In reply to the discussion: Mia Farrow suggests that son Ronan Farrow might be Frank Sinatra’s [View all]pnwmom
(110,261 posts)I think if the molestation accusations had happened more recently, he would have been treated very differently than he was in the 90's. He's a creep.
From a Vanity fair article in 1992, when Ronan was named Satchel:

No such favoritism was shown toward four-and-a-half-year-old Satchel, Woodys own son by Mia. Father and son seemed to have been allergic to each other from the start. Mia told friends that Woody appeared to be disturbed by her cesarean, from which she took a long time to recover; he was aghast at her nursing, particularly at a tube device that carried milk from a bottle down next to her nipple during the first week to give the baby formula when her own milk didnt come in immediately, as well as at the fact that Satchel wasnt fully weaned until he was two and a half. She said that Woody referred to the baby, who cried a lot, as the little bastard, and that once, when Satchel kicked Woody, Woody twisted Satchels leg until he screamed, and said, Do that again and Ill break your legs. On another occasion, Satchel poked Dylan in the eye in Woodys presence. Woody scooped up the little girl, cradled her in his arms, and railed obscenely at Satchel. I just dont buy it when a parent becomes so constantly angry at such a little boy, says Casey Pascal, who witnessed the scene. Pascal, Mias friend since boarding-school days in England, also has a seven-year-old, plus twins Satchels age, and often visits Mia both in the country and in the city. Woody clearly said he wanted a girl. Satchel was wrong from the beginning for him.
