Like an unlucky bystander, Hollywood has been dragged into the 22-year war over whether Woody Allen molested his adopted daughter Dylan when she was 7. On Feb. 1, Dylan -- now 28 and living under another name in Florida -- posted a letter on the blog of New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, a close friend of her mother, Mia Farrow. The letter offered new and disturbing details about the abuse that Dylan -- backed by her mother and her brother, MSNBC host Ronan -- says took place. The charges erupted in 1992 after Mia discovered her then-boyfriend Allen had begun an affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn (then 19 or 21) and while Allen and Farrow were engaged in a custody battle over Moses, Dylan and Ronan. Authorities investigated, and no charges were brought against Allen.

Via spokeswoman Leslee Dart, Allen called Dylan's new letter "untrue and disgraceful," and his lawyer Elkin Abramowitz appeared on NBC's Today on Feb. 4, saying the molestation idea was "implanted" in her head by her mother. On Wednesday, People published an interview with Dylan's brother Moses Farrow in which he echoed those comments and defended his father. "My mother drummed it into me to hate my father for tearing apart the family and sexually molesting my sister," he said. "And I hated him for her for years. I see now that this was a vengeful way to pay him back for falling in love with Soon-Yi."

Typical of Hollyweird. So out of touch.  :mental: :bs:

Laws are for the little people, not for the elite.
