I highly recommend reading Moses Farrow's recently released essay, "A Son Speaks Out" which you can Google.  I won't post the link here, as there is language in it.  Moses is the adoptive son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, and he reveals some very detailed, interesting information on growing up in the Farrow household.  Moses is now 40 years old and a family therapist.  

 

After reading this article, I also recommend reading Robert B. Weide's two articles, "The Woody Allen Allegations: Not So Fast," and "Hard Questions for Ronan Farrow: An Open Letter."  These give very specific facts about what we know.  I believe most people just assume that Woody Allen is a child molester, but I believe most people are also clueless as to the facts.  I really do believe that Dylan Farrow believes that she was molested by her father, Woody Allen, when she was a child.  After reading these articles, I also believe that although she truly believes it happened, in reality, it never did.

Not going to speculate. Clearly the family dynamics leave something to be desired.

@cherry Yes, that is addressed in the article.  Perhaps you should read it to learn why he said that.

I saw this earlier on another board and read the entire piece.  It is quite compelling and, sans many of the more horrific details about the mother, I could totally feel what he was saying.

 

I'm not a jury.  I'm just me.  But I have always felt that this whole thing was more about her just trying to ruin Allen's life.   I've seen her over the decades acting in a way that totally fits in with this young man's rendition.

 

Of course the kids said what they were told to say.  It really does work that way and then at some point you are able to get away from the control and see things the way they really were.

 

I don't remember knowing about many of those kids and didn't even know about all the suicides.    Sure makes sense for all that they dealt with (allegedly) at her hands, though!

I haven't read this yet, but I'm curious .... just what prompted this coming out now?    It seems a little "out of the blue".

@Tinkrbl44 He had done interviews and talked about what is discussed in this article for several years.  I think the #metoo movement and seeing his father being wrongly accused once again may have something to do with him being a little more thorough with his thoughts at this time.  I don't think he has anything to gain by taking sides or lying about this.

Money, as in an inheritance maybe, could be a big gain.
