Ebbing And Flowing With Woody Allen

Vanity Fair publishes a piece pushing back against some of the Woody Allen support that has passed by this week.

10 Undeniable Facts About the Woody Allen Sexual-Abuse Allegation

By Maureen Orth

This week, a number of commentators have published articles containing incorrect and irresponsible claims regarding the allegation of Woody Allen’s having sexually abused his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. As the author of two lengthy, heavily researched and thoroughly fact-checked articles that deal with that allegation—the first published in 1992, when Dylan was seven, and the second last fall, when she was 28—I feel obliged to set the record straight. As such, I have compiled the following list of undeniable facts:

 

And the facts she presents are not supportive of Allen.

 

The report mentioned below floated across the Inter-tubes recently but of course I can't find it now:

7.   The Yale-New Haven Hospital Child Sex Abuse Clinic’s finding that Dylan had not been sexually molested, cited repeatedly by Allen’s attorneys, was not accepted as reliable by Judge Wilk, or by the Connecticut state prosecutor who originally commissioned them. The state prosecutor, Frank Maco, engaged the Yale-New Haven team to determine whether Dylan would be able to perceive facts correctly and be able to repeat her story on the witness stand. The panel consisted of two social workers and a pediatrician, Dr. John Leventhal, who signed off on the report but who never saw Dylan or Mia Farrow. No psychologists or psychiatrists were on the panel. The social workers never testified; the hospital team only presented a sworn deposition by Dr. Leventhal, who did not examine Dylan.

All the notes from the report were destroyed. Her confidentiality was then violated, and Allen held a news conference on the steps of Yale University to announce the results of the case. The report concluded Dylan had trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality. (For example, she had told them there were “dead heads” in the attic and called sunset “the magic hour.” In fact, Mia kept wigs from her movies on styrofoam blocks in a trunk in the attic.) The doctor subsequently backed down from his contention.

The Connecticut state police, the state attorney, and Judge Wilk all had serious reservations about the report’s reliability.

And this just in: The NY Times runs Woody Allen's response to Dylan Farrow's open letter. Let me cherry pick this:

The police began their investigation; a possible indictment hung in the balance. I very willingly took a lie-detector test and of course passed because I had nothing to hide. I asked Mia to take one and she wouldn’t.

And back to 10 Undeniable Facts:

3.   Allen refused to take a polygraph administered by the Connecticut state police. Instead, he took one from someone hired by his legal team. The Connecticut state police refused to accept the test as evidence. The state attorney, Frank Maco, says that Mia was never asked to take a lie-detector test during the investigation.

Allen leans heavily on the Child Sex Abuser Clinic report to establish his innocence.

And I like this line of reasoning:

Even the venue where the fabricated molestation was supposed to have taken place was poorly chosen but interesting. Mia chose the attic of her country house, a place she should have realized I’d never go to because it is a tiny, cramped, enclosed spot where one can hardly stand up and I’m a major claustrophobe. The one or two times she asked me to come in there to look at something, I did, but quickly had to run out.

One of the 10 Facts is this:

8.   Allen changed his story about the attic where the abuse allegedly took place. First, Allen told investigators he had never been in the attic where the alleged abuse took place. After his hair was found on a painting in the attic, he admitted that he might have stuck his head in once or twice. A top investigator concluded that his account was not credible.

To which I will add that an alternative hypothesis is that Allen chose a molestation venue where no one would be likely to look for him.

MORE; Anti-Allen skepticism in Slate, but this is credibility-crushing:

In that segment, Allen tells Kroft that it would have been “illogical” to molest Dylan “at the height of a very bitter, acrimonious custody fight.”

The problem with this line of reasoning is that Dylan Farrow’s allegations did not emerge in the midst of a custody battle. According to Phoebe Hoban’s 1992 New York magazine story, as of early August 1992—eight months after Mia Farrow had discovered Allen’s sexual relationship with her daughter Soon-Yi Previn—Allen had been “prepared to sign a 30-page document that virtually precluded his seeing the children he doted on without a chaperone.” Then, on Aug. 4, 1992, Dylan told her mother that Woody Allen had sexually assaulted her in Mia’s Connecticut home. At that point, Mia and Dylan went to Dylan’s pediatrician, who reported the allegations to authorities.Allen did not sue for custody of Dylan and her two brothers, Moses and Ronan, until Aug. 13, 1992, a week after he was informed of Dylan’s accusations.

Does Slate have editors? If they followed the link provided to the 1992 New York magazine story they will learn that the papers about to be signed in early August were the culmination of many months of negotiation described in the story as including "histrionics worth of a grade-B movie". The subsequent filing of a custody suit was simply the next move in the legal chess match; it hardly indicates that the two sides had been getting along swimmingly beforehand. (bonus laugher, or head-scratcher - part of the negotiation was about whether Mia would appear in Woody's next movie; nice to know she was furious but not that furious.)

That said, the story also includes one of the dumber rhetorical questions I have seen: in commenting on the timing of the alleged incident, an Allen supporter asks "Why would someone on their right mind select the day when they are minutes away from signing papers?". Hmm, so now Woody and Mia are exemplars of mental health and good judgment?

During the 8:35 segment, Zullo announced that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has opened a “second criminal investigation” relative to the investigation into the birth certificate image posted on the White House website in April 2011.

Zullo added that because of the new information and second criminal investigation, there might be “two events” held in the future to discuss the two topics separately.

The first, as described by Zullo, would release information which would prove “hands down” that the birth certificate image is a forgery, while the second would cover the second investigation.

How is it the WH still looks like Dresden circa 1938?

(For example, she had told them there were “dead heads” in the attic and called sunset “the magic hour.” ...

When I was 7 years old, I called sunset “the magic hour” because that was when my father came home from work and we all did something together as a family.

As far as I remember, I was never molested, but I find a kinship with the "magic hour."

[narciso]

Congrats JiB,

now for something completely different;

[Threadkiller]

The "allies" are giving the wrong coordinates?

[Rob Crawford]

When I was 7 years old, I called sunset “the magic hour” because that was when my father came home from work and we all did something together as a family.

Photographers and movie makers refer to sunrise and sunset as the "magic hour" because the light's just about perfect for dramatic photography. A kid growing up around lots of movie people would probably have heard the term a few times.

[Danube on iPad]

"Zullo added that because of the new information and second criminal investigation, there might be 'two events' held in the future to discuss the two topics separately."

These events will be bombshells. The Birther Report has already informed us of countless bombshells dropped by Arpaio and crack investigator Zullo. Thus far none of them has actually exploded but boy, imagine what will happen when they all go off at once. KA-BOOM! End of Obama presidency. All legislation signed bt him is instantly null and void. Stay tuned.

Anyone watching NBC's smooch-a-ganza to Russia tonight? Missing in all the narrative and historical resonance is the 10 million Russian citizens slaughtered by Stalin and his ilk as well as the 30 million who spent their creative years in the Gulag. Thank God a few were able to survive and chronicle it for the rememberance of mankind.

Wonder who lost their library card at NBC?

Because he is sick and HE COULD!!!

[Jim Eagle]

Who is the guy on NBC doing the commentary on the ceremony? He just said something to the effect he did "soviet propraganda for 4 years of his life", Seems his name is David. Now Williams cuts in to say they are now going to move to WW2 where 20 million were killed by those awful Nazis. Hard to believe such evil could exist, right?

[Danube on iPad]

At least on FNC I have seen wholesale ridicule of Costas's hymn to Putin. Don't know how it is being treated elsewhere. But here are the things that occur to me:

--This thing is produced by NBC Sporrts, not NBC News. Did the latter have any vetting authority over what that ludicrous dwarf had to say?

--Did NBC Sports have such authority?

--Does this teeny nincompoop have unfettered license to offer his opinions on gun control, gay rights, Russian statesmanship or anything else about which he suddenly decides we give a shit about what he thinks?

Who is running this show?

I have this faint hope that this disgusting runt will be gently taken by the elbows and led out to pasture.

this is making the Danny Boyle presentation from two years ago, seem coherent,

NBC News would have made it less critical of the Soviet Union.

I can't figure out where they are going. Yesterday Putin was enlightenment personified, tonite he is a scary force to be reckoned with. Or not. I'm not paying close enough attention, but they do seem conflicted.

[miss Marple]

Jane,

They are conflicted because the White House is sending them talking points, and Obama says whatever pops into his head at the moment.

Sounds about right MM.

Kevin Williamson has a great new piece on feminism linked at Insty. I'm on IPad so I can't link it.

Then you paste in all that stuff up in the overhead uhrl section that identifies your picture.

Hey Daddy, I was slowly scrolling down. (No perv intended), and as I got to your breastesses pic, I wondered if it had been posted by Ignatz. Then in a nano-second, I realized that Ig, is a buttocks man.

[Carol.Herman]

Believe what you want. But if you believe Dylan was molested, how come only once? Don't molesters (like Mia's brother John), do it over and over, again?

How come, with John Farrow now in jail serving ten years of a 25 year sentence, there's no sympathy for the two boys who were neighbors to John, and were repeatedly molested.

If Kate Blanchett doesn't get the Oscar, it will go, in all probability to Judi Dench. Where Philomena tells the story of catholic abuse against unmarried teenage women who have babies. And, the babies were sold for lots of money to Americans.

Dunno if Allen's career ahead suffers. Next month he has his play Bullets Over Broadway" opening on Broadway. And, he also has two movies ahead. The one coming out this summer, "Magic in the Moment" ... or some such title. And, Fading Gigolo will open mid-April. (He only acts in that one.)

Now, what if Dylan grew up to be a disturbed adult? Brainwashed by Mia. Wouldn't Allen feel terrible about that?

The story won't go away.

[daddy]

I'm not watching the Olympics. I'm watching Megyn Kelly on replay and it is absolutely excellent. She is going very in depth into the debacle of ObamaCare and every segment between commercials is worse than the previous segment---it's like she's moving down the various layers of Hell. We're at level 6 or so, and I'm scared to see what Level 7 is like when she comes back from the break. Megyn really is consistent in being between very good to excellent almost every night, whereas O'Reilly is still doing a re-hash of his interview and will probably keep up that inanity for another couple weeks. Enough already Bill.

[Gus]

Megan Kelly is awesome Daddy.

[Ignatz]

--Then in a nano-second, I realized that Ig, is a buttocks man.--

I'm glad I checked back in to squelch and quash this troubling, if not downright scurrilous, rumor.

Just in from the midnight dogwalk and there is a big Northern Lights show going on. It is a fluorescent green color and it's curtains are shifting at a sort of slow waltz speed. Unfortunately the bright half moon in the south is somewhat dampening visibility, but it is definitely from the north as looking up I could see the north star Polaris slowing dimming and brightening as the Borealis played in front of it.

That reminded me of this story a few days back about the unexpected discovery that the North Star itself is getting brighter: The mystery of the North Star: Astronomers baffled to find Polaris is getting BRIGHTER

---Team found that Polaris is 2.5 times brighter today than in 137CE
---Experts say find is 'entirely unexpected'

I don't know how exactly you could use Ptolemy's observations from way back then to help figure out that the star is getting brighter, but The team found that Polaris is 2.5 times brighter today than in Ptolemy's time, which they say is a remarkable rate of change. 'If they are real, these changes are 100 times larger than predicted by current theories of stellar evolution,' says Villanova astronomer Edward Guinan.

I believe that means "The Science isn't Settled".

ALMOST ONE IN FOUR 26-YEAR-OLDS STILL LIVE WITH PARENTS

The survey followed 13,000 high school students who were sophomores in 2002, and checked in with them in 2012 to see where are they now. Some of the results are:

10% living with roommate(s), prompting fellow millennial Katy Waldman to write an embarrassing Slate article bearing the headline, "More 27-Year-Olds Live With Parents Than Roommates"

53.8 percent made less than $25,000 from employment in 2011

40% had been unemployed for one or more months since January 2009

13% reported they were neither working for pay nor taking postsecondary courses

60.2 % of those who had enrolled in college, reported they had taken out student loans

Partly because of Jane mentioning it, I broke down and turned to NBC to watch opening ceremony (airs 3 hours later here on West Coast, so I knew all about it from Twitter feed of East Coast viewers).

I kept the TV on mute the entire first 30 minutes (except for the brief portion with the tennis gal from Sochi). Obama seemed to dominate most of that air time. Didn't watch him, so didn't notice the stoned, tired look.

Lauer and Vierra, up next, were awful to watch on mute. Her head bobbed/nodded continuously with every lip movement from Lauer. She looked tired, angry and stiff. Lauer looked effete.

Once the talking heads were gone, I turned up the sound and watched until the USA team paraded in. Then turned it off and went to sleep. It reaffirmed for me that I have made the right choice in not watching opening Olympic ceremonies.

There's a very good article in the WSJ opinion today about Casey Mulligan and his work that is behind the new CBO estimates about 404care's job destruction. He says the CBO still underestimates the negative impact. And he shreds the idea that it's really a good thing that there's lower employment.

And on the same page there's a story about a woman whom the University of Iowa pretty obviously discriminated against because she was politically conservative. It's one thing if a private institution wants to be an all liberal club, but for a state school to do it is particularly outrageous.
