In reply to the discussion: What's really relevant in the Dylan Farrow molestation case [View all]bettyellen
(47,209 posts)the context, the huge betrayal, that he had dated 17 year olds before and was possibly guilty of statutory, and apparently exploitive relationships prior. Like it or not, it also doesn't help his own image when he jokes about being a child molester. It's not prudish or stupid (or like a homophobe) to take that as yet another red flag. Woody himself left many people wondering if he has any healthy boundaries at all.
I think the correlation seen is more about the narcissistic sociopathy he had already displayed coupled with his own admitted obsessions.
He absolutely does not have to set off any red flags for Dylan to seem credible, but he does.
But you also do have to imagine lots of hateful things about Mia to just write off Dylan without any consideration. There's no other way you can write it off. Not sure why it is so damned easy to go there and totally ignore Dylan herself? When they defend Woody- 99% of it is hating Mia because of others painful divorces. No one seems to want to consider that she believed her daughter, and acted accordingly.
