Allen V. Farrow

I've been watching this series on MAX. Its well done, and has interviews with a lot of the children and friends of Farrow. All I can say is Allen really managed to turn the narrative against her in every way. He sexually abused their young daughter, Dylan. He had sex with her high school aged daughter, Soon-yi, and took naked pictures of her. If you look back at his films, his lust for much younger women is quite apparent - and he is always the one who pairs up with them.

This is very old news. But at the time things were happening, Farrow kept quiet because she was trying to shield her children. Allen used the press against her at every turn. At least in this series you get to hear her side of it. She's not crazy.

He's a great filmmaker. But I cannot watch his films any more without thinking of his pedophilia.

I knew he was a child molester at the time, but many defended him because they saw him as a Democrat. Rape culture continues unabated.

He means money to New York.
He was able to influence the investigation and manipulate the press. He's very Trumpy in a lot of ways.

I thought it was about a person named Allen V. Farrow. I'd probably use the title Allen vs. Farrow. But that's just me. He's still a criminal who should have gone to prison. Just like the Orange Turd.
