Mr. Allen makes a compelling case. I also read the first opinion piece, and frankly, it seems to me unprofessional for and admitted friend of the family to give voice to accusations that can no longer be proven or disproved.
My disclaimer is that I have never liked Woody Allen or Mia Farrow. Professionally. What was Mia’s reason for refusing to take the same lie detector test as Woody passed? He was 56 in a relationship with a woman in her 20’s and makes a sudden, one-time attack on his 7 year old child in the attic room of his estranged wife? That’s “Flowers in the Attic” poor fiction.
“Moses is now 36 years old and a family therapist by profession. “Of course Woody did not molest my sister,” he said. “She loved him and looked forward to seeing him when he would visit.” is also pretty compelling. So he’s (possibly the only grounded member of the family) a 36yo family therapist, and a big fat liar?
I glad I didn’t know all this had resurfaced. Now that I know and have read the best shot of both sides, I believe Woody and I think Mia has tortured Dylan nearly her whole life. Looks to me that Mia couldn’t stand the Golden Globes award and looked up a well known writer friend to dredge up the unresolvable mess one more time.
One side of the story just gets bigger and bigger, and that makes the story farther and farther fetched: “It is our expert opinion that Dylan was not sexually abused by Mr. Allen. Further, we believe that Dylan’s statements on videotape and her statements to us during our evaluation do not refer to actual events that occurred to her on August 4th, 1992…” Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of the Yale-New Haven Hospital.
