Farrow’s sexual history - Woody bitchily recounts Mia’s age when she married Frank Sinatra, the fact that her second husband was still married when she became involved with him, and the possibility that she cheated on Woody with Sinatra - is completely irrelevant to the question as to whether or not Woody Allen sexually abused Dylan Farrow. The editor of the Times op-ed page - is there one? - should have cut it out.Īlso, Woody did himself no favors by launching a slut-shaming jihad against Mia Farrow in the piece. But the whole question of whether Frank Sinatra, rather than himself, is the real father of Ronan Farrow is a complete distraction and had no business being in the piece. I’ll add this: of course I can understand Woody Allen addressing the abuse allegations - that was why he was given a platform in the Times today, after all. Dylan herself handily filets the piece and exposes its many omissions and gross misrepresentations here. Dylan, of course, made those charges in the powerful open letter that was published on the New York Times website last week.Ībout Allen’s op-ed - ugh. Woody Allen week has culminated in the man himself writing this response to Dylan Farrow’s charges that he sexually abused her.
