Woody Allen married the woman that he first met when she was 21 years old, and he never was her father,never adopted her, but it was his exwife and her other man that adopted her. Woody and Soon-Yi have been married for over 25 years and have two children together. Doesnt sound like abuse or incest or any other atrocity.
How could he just meet her when she was 21 if she was adopted prior to Dylan?
Also how was it proven that he took naked photos of Soon-Yi as a teen if he never met her until she was 21?
The following are some facts that always seem to get lost in this debate:
Allen and Soon-Yi have been together for 25 years, married for 20, and have two children.
In a 60 year career, no one (other than Dylan) has ever accused of Allen of acting inappropriately in any way.
Dylan is Allen’s sole accuser.
Child molesters are notorious repeat offenders.
The criminal justice system in New York and Connecticut investigated Allen for months and there was not enough evidence to even pursue an indictment.
Allen’s estranged son Moses has reversed his earlier statements and now claims that the allegation against Allen is a lie. He not only says he was physically and emotionally abused by Mia Farrow, but that she invented the allegation as retribution. Moses was also in the house at the time the alleged molestation occurred:
Of course Woody did not molest my sister. She loved him and looked forward to seeing him when he would visit. She never hid from him until our mother succeeded in creating the atmosphere of fear and hate toward him. The day in question, there were six or seven of us in the house. We were all in public rooms and no one, not my father or sister, was off in any private spaces… I don’t know if my sister really believes she was molested or is trying to please her mother. Pleasing my mother was very powerful motivation because to be on her wrong side was horrible.
Both Dylan and Moses claim to be victims. Each should be given equal consideration.
There was a detailed investigation that included both a physical examination and nine interviews of Dylan Farrow. Allen was cleared completely: [emphasis added]
Dr. John M. Leventhal, who interviewed Dylan nine times, said that one reason he doubted her story was that she changed important points from one interview to another, like whether Mr. Allen touched her vagina. Another reason, he said, was that the child’s accounts had “a rehearsed quality.” At one point, he said she told him, “I like to cheat on my stories.”
Dr. Leventhal said: “We had two hypotheses: one, that these were statements that were made by an emotionally disturbed child and then became fixed in her mind. And the other hypothesis was that she was coached or influenced by her mother. We did not come to a firm conclusion. We think that it was probably a combination.”
…
Dr. Leventhal headed the hospital team that was asked by the Connecticut State Police to investigate the claim that Mr. Allen molested Dylan last August at Miss Farrow’s summer home in Connecticut. The team told Mr. Allen and Miss Farrow on March 18 that it had concluded that Dylan was not molested, but the transcript gives the first look at the thinking behind that finding.
This Yale-New Haven study was commission by Connecticut’s state prosecutor. After the study unambiguously cleared Allen, the prosecutor declared their findings unreliable.
(Before making any kind of judgment on Allen, it is imperative to read this and this, along with these rebuttals here and here – neither of which I find convincing
Allen passed a polygraph test: [emphasis original]
Allen fully passed the test. The results were submitted to the CT State police, with [Paul] Minor [the former-Chief of the Polygraph Office for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command who performed the test] flying in to answer questions. The State police concurred with Minor’s findings, which is probably why they never proposed administering their own test. Mia was then asked by Woody’s lawyers to take a reciprocal polygraph test. She wouldn’t. Maybe it’s not too late.
The Connecticut prosecutor who claimed he had “probable cause” against Allen did not charge him, has never divulged what the probable cause is, and earned a “stern rebuke” by a review board:
“This amounts to a public reprimand, though they’re not calling it that,” said Kate Stith, a law professor at Yale University and a former Federal prosecutor. Though the decision was “quite damning,” she said she was not surprised that the panel did not punish Mr. Maco, because lawyers are rarely disciplined for their public statements.
It should be noted that a couple of years later the censure was overturned.
Allen was not the only one cheating. Mia Farrow has admitted that she too was unfaithful, specifically with ex-husband Frank Sinatra, well into the 1980s:
When asked point-blank if her biological son with Woody Allen, Ronan Farrow, may actually be the son of Frank Sinatra, Farrow answers, “Possibly.”
Ronan Farrow was born in 1987.
Dylan’s story was inconsistent:
Dylan’s statements in interviews at the hospital contradicted each other and the story she told on a videotape made by Miss Farrow, Dr. Leventhal said. “Those were not minor inconsistencies,” he said. “She told us initially that she hadn’t been touched in the vaginal area, and she then told us that she had, then she told us that she hadn’t.” ‘Intense Relationship’
The doctor suggested a connection between Miss Farrow’s outrage over Mr. Allen’s affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Farrow Previn, and the accusation made by Dylan, who he said was unusually protective of her mother. “It’s quite possible — as a matter of fact, we think it’s medically probable — that she stuck to that story over time because of the intense relationship she had with her mother,” he said.
Authorities believed Mia Farrow poisoned the family against Allen:
Even before the claim of abuse was made last August, [Leventhal] said, “The view of Mr. Allen as an evil and awful and terrible man permeated the household. The view that he had molested Soon-Yi and was a potential molester of Dylan permeated the household.”
The prosecutor said he did not charge Allen in order to spare Dylan from an “exhausting trial.” But if the prosecutor did indeed have “probable cause” of a terrible crime, this makes no sense. Although Mia Farrow said she agreed with the persecutor, Dylan had already been through an exhausting process. Why give up at the very end?
Moreover, as Robert Weide points out, “If the concern was really about putting young Dylan Farrow through an exhausting trial, I’ve often wondered why Mia Farrow didn’t sue Woody Allen in civil court once Dylan was old enough to withstand the trial, before the statute of limitations ran out, with all parties being under oath.”
Allen is alleged to have molested Dylan AFTER he and Farrow broke up over the Soon-Yi incident: Weide explains:
If Mia’s account is true, it means that in the middle of custody and support negotiations, during which Woody needed to be on his best behavior, in a house belonging to his furious ex-girlfriend, and filled with people seething mad at him, Woody …decided this would be the ideal time and place to take his daughter into an attic and molest her, quickly, before a house full of children and nannies noticed they were both missing.

Despite the facts, for 25 years these allegations have haunted Allen, and now the bandwagon of #MeToo has resulted in a blacklisting campaign against the Oscar-winner. Actors and producers are being pressured by the Farrows to repudiate Allen, to make him unemployable. So far, among others, Sorvino, Timothée Chalemet, Rebecca Hall, Greta Gerwig, Ellen Page, David Krumholtz, Natalie Portman, Reese Witherspoon, Kathleen Kennedy, America Ferrera, attorney Nina Shaw, Tracee Ellis Ross, Shonda Rhimes, and Griffin Newman have done so.
So far only Alec Baldwin and Selena Gomez are refusing to join the mob.
Worse still, using scandalous headlines and mindless innuendo, the left-wing Washington Post joined the witch hunt three weeks ago with Richard Morgan’s misleading piece titled “I read decades of Woody Allen’s private notes. He’s obsessed with teenage girls.”
In 56 boxes of material, Morgan extrapolated a handful of notes written by Allen (all of them within the realm of story ideas and character creation) about older men attracted to women aged 17 and up. There is one example of 16-year-old described as “a flashy sexy blonde in a flaming red low cut evening gown with a long slit up the side” — which reveals nothing in an era that sees girls younger than that sexualized on the Disney Channel.
Nonetheless, to argue that there is reasonable doubt in this case is an understatement, and no reasonable person can examine the facts and render a verdict that results in the personal destruction of Woody Allen.
Without question, Allen (and Soon-Yi) are guilty of a terrible betrayal 25 years ago. Without question the entire situation was creepy. But at what point do we stop flogging a single incident in the otherwise unblemished life of an 83-year-old man, and move on?
Dylan changed her story as a kid because she was too embarrassed to say where she was touched. Her aunt and her mother were eye witnesses to woody rubbing lotion in Dylan's crack. Soon-yi was a child on the scene long before Dylan was there.
Misinfo. Facts are facts. He married his daughter.
