I tried — I really tried not to get swept up in the back-and-forth between those who think Woody Allen, once upon a time molested his adopted daughter and those who think there was no molestation but that his "ex," Mia Farrow, convinced the daughter there was and has been trying to convince others and…well, it's not a pretty story, no matter which side you believe.
It long ago moved out of the judicial system and into the Court of Public Opinion. The main public accusation was made by the adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, in this article and given wider support by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, a few pieces in Vanity Fair and others. Woody Allen himself wrote a response to these accusations and there was a longer, more detailed one from his friend, Robert Weide.
More recently, Ronan Farrow (brother of Dylan) wrote a piece for the Hollywood Reporter reviving the discussion. And now in the newest installment of this drama, Bob Weide has posted a pretty strong response to Ronan. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
