For Those of You Freaking Out About Woody Allen [View all]

I post this again:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/01/27/the-woody-allen-allegations-not-so-fast.html

"Moses Farrow, now 36, and an accomplished photographer, has been estranged from Mia for several years. During a recent conversation, he spoke of “finally seeing the reality” of Frog Hollow and used the term “brainwashing” without hesitation."

For Those of You Freaking Out About Woody Allen [View all] WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 OP

The only people freaking out are DURHAM D Feb 2014 #1

Actually, there IS a video WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #7

the author of the article implies that, not the investigators. they said "could be anything" which bettyellen Feb 2014 #24

Apparently you don't agree with the investigators WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #35

The prosecutor said he had probable cause but the 7 year old victim was too fragile. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #45

Utter nonsense...and the DA was disciplined for saying such rot.... msanthrope Feb 2014 #74

Investigators said no evidence. Prosecutor was disciplined for that statement. cui bono Feb 2014 #88

The family court judge said the report was "inconclusive" and "not reliable." pnwmom Feb 2014 #141

Pedophiles leave a trail of victims. Which don't exist here. But another celebrity punching bag KittyWampus Feb 2014 #31

I would also add: Bonobo Feb 2014 #36

"Did this event actually occur? If we’re inclined to give it a second thought, we can each believe.. bettyellen Feb 2014 #2

Agree with last paragraph. DURHAM D Feb 2014 #4

I cannot believe how many people shared links to this hatchet job- and pretend it is some bettyellen Feb 2014 #12

But let's ignore the fact that a team of investigators WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #5

never saw they suggested it was coached- and that she had no vagnal tearing doesn't mean anything. bettyellen Feb 2014 #10

I have no idea where you're getting your information WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #11

the kid could be deeply disturbed or it could be coached. So, the author left out half the quote.... bettyellen Feb 2014 #15

You say "I think" a lot. WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #18

the prosecuters final word was that there was "probable cause". I said think once, you three times. bettyellen Feb 2014 #23

And that prosecutor was reprimanded for those remarks WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #25

actually- you are the one who assumes they know the truth. I repeatedly said we do not. bettyellen Feb 2014 #28

I'm basing my opinion on the facts available and WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #30

you know "innocent until guilty" is for courts, right? I totally believe in that- in courts, LOL. bettyellen Feb 2014 #33

It's fun to watch someone look at the facts WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #34

Only courts do that. People merely have benign opinions, premises and conclusions. LanternWaste Feb 2014 #100

Dylan's account had "a rehearsed quality" WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #27

And their conclusion? Could have happened, could not have happened. bettyellen Feb 2014 #29

that is NOT their conclusion at all WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #32

"We did not come to a firm conclusion. We think that it was probably a combination." Now that is a bettyellen Feb 2014 #37

Oh, for god's sake WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #38

You are a liar. CSStrowbridge Feb 2014 #50

tell that to the LIAR who claimed they said she WAS coached....there were conflicting opinions all bettyellen Feb 2014 #52

For someone who doesn't know what happened you sure cthulu2016 Feb 2014 #54

because I said this article is a biased piece of shit? And I don't know what happened? bettyellen Feb 2014 #58

This message was self-deleted by its author HangOnKids Feb 2014 #132

Wow... that's sooooo dishonest cthulu2016 Feb 2014 #51

no, they thought she could have been a severely disturbed kid. which is problematic. bettyellen Feb 2014 #53

The article was based largely on facts that are public record WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #95

we only have opinions, period. and that article left out so much that it's bias would sway anyone... bettyellen Feb 2014 #96

The woman who wrote the Vanity Fair article is a friend of Farrow's. She is also biased. El_Johns Feb 2014 #119

THEY were the ones who rehearsed her pnwmom Feb 2014 #143

Such a tactic could just as easily be harmful WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #145

This point was made by an expert in child sex abuse. Literally the woman who wrote the textbook. pnwmom Feb 2014 #147

Have you actually read the testimony by the doctor WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #148

It's not up to anyone other than the DA to prosecute jberryhill Feb 2014 #17

very weird that he'd say that thing about "probable cause" but decided to "spare her the trauma". bettyellen Feb 2014 #22

There was no physical evidence she was molested. The rest is you mangling the transcript. El_Johns Feb 2014 #39

physical evidence is often NOT there, so..... bettyellen Feb 2014 #42

The "more balanced" VF article was written by a friend of Farrow's, as was the 1992 article it El_Johns Feb 2014 #118

fuck Woody Allen CatWoman Feb 2014 #3

ditto Puzzledtraveller Feb 2014 #109

Very good article. nt msanthrope Feb 2014 #6

Just so you know, that article spurred Dylan's letter. joshcryer Feb 2014 #44

It's interesting to me that the licensed family therapist in the family believes Allen. nt msanthrope Feb 2014 #81

Thanks for that link..... I'd heard a lot about this but hard facts are tough to come by groundloop Feb 2014 #8

This thread is in response to that post. nt. WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #14

Dylan Farrow's letter was a response to that article. joshcryer Feb 2014 #43

Given space by another friend of Farrow's, Nicholas Kristof. Just in time for the Oscars. El_Johns Feb 2014 #120

I wouldn't be surprised if defacto7 Feb 2014 #13

Amanda Knox, Woody Allen... please, make it stop. hunter Feb 2014 #16

Then why did you feel compelled to say something? WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #19

For WillyT... hunter Feb 2014 #20

Some people are able to learn from the experience of others siligut Feb 2014 #21

respectfully, defacto7 Feb 2014 #48

no, the Chris Christie threads are entertaining. This, not at all- unless you're speaking bettyellen Feb 2014 #63

It's never entertaining defacto7 Feb 2014 #64

you seem confused that people come here for wisdom, LOL. point me towards it, LOL bettyellen Feb 2014 #65

This small line in the thread comes from post #16 defacto7 Feb 2014 #67

I saw, but look at GD... seriously. Not a lot more wisdom out there either, just current events and bettyellen Feb 2014 #68

I so agree... defacto7 Feb 2014 #69

Respect would imply that you had actually read and processed my post siligut Feb 2014 #77

It's more than media gossip, it's an orchestrated campaign, IMO. El_Johns Feb 2014 #121

Thanks for the link to this article NBachers Feb 2014 #26

Thanks for this thread, and other important facts from the article - quinnox Feb 2014 #40

+ 1 red dog 1 Feb 2014 #57

Quinnox, on No. 6 you got something wrong. Manifestor_of_Light Feb 2014 #66

Fine, but that isn't my list quinnox Feb 2014 #70

OK, then the author was wrong about time requirements for common-law. Manifestor_of_Light Feb 2014 #86

NY doesn't have common-law marriage. tammywammy Feb 2014 #106

Texas isn't the state at issue here B2G Feb 2014 #105

It was right, but they threw in irrelevant discussion of common law marriage. Manifestor_of_Light Feb 2014 #112

I think the whole Farrow-Allen clan are a bit off-kilter. El_Johns Feb 2014 #41

gosh. it looks like I stepped into a time warp. is this a news report from the 90's?? 2banon Feb 2014 #46

That's one point of view, by a member of the Woody fan club. pnwmom Feb 2014 #47

And the Vanity Fair article written by a friend of Farrow's is another, from the Farrow fan club. El_Johns Feb 2014 #122

Yeah, the guy marries his daughter and we're going to debate whether he's a creep or not me b zola Feb 2014 #49

Definitely was not his daughter. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #55

But he didn't. defacto7 Feb 2014 #56

because he conspired to betray his LT partner with her own teen daughter. it's a good enough reason bettyellen Feb 2014 #60

Yeah... it seems questionable defacto7 Feb 2014 #62

It's Mia's fault for encouraging them to hang out! I mean, of course he'd want nude pics eventually. bettyellen Feb 2014 #61

+1 Coexist Feb 2014 #113

AND he made a movie -- Manhattan -- about his "affair" with a high school girl. Arugula Latte Feb 2014 #103

She wasn't his daughter. closeupready Feb 2014 #108

The young man has Frank's mouth. Not to mention the eyes. Dark n Stormy Knight Feb 2014 #91

Moses Farrow is also a family therapist, licensed and practicing in CT. So I have a feeling that msanthrope Feb 2014 #73

The entire world has had reason to distrust Mia Farrow for many decades. Artists warned us. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #75

You denounce the Catholic priests BainsBane Feb 2014 #89

Offering my opinion about Mia and Andre, not about Allen. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #125

I suggest you think about the implications of what you are doing BainsBane Feb 2014 #126

So you are not aware that the priests have lots of female victims? How can you not know this? Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #129

I did not make an attack BainsBane Feb 2014 #130

yeah, you did. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #134

Well, I was about to apologize BainsBane Feb 2014 #138

How creepy that Dory Previn had a song called "My Daddy in the Attic"! Bonobo Feb 2014 #92

How many marriages did Andre Previn have- five or six? All Mia's fault, obviously.... bettyellen Feb 2014 #116

Andre and Mia are the parents of 6 children. They claim to be adults, both of them. Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #127

I keep reading here SHE broke his marriage. A married person is responsible for their own shit. bettyellen Feb 2014 #128

I don't know what you 'keep reading here' but it was not me you were reading so don't barf it Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #131

It was primarily an attack on Mia. And the warning about young girls, LOL.. It seems everyone Mia bettyellen Feb 2014 #137

It seems to me that Weekend Warrior is the one freaked out about... Walk away Feb 2014 #76

Yes, here and on the other thread - the denial is very telling. Sheldon Cooper Feb 2014 #78

Very Creepy! nt Walk away Feb 2014 #79

Disagreeing with you and Mia Farrow is not denial Bluenorthwest Feb 2014 #80

You obviously have something to hide! TheSarcastinator Feb 2014 #135

God forbid anyone do any research on the subject before they spout WeekendWarrior Feb 2014 #94

Is it 1992 or 2014? BainsBane Feb 2014 #139

As another poster so simply put it, Fuck Woody Allen! Puzzledtraveller Feb 2014 #107

By the way, Woody Allen has now responded to this, and said these accusations are untrue and quinnox Feb 2014 #111

If Woody Allen was a vocal right winger the call for his nutz would be unanimous here Puzzledtraveller Feb 2014 #114

Yeah, because this is a site for us to bash rightwingers LostOne4Ever Feb 2014 #117
