Woody Allen’s side fires back! His press agent Leslee Dart sent out this statement.

“Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful. He will be responding very soon.

At the time, a thorough investigation was conducted by court appointed independent experts. The experts concluded there was no credible evidence of molestation; that Dylan Farrow had an inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality; and that Dylan Farrow had likely been coached by her mother Mia Farrow. No charges were ever filed.”

Me? I’m amazed the press just picked this up as if Dylan Farrow were telling the truth unquestionably. We’ve already seen that Ronan Farrow is totally manipulated by his mother. Mia Farrow has maintained a hot burning revenge against Woody Allen for 22 years.

And the New York Times: they let Dylan Farrow’s letter run in a blog, not in the paper. The letter ran with no attempt to contact Allen. It was an ambush. Read my prior item about Nicholas Kristof’s relationship to Mia Farrow. The Times should be ashamed that they let Kristof do this.
