Why do people keep saying "Mia defended Polanski"?

15. Polanski sued Vanity Fair over a 2002 article that claimed he was trying to seduce a young woman

at a restaurant on the day of his wife's funeral.


This was after the rape case, and the attitude of VF toward Polanski is shown here:


The Vanity Fair editor, Graydon Carter, who was in court throughout the trial, said he found it "amazing" that "a man who lives in France can sue a magazine published in America in a British court".

"As a father of four children, one of them a 12-year-old daughter, I find it equally outrageous that this story is considered defamatory," he said.

But Farrow told the court Polanski had been in no mood for seduction on the night in late August 1969 when she met him in Elaine's, and that he had "brushed off" two women who tried to flirt with him.

Farrow also appeared in the Film "Polanski, Wanted & Desired," part of which was exulpatory information about the trial:

In 2008, a documentary film of the aftermath of the incident, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Following review of the film, Polanski and his attorney, Douglas Dalton contacted the Los Angeles district attorney's office about prosecutor David Wells' role in coaching the judge, Laurence J. Rittenband. Using Wells' own claims from the film, Polanski and Dalton are investigating whether the prosecutor acted illegally and engaged in malfeasance in interfering with the operation of the trial.
