I remember when the accusations first came out. Farrow was incredibly angry, understandibly so, and I just don't know what to think about all this. I'm not defending Allen, but I remember Farrow ranting a lot when the scandal broke about the affair with her adopted daughter Soon Yi and Woody Allen. This is such a sensitive thing because many children aren't believed when they speak up about sexual abuse, but on the other hand, some children have been coaxed to "believe" they were abused (ex: McMartin preschool case).:

No. He didn't marry his step daughter. I've posted that a few times now. last1standing Feb 2014 #85

I was just surprised... TeeYiYi Feb 2014 #169

That link supports what I said, not what you're claiming. Thanks, though, it was interesting. pnwmom Feb 2014 #160

So you didn't read the part that talks about how Allen had little to do with the other children. last1standing Feb 2014 #180

From HIS perspective he had little to do with them. But from THEIR perspective, pnwmom Feb 2014 #187

You haven't even read the link I provided although you claimed you did. last1standing Feb 2014 #188

Yes, I did, although I skimmed much of it. Did it mention the brother? I was looking for the answer pnwmom Feb 2014 #190

You managed to skim right over anything that didn't agree with your preconceived notions. last1standing Feb 2014 #197

I believe the young woman. Her essay was incredibly brave pnwmom Feb 2014 #234

You don't have to read EVERY article to have an opinion. I've read a number over the years, pnwmom Feb 2014 #236

Yet you asked for information it provides AFTER I gave you the link and you said you read it. last1standing Feb 2014 #240

We were discussing whether he was a father figure when you gave me the link. pnwmom Feb 2014 #242

Yes, it did address it. Again you didn't read the article you claimed you did. last1standing Feb 2014 #249

I'm not saying Woody should go to prison or even to trial. But I don't have to respect him, pnwmom Feb 2014 #251

I never said you had to respect him. I don't care if you respect him. last1standing Feb 2014 #255

I don't know why Mia did anything, or if she did. It's the young woman I believe. nt pnwmom Feb 2014 #259

So you don't care if Mia Farrow brainwashed her children? that's what her own child claims. last1standing Feb 2014 #266

Moses is one child who obviously wasn't there when Allen was molesting his sister. pnwmom Feb 2014 #270

Now you're just making shit up to suit your fantasy. last1standing Feb 2014 #272

How can you say I'm ignoring "all the proof that he didn't do it." All these years later, pnwmom Feb 2014 #290

I know this is hard but a lack of PROOF generally leans toward innocence. last1standing Feb 2014 #295

Of course it does -- in a TRIAL. But not in real life. In real life, all it is is a lack of proof. pnwmom Feb 2014 #300

LOL! You really don't get it. last1standing Feb 2014 #301

And you expect molested children to be able to present absolute proof that pnwmom Feb 2014 #306

I'm sure she did speak the truth as she knows it. last1standing Feb 2014 #84

She recounted what happened to her... CoffeeCat Feb 2014 #170

Dylan also changed her story several times. You forgot to mention that part. last1standing Feb 2014 #176

Not several times. She panicked after she saw how upset everyone got and pnwmom Feb 2014 #241

You were in the room? You saw that? last1standing Feb 2014 #245

I read about it in one of the Vanity Fair articles. And, as I said, I reserved judgement when it was pnwmom Feb 2014 #246

So you're calling Moses Farrow a liar? Or is he not quite as believable for some reason? last1standing Feb 2014 #248

Moses Farrow can't speak to what happened to the sister who was 7 when he was 17. pnwmom Feb 2014 #250

So the 17 year old is mistaken while the 7 year old is absolutely right. last1standing Feb 2014 #252

The 17 year old can't speak for what happened in private to his younger sister. He wasn't there. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #256

Frank Sinatra didn't marry the sister of his kids. That's the part you keep glossing over. pnwmom Feb 2014 #315

Allen got involved with the adopted full-grown adult sister of his kids. last1standing Feb 2014 #319

It doesn't matter that she was a young adult. Not to the kids. She was their sister. pnwmom Feb 2014 #321

To you it doesn't matter. To them it did. last1standing Feb 2014 #323

Mia didn't invent the incest taboo, and it doesn't matter psychologically if a sibling is adopted. pnwmom Feb 2014 #324

There was no incest. There was nothing approaching incest. Why post deceptions like that? last1standing Feb 2014 #326

It is psychological incest when a father has sex with your sister, even if it isn't legal incest. pnwmom Feb 2014 #329

No such thing but yes, we're done. last1standing Feb 2014 #330

willfully ignoranmt or very misogynistic? I can't decide. elehhhhna Feb 2014 #287

Uh, guess you should know at what age Woody started taking pictures of her nude. HINT she was not an WCLinolVir Feb 2014 #200

Actually, I think the pictures were discovered in 92, when Soon-yi was 19. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #215

According to what I read at the time, she was a minor and still living with her mother when they WCLinolVir Feb 2014 #413

To any who can't understand why rapes and sexual assaults often go unreported, read this thread! Squinch Feb 2014 #194

There's a good amount of evidence suggesting these were implanted memories. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #209

The prosecutor said he had sufficient cause to charge him, but decided not to bring the Squinch Feb 2014 #216

No, actually he never said that. He said he had probable cause. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #225

The reprimand was overturned. Squinch Feb 2014 #230

The child was interviewed multiple times. By whom, I'm not sure. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #243

She was interviewed nine times, in person Nevernose Feb 2014 #261

And again, do you see why sexual assaults so often go unreported? Squinch Feb 2014 #274

So well put. TDale313 Feb 2014 #278

False memories are not a delusion and she isn't a liar. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #284

But you assume false memory rather than experience, and say that Squinch Feb 2014 #291

Yes, I believe based on the totally anecdotal evidence that it is more likely false memory. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #294

She is talking about her experience, not something she read. Squinch Feb 2014 #296

No, you're wrong. This is not the same as all other cases of shaming victims. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #302

And what you simply don't understand is that YOUR conclusion, however you have come to it, Squinch Feb 2014 #372

And I am horrifyingly sure that this is the attitude that sex assault victims come up Squinch Feb 2014 #288

More than a bit deceptive on your part. She was a small child... Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #283

And when I say she has a right to be heard, you say that I am being deceptive. Squinch Feb 2014 #286

Wrong. Totally wrong. Don't try and shame me for something I didn't say. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #289

"I will not put up with such garbage" is a ridiculous thing to say. What does that even mean? Squinch Feb 2014 #292

It means I'm not going to let you lecture me on the gross underreporting of sexual assault. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #299

It is not for you to "let" or "not let" anyone here do anything. You are not in a position to Squinch Feb 2014 #374
