People who grow up in the same family can have vastly different recollections, feelings, memories, and ideas about their experiences in that family. Ask any therapist.

 

Adults can still also be easily manipulated. The whole thing is a very sad state of affairs.

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.


@tansy True, but he started up his relationship with his father again several years ago, so it could be that he just sees his dad being treated unfairly.  It's not like he wrote the article then showed up on his doorstep.  Also, he's a family therapist in NYC, so I imagine he's paying his bills just fine.

I think the reason Dylan was believable was because of WA's relationship with Mia's adopted daughter.  WA if I'm not mistaken, was a father figure to her or was suppose to be.  The fact that they had intimidate relations and ran away together led credence to Dylan's story, imo....that he was nothing but a sick dirty old man.  

 

If Moses is correct, there's a whole lot people that owe WA a huge apology.

@puttypiesmom Yes, the articles I posted do discuss this, and you're right, it was gross that Allen cheated on his girlfriend with her adopted daughter.  Soon-Yi's father was Andre Previn, and I believe they had a father daughter relationship.  Woody never really had interactions with Soon-Yi when she was growing up, because she had her own father, and he didn't want to interfere.  It was Mia who urged Woody to bond with Soon-Yi, so he started taking her to baseball games.  That's when they started getting attracted to each other.

He states he was waiting for the dust to settle after the renewed allegations earlier this year.

 

I remember some of Bing Crosby's kids from his first marriage made horrible claims about him in a book and then both sons recanted almost all of it before they died.

 

There's definitely a lot going on in that family.  Somewhere in everyone's version is the truth.

I believe Moses, so maybe I'll end my boycott of Woody Allen movies.

@Greeneyedlady21, how true. I didn't grow up with anything like this, but I had an older brother and have an older sister. My brother and I would remember events that happened, my sister didn't remember anything! It's like we didn't grow up in the same household, I think she has selective memories.

I don't know if I would like Woody Allen movies now..the old funny ones were hysterical, but the later ones, whiny.

Moses is now 40 yrs old and said he was forced by his mother Mia to agree with her - and blame Woody Allen. I also thought Woody was a child molester from all Mia's accusations -- now I'm on Woody's side. 
The perpetrator is MIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad the truth came out.
