In the judicial system. But it's been bumped to the public and opened forever.

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.

Clearly, you're guilty of engaging in...

"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

Will Ronan's MSNBC show trigger more "exclusives" from Dylan in other media?

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 weird when someone goes from tweeting about how iTunes is confusing to becoming a prosecutor on a child molestation case without any segue.

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.

Does anyone know where I can find that obscure Vanity Fair article from 1992?

[ghostlight2]

Posted: 2/7/14 at 9:28pm

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.” "

No. Quotation marks were put in the wrong place.

[ghostlight2]

Posted: 2/7/14 at 9:52pm

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.

Interesting that Mia refused to take a lie detector test.

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

[ghostlight2]

Posted: 2/7/14 at 10:33pm

^^^ If that's true, then he is referring to himself in the third person. That paragraph is very strange. It's as if it is out of place. The man's a writer, ffs.

Interesting that the "expert opinion [bolding mine] that Dylan was not sexually abused by Mr. Allen" in the 4th paragraph becomes "there was no equivocation about the fact [bolding mine] that no abuse had taken place" later in the piece.

The Times still has editors, no?

[PalJoey]

They used to.

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

I'm not sure what your point is. All I'm saying is the paragraph makes no sense where it is placed. If it's a misplaced quotation mark, where does the quotation mark belong and who is being quoted? There's no way the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of the Yale-New Haven Hospital said any of that - and if they did, they are hardly being impartial.

I'd think a piece as important as this one would have been very carefully reviewed before releasing.
