(110,336 posts)I didn't say that Soon-Yi regarded him as a father figure -- I said that the other children did. It didn't matter that they didn't share the same house; he was Ronan's father and he felt like all of theirs. That is disputed nowhere in the article. In fact, there is this quote:
"I also understand the simmering anger of Ronan Farrow (née Satchel), who has famously said of Allen, 'Hes my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression.' However, this particular dilemma might be resolved by Mias recent revelations that Ronans biological father may possibly be Frank Sinatra, whom Farrow married in 1966, when she was 21 and the crooner was 50."
I strongly disagree with the writer that if Sinatra is "possibly" Allen's father that that is a mitigating factor. Ronan was a boy when his father married his sister, and he had no hint then that someone else might be his father -- except, possibly, for the abusive way Allen had treated him.
I believe the children. They know more than this guy who was doing a documentary.
