Bravo.


A celebrity not turning a blind eye to child abuse. Yes, it is sick that we laud abusers - I can imagine Dylan's pain. I am so sorry that River Phoenix did not have Hollywood advocates. Maybe Allen should dedicate a building to Dylan in the name of peace. She (Dylan) is a brave girl, and I’m happy that she’s here to share her story. In my opinion, Allen’s relationship with Soon-Li only further showed his proclivity for young girls. Didn't anyone else catch that?

No, NOT "bravo." It has NEVER been PROVEN that Woody Allen sexually
abused Dylan. In fact, several of her siblings dispute it, and have
gone on record as stating that their mother, Mia Farrow, "brainwashed"
her children into hating Allen and calling him abusive. Several have
also noted that SHE could be physically and emotionally abusive, and
that when she got angry they were terrified of her.

It should also be noted that no other person has accused Allen of such
behavior. Child molesters, or victims of sexual abusers (Cosby), usually
have many, many coming out and stating similar stories. This has not
happened with Allen.

I am NOT defending Allen or stating that he is necessarily innocent. But
I do not condone passing sentence when there are so many holes in this
story. I do not buy his being guilty just on these rantings alone.
Furthermore, it is totally inappropriate for Susan Sarandon to pass
judgment when she wasn't THERE.

There is no denying the Soon Yi thing is weird, and one cannot blame
Farrow for loathing Allen. But she is one twisted lady and her
rage has left her pretty much detached from reality. She is also a
hypocrite of the highest degree. She herself was banging Sinatra when
she was barely legal herself. She also gave birth to his son, long
after their divorce and DURING her relationship to Allen.

Sarandon is no longer cool. Her personal opinion and thoughts on Allen
should've remained that - PERSONAL. To disparage a peer at Cannes like
she did is totally irresponsible.

Well, I'm not a judge - nor a jury. I only have the court reports, which seem to favor Dylan's account. As for the other children, I've only read Moses' account that Allen and Dylan were never alone, yet there was a nanny who wrote a book and stated that they were alone for no more than 15 to 20 minutes. A total contradiction, wouldn't you say? The fact that he (Allen) had nude photos of Soon-Yi at 18 (or younger) creeps me out.

And Frank Sinatra was NOT Farrow's parental figure.

If you're asking people not to judge, it seems as if you have already judged Dylan, Mia, and Susan Sarandon.

I'm judging the FACTS: Sarandon's statement is FACT. And inappropriate.
Farrow's comments and rantings are FACT. Dylan's account hasn't been
PROVEN and therefor ISN'T fact.

I've already stated the Soon Yi thing (fact) is weird. VERY weird. But
it's ancient history and they are now MARRIED and have children. It's
pointless to even go there now, and it has no bearing whatsoever or
whether Allen did or did not abuse Dylan.

Bottom line: SS is totally out of line. Her PUBLIC comment, at Cannes
no less, was disgusting and should NOT be greeted with "bravo." Period.

And bold. There, I changed a letter.

Read it for yourself: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/may/15/susan-sarandon-cannes-woody-allen-donald-trump

It says she attempted to shut down the reporter.

Oh well, she tried.

(And I think the same thing she does.)

gbennett5, since you are judging facts, only TWO of Farrow's children have spoken against Farrow. Not SEVERAL as you stated. Those two being, his wife Soon Yi and his son, Moses.

yet there was a nanny who wrote a book and stated that they were alone for no more than 15 to 20 minutes. A total contradiction, wouldn't you say?But there was another nanny who discredits her.Monica Thompson, Mia’s nanny, charged that: “Ms. Farrow set the stage to report the incident involving Dylan. For several weeks, Ms. Farrow insisted that Mr. Allen not be left alone with Dylan and wanted me to be with them at all times.” Monica also said in her deposition: “On several occasions Ms. Farrow asked me if I would be ‘on her side.’ Ms. Farrow has tried to get me to say that I would support her with these accusations.” Monica added that almost immediately after the alleged incident, Moses indicated doubts about what, if anything, had taken place: “Moses came over to me and said that he believes that Ms. Farrow had made up the accusation that was being said by Dylan,” Monica said in the sworn affidavit.

She was in her late teens/early twenties.

She also gave birth to his son, long
after their divorce and DURING her relationship to Allen. Sinatra's family disputes this and said he was impotent at the time.

If anything, Ronan resembles the Farrows.

If Mia really felt Frank was the father, then how come she never brought this up during her custody battle with Woody? Ever think about that?
