For a scandal in which there are no legal consequences, now or ever, the Dylan Farrow-Woody Allen saga is dominating headlines this month.
Farrow, 28, was jointly adopted by Allen, 78, and former partner Mia Farrow, 69. She says Allen molested her in the early ’90s, when she was 7.
Allen denied the allegations then, but they resurfaced this winter after Farrow penned open letter to the N.Y. Times recounting her father’s molestation of her.
The famed director has reiterated his denials, blaming Mia for coaching Dylan, making up untrue stories and fostering a lingering resentment of him.
Dylan immediately countered that Woody Allen is a child molester and he can say whatever he wants, but the truth is on her side and she won’t be silenced.
Which seems to be her endgame. Allen wasn’t prosecuted in 1992, though Farrow claims there was probable cause, and he will not be in 2014.
The widespread acclaim of Blue Jasmine and his iconic career in general seems to be the impetus for Dylan, who feels her story mustn’t be forgotten.
Who to believe? We’ll likely never know for sure, as both sides are adamant and unyielding in their positions in this decades-long blame game.
