(1,805 posts)was pressured by the actress to support charges that the filmmaker molested their 7-year-old adopted daughter.
The nanny, Monica Thompson, resigned from the Farrow household on Jan. 25 after being subpoenaed in the bitter custody battle between the actress and Allen. She told Allen's lawyers in depositions that another baby-sitter and one of the couple's other adopted children told her they had serious doubts about the molestation accusation.
"I know that the tape was made over the course of at least two and perhaps three days," Thompson said. "I was present when Ms. Farrow made a portion of that tape outdoors. I recall Ms. Farrow saying to Dylan at that time, 'Dylan, what did daddy do . . . and what did he do next?'
"Dylan appeared not to be interested, and Ms. Farrow would stop taping for a while and then continue."
Thompson, who had worked for Farrow for seven years, said she was not present in Connecticut the day last August the incident now under scrutiny by authorities allegedly occurred.
Thompson said the day after the alleged incident, when she got to work, the actress took Dylan to the doctor.
"When they arrived home, Farrow said Dylan had been 'afraid to talk to the doctor.' On Thursday, she took Dylan back to the doctor. When they arrived home, Farrow told me that 'everything is OK now--everything is set.' "
Thompson told Allen's lawyers that Farrow, upon returning from the second doctor's visit, seemed "very happy and excited for herself."
Thompson said that the next day Kristie Groteke, Dylan's baby-sitter, drove her to the bus, and her fellow employee was "very upset."
"She told me that she felt guilty allowing Ms. Farrow to say those things about Mr. Allen. (Groteke) said the day Mr. Allen spent with the kids, she did not have Dylan out of her sight for longer than five minutes. She did not remember Dylan being without her underwear."
