An Open Letter from Dylan Farrow — Page 12

I heard there was a Vanity Fair article from the early '90s that was a real bombshell, but somebody doesn't want the public to see it because there is no trace of it anywhere.

I hate myself for doing it, but I clicked on the People article. Seems like one of the reasons Dylan wrote the open letter was because she was disappointed that when the Orth article in the more recent Vanity Fair came out, all anybody wanted to talk about was the fact that Ronan might be Frank Sinatra's son.

Meanwhile, over at Salon, Katie McDonough (described in her bio line as "an assistant editor for Salon, focusing on lifestyle," keeps the syllogistic article by my bête noire AARON BADY (hi Google Alerts!) alive as she calls Stephen King "abhorrent" for not responding exactly the way she thinks he should and so therefore rape culture, blah blah blah.

That piece of merde article will not die. Why is somebody focused on "lifestyle" even promoting it? Oh, and what King did that was so abhorrent was point out, accurately, that Bady's piece was bitchy. But to the lifestyle focuser, that's EXACTLY THE SAME AS DENYING THE COMPLETE TRUTH OF EVERYTHING DYLAN FARROW SAYS.

"But it's been bumped to the public and opened forever. "

Forever? That's a mighty long time. I can just see in the future - people rocketing to Mars and arguing whether Woody Allen was an abuser or not. haha

A former Obama speechwriter and Ronan's rumored boyfriend is going crazy on twitter. Yikes.

That pudgy mess had Sinatra-rumored sperm on him?

It's like a group of people are not getting EXACTLY THE OUTCOME THEY WANTED but they have yet to articulate what that outcome is.

And now we have Woody's response:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/opinion/sunday/woody-allen-speaks-out.html?_r=0

Am I reading this wrong or is Allen referring to himself in the third person in this paragraph?

"Could it be any clearer? Mr. Allen did not abuse Dylan; most likely a vulnerable, stressed-out 7-year-old was coached by Mia Farrow. This conclusion disappointed a number of people. The district attorney was champing at the bit to prosecute a celebrity case, and Justice Elliott Wilk, the custody judge, wrote a very irresponsible opinion saying when it came to the molestation, “we will probably never know what occurred.” "

Who is being quoted, then? It does not sound like the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of the Yale-New Haven Hospital quote is being continued from the previous paragraph.

I think he was just relaying what was in the report, albeit clumsily.

The Times still has editors, no?

I know other papers don't. But I thought the Times still had one or two.
