazy Mia's robot duplicates. I'm not a big fan of Woody's. But, he was cleared by the NYPD and a major university who sent their psychology staff to investigate the allegations and interview the alleged victim.

Rarely do these cases actually go through a legal process. But, this did on two fronts. It's over.

reply

I guess it's not like the NYPD ever botched an investigation due to corruption or incompetence. I don't suppose Woody Allen being a powerful & well connected Hollyweird director could have possibly had an effect on anything to do with how that investigation ran out of steam.

Ultimately though, as sad as it is, I doubt Dylan Farrow will ever get any sort of meaningful justice & Hollyweird is one big corrupt pedo-fest anyway so they will never turn their back on their boy Woody Allen just because he likely molested his daughter as she as always maintained.

reply

Mia Farrow was also "powerful." Two celebrities in a dispute. I don't see either one winning out over the other when it comes to the NYPD's investigation.

Listen, if you hate Hollywood so much, don't see any of their movies, watch their TV shows, etc. Simple as that.

reply

What would justice look like for the crime he was accused of ... touching her one time in attic, with no corroboration, no witnesses, conflicting or false evidence, and no history of every doing anything like that before or since.

reply

He did not molest anyone. And singling out Hollywood as a ''corrupt pedo-fest'' for what happens in EVERY city or state, and to the same degree, is naive.

And if the roles were reversed with an older woman/younger man, you couldn't care less since young men must not be as sensitive, etc. Typical lynch mob-mentality at work, along with the double-standard. And before you think of calling anyone a pedo-defender, learn what the definition of the word means, for your own sake.

reply

I believe Woody Allen molested his daughter Dylan Farrow as she has maintained her entire life, which is supported by another of Allen's children & most likely molested his 'unofficially' adopted daughter as he groomed her into being his future wife. I never suggested that Hollyweird being the "corrupt pedo fest" that it is has anything to do with random pedophile cases but its tendrils are long reaching and very influential in California and New York especially. This was a matter of "one of their own" being exposed.

I actually oppose the lynch mob approach to these things. I look at these situations on a case to case basis. There are some accused people who I believe are completely innocent & others I believe are guilty. I also don't attack people who simply choose to believe different on this but based on what I've seen and heard about the Woody Allen situation I strongly believe him to be a daughter molesting pedophile.

reply

As opposed to slamming the media for coddling his real father, Frank Sinatra.

reply

ANd then theres the drugging women who are beyond capacitated.
I think a lot of celebrities do that, that's next leval.
It wouldn't be that big a deal if they weren't breaking Gods laws and mans laws.

reply

Not one shred of evidence in this case. Only accusations from an obviously brainwashed child an her shady half brother who won't even come out with his own dubious family backstory. Woody might be a prick but there's nothing to see here.
Next.

reply

Right on!

reply

And he might not be, considering that Mia Farrow has been accused of doing all of this nonsense to get child support from Woody who is probably not even Ronan's real father. Everything Ronan is has mostly been due to Woody's support. Ronan's accusations and position is a PR and political one, not one based on facts.

reply

I do think Woody is an arrogant narcissist that at the very least did start grooming his girlfriends daughter when she was barely adolescent. But all this other stuff seems highly dubious to me.

reply

Yes, Mia was mad about Woody's affair with Soon Yi which is understandable. But she used Dylan to get revenge on him. Was it weird of Woody to date Soon Yi his girlfriend's daughter? Yes, but a. she was an adult and b. she wasn't really Mia's daughter who had an adoption addiction. Mia was like a cult leader and her flock was her acquired possessions i.e. her adopted kids. All this other stuff reminds me of all the witchhunts of the 1980s from Kelly Michaels to McMartin to the Friedmans.

reply

I too found it odd, to say the least, that someone would date a girlfriend's daughter. Odd and maybe in questionable taste, but not illegal.

Used to drive me up a wall when they referred to Soon Yi as "Woody's adopted daughter". Andre Previn was her adoptive father. It had nothing to do with Woody Allen. He never married or even lived with Mia Farrow.
