"He said, he said, he said, he said, he said, he said,” (Allen's High-POWERED PR machine}

According to the docuseries, that narrative of Farrow as a vengeful woman scorned went far and wide in the press, a move family friends of Farrow's called an attempt to distract from Dylan's allegations.

On that summer day in 1992, when Allen visited Farrow's home, babysitter Kristi Groteke noticed Dylan was missing. Groteke searched for her, according to her 1993 testimony excerpted for the doc, and testified Dylan was gone for "roughly 20 minutes."

Former Connecticut state attorney Frank Maco says in the series that Allen refused to take a polygraph test administered by Connecticut state police, but instead took a private test.

"View" co-host and attorney Sunny Hostin and Stephen P. Herman, a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness for Farrow who were interviewed for the docuseries also questioned the validity of a report from Yale-New Haven Hospital's Child Sexual Abuse Clinic

A separate investigation by New York authorities into Allen's alleged assault of Dylan, may have been covered up,

"In the end, the result was that people with power were able to get the case removed," Steinem says in the episode. "It just seemed to me from everything I could glean as a reporter to be a case of great injustice."

Farrow says she thought Allen "was all-powerful" and could influence the Yale-New Haven Hospital and authorities in New York, given the money his movies filmed in New York earned for the city. And Allen wasn't going down without a fight. He sued Farrow for custody of Dylan, Moses (their adopted son) and Ronan Farrow.

on June 7, 1993, New York State Supreme Court Justice Elliott Wilk found the evidence "established that Ms. Farrow is a caring and loving mother" and that "there is no credible evidence to support Mr. Allen's contention that Ms. Farrow coached Dylan."

It was also Wilk's opinion that "Mr. Allen's behavior toward Dylan was grossly inappropriate and that measures must be taken to protect her,"

Dylan, in an interview with filmmakers, remembers the severing of ties with her father. "It wasn't framed as, 'You're never gonna see your father again,'" she recalls. "It was framed as, 'Do you ever want to see him again?' And I didn't.

If an attempt was made to "RETURN to his PAST" again, Perhaps this next section of FOOTNOTE 22 explains the reason why DYLAN said that WOODY SMASHED her face down into a HOT PLATE of food at the dinner table back when she was still a child:

In 1986, Nettie (WOODY's MOTHER) was a woman of seventy-eight, a resident of Manhattan's Upper East Side, living rent-free at her son's expense in one of the new apartment high-rises. Woody sat his mother on a chair, facing the camera.

"Did you hit me?" he asked from behind the camera. Making a documentary about her life and the life of Mia Farrow's mother, actress Maureen O'Sullivan, two women who seemed to share nothing in common, seemed like an intriguing idea. "Mia's mother was a movie star all her life and knew nothing else," he explained afterward. "She was Tarzan's mate. She had a Beverly Hills pool and hung around with Bogart and all these people." Maureen was a thoroughbred filly, whereas his own mother was a plow horse, "a typical Jewish-neighborhood cliché in every way," he said.

The tiny, snowy-haired woman was squinting.

"I remember you would hit me every day when I was a child."

Hit him? she asked incredulously. What did that mean? That she whipped him?

"No, but you were always slapping me."

His insistence on dredging up the past made her testy.

Of course she smacked him. What did he expect, a saint? He was a stubborn kid, never listening to her when she corrected him, jumping around and pulling off his clothes, making her crazy. But she refused to stand for any monkey business. "You were too active and too much of a child for me," she said. "I wasn't good to you because I was very strict, which I regret."

Her daughter, on the other hand, had been a cuddly docile child. "I was much sweeter to Letty than I was to you," she reminded him.


Two Mothers was harder than he anticipated. He never finished it.

In addition to WOODY abusing DYLAN by SHOVING her face into the plate of HOT FOOD (simply because she'd called him by his name WOODY), we also have this other account that he also abused his son RONAN (who was called Satchel at the time).

‘Allen v. Farrow’ Lead Investigator Amy Herdy Hits Back at Woody Allen Defenders

One thing that Allen v. Farrow doesn’t really delve into, because I suppose it’s a whole other can of worms, is Allen’s treatment of Satchel. What did you discover about Allen’s treatment of him? According to Orth’s report, Allen’s nickname for Satchel was “the little bastard,” and he would administer corporal punishment. Once, Allen allegedly twisted Satchel’s leg so hard he screamed, and then Allen threatened to break his legs.

And that quote is actually in Judge Wilk’s custody decision, and it’s presented in the finding of fact. When a judge releases a verdict, they give what’s called the “finding of fact.” They say, I believe this testimony. I’m not repeating it as someone taking an allegation; I’m repeating it as a finding of fact. And Wilk put that exact quote, about Woody Allen saying, “I’m going to break your fucking leg,” in his finding of fact.

Here's a review of the BOOK that was found in FOOTNOTE 22 at the WIKIPEDIA website that sums up ALLEN as being:

self-involved, misogynist, egotistical, inconsiderate, isolated and stagnant.

Deconstructing Woody

A new biography of the filmmaker analyzes a life as complex as one of his movies.

He married the 17-year-old Harlene Rosen when he was 20

the final two-thirds of the 384 pages in ''The Unruly Life of Woody Allen'' are devoted to Allen's relationships with Mia Farrow and Soon-Yi Previn, and the preceding pages, as the prologue indicates, are essentially designed to lay the groundwork.

his commercial popularity, as measured by movie grosses, has plummeted from a high of $45.7 million for ''Manhattan'' (1979) to $5 million for ''Celebrity'' (1998),

Basically, ''The Unruly Life of Woody Allen'' follows what has become, unfortunately for him, the consensus of opinion on its subject, depicting him as

self-involved, misogynist, egotistical, inconsiderate, isolated and stagnant.

And there certainly isn't much evidence out there that contradicts this portrait, including the evidence that can be inferred from Allen's work.

Allen was in analysis for 40 years, and although he chose to make a joke out of that fact, that does not mean it is one -- both in his work and in interviews, he frequently described himself as depressed or evinced the symptoms of depression, at one point telling an interviewer that not a day went by that he did not think about suicide. His rigidly controlled modus vivendi (the very opposite of unruly, despite Meade's title), with its reliance on a severely limited orbit of the same people, the same daily routine, the same foods and the same restaurants, suggests in itself a chronic disturbance.

Allen's relationship to his mother, which, again, he has himself often characterized in terms that could be translated as abusive and negligent, is surely worth more than the occasional line or two that ''The Unruly Life of Woody Allen'' devotes to it. Given Farrow's avocation for parenthood, Previn's relationship to her and the indelible blot these things have left on Allen's life, the marriage of Woody and Soon-Yi could be viewed as an attempt to make the mother disappear, only to find her dominating the landscape at every turn. Didn't Allen once make a movie that was something like that?
