Allen went on to marry Ronan’s adopted sister, Soon-Yi Previn, in 1997. The couple now have two children. As for Dylan, she writes in the NYT piece that she began cutting herself and developed an eating disorder after the alleged “sexual relationship” she endured with Allen.
“Last week, Woody Allen was nominated for his latest Oscar. But this time, I refuse to fall apart,” she explained on why she decided to speak out now. “It felt like a personal rebuke, like the awards and accolades were a way to tell me to shut up and go away. But the survivors of sexual abuse who have reached out to me – to support me and to share their fears of coming forward, of being called a liar, of being told their memories aren’t their memories – have given me a reason to not be silent, if only so others know that they don’t have to be silent either.” (He also received the Golden Globe lifetime achievement award last month, and was then mocked by Ronan via Twitter. “Missed the Woody Allen tribute — did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?” he wrote Jan. 12.)
So, with the survivors in mind, Farrow called out big A-listers, who have worked with the legendary Hollywood director over the years. “What if it had been your child, Cate Blanchett? Louis CK? Alec Baldwin? What if it had been you, Emma Stone? Or you, Scarlett Johansson? You knew me when I was a little girl, Diane Keaton. Have you forgotten me?” she wrote. “Woody Allen is a living testament to the way our society fails the survivors of sexual assault and abuse.”
