<p>Yeah…I guess I just want more. What is inappropriate? Is Woody disputing that he worked with Dr Coates?
I guess not.</p>
<p>I think Woody looks really bad.</p>
<p>I have no idea what Mia was thinking? What was Woody doing hanging around the kids after both the Dylan issues and Soon Yi? What is this Frank Sinatra stuff?</p>
<p>But…having said this, Woody looks very, very bad.</p>
<p>I am trying to remember but I dont remember 7 year olds walking around without underwear. The nature of Dylan’s complaint is too precise. </p>
<p>Let me say at the outset, I have no idea who is telling the truth. WA could be a pedophile for all I know. However, I think it would be mistake to necessarily believe everything a very young child might say who was probably coached by a very angry mother. There were some very famous cases in the 80’s and the 90’s where innocent people went to jail because of false testimony by kids coached by well-meaning adults. This article by Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal is interesting. You may have to google it to get by the pay-wall.</p>
You can also look at the court ruling document I cited previously, pages 10 and 11 if you prefer to look at a legal document rather than an article. </p>
<p>In the same document, page 24. Justice Wilke stated,“I agree with Dr. Herman and Dr. Brodzinsky that we will probably never know what occurred on August 4, 1992. The credible testimony of Ms. Farrow, Dr. Coates, Dr. Leventhal and Mr. Allen does, however, prove that Mr. Allen’s behavior toward Dylan was grossly inappropriate and that measures must be taken to protect her.”</p>
Dstark, page 21 may provide some answers to your question. As per Justice Wilk, "Ms. Farrow’s principal shortcoming with respect to responsible parenting appears to have been her continued relationship with Mr. Allen.</p>
<p>Ms. Farrow reacted to Mr. Allen’s behavior with her children with a balance of appropriate caution and flexibility. She brought her early concern with Mr. Allen’s relationship with Dylan to Dr. Coates and was comforted by the doctor’s assurance that Mr. Allen was working to correct his behavior with the child.."</p>
<p>Where is the post number when you need it? Flossy, Mia Farrow discovered the WA-Soon-YI affair on Jan. 1992. If you read post upthread, Dr. Coates was working with WA re: his inappropriate behavior with Dylan in 1990. </p>
<p>Arabarab, as for Mia’s V-Day card, I think Soon-Yi’s naked pictures taken by WA are creepier. In fact, Justice Wilk had something to say about it too.
<p>There is a lot of ground between inappropriate and molestation especially with MIa’s very obvious jealous streak. I have no clue what happened and always assumed he was guilty but the more I read the more the whole family situation sounds dreadful in every way. Anyone growing up in that mess would be slightly unstable. So, now I just don’t know. </p>
<p>Flossy, I do not understand why you say her reaction was out of jealousy. If a father discovered his daughter’s naked photos in his ex-wife’s current lover’s apartment, do you think his reaction will be calm and blasé? Compound the situation with the father discovering that his ex-wife’s decade-long lover was conducting an affair with the daughter in the SAME MONTH he was adopting children with the ex-wife. Still calm?</p>
<p>I watched the 1992 60 Minutes interview with WA. According to him, after she accused him of molesting their kid and after she was aware of his affair with her adopted daughter, she asked him if she could begin working on the movie he was about to embark upon. He was incredulous, and told her no.</p>
<p>No, before that… She was always jealous of Dylan because she was the only child Woody, who was basically anti-kids involved with a women who had 9 of them, liked. At that point they had barely any relationship at all but he showered Dylan with attention. The Soon Yi thing happened later and that’s when she accused him of molestation. Add that to a zillion other dysfunctional things that were going on in that home.</p>
<p>Well, that’s the version I read, Admittedly, there could be others. And, as I said the more I read the more I doubt my initial reaction which was basically, “Of course he did it. He’s an obvious creep.” I never knew much about Mia… She also sounds like a very troubled person and their home life sounds awful… </p>
<p>Sorry folks, only read the thread starter and a few posts. I never liked Woody Allen movies- only watched some decades ago because H did. I never did get what was so fascinating about any of his movies, the personality in Annie Hall was terrible to me. His voice, apparent narcissism, self centeredness, whatever never appealed to me. I can believe he would have done bad things because I never had good feelings about the person. I still don’t get what was so great about any of his movies. Thanks for letting me vent (better here than annoying my H).</p>
<p>Hmmm, Goldenpooch, maybe WA should have introduced that as evidence of MF’s alleged deceit when he appealed in 1994 to overturn the court’s decision to grant MF custody of the three children.</p>
<p>These people should never have been parents in the first place. Both strike me as self-absorbed, narcissistic individuals obsessed with fame and their own self promotion. These kids didn’t stand a chance.</p>
<p>Not a WA fan. Crazy he married soon yi. There is enough there to tell me something is wrong with this guy. His pal Diane Keaton is just as messed up. Her speech on Allen’s behalf was bizarre. I think birds of a feather flock together, and these nuts reassure each other they are okay.</p>
<p>Krililies - Most of what I’m referring to came from links and court documents on this thread. Even the Vanity Fair piece is not particularly flattering to Mia once you get past the intentionally shocking stuff about Woody.</p>
<p>I never liked his movies, either. To be clear. I am certainly not a fan.</p>
