I’ve been unable to speak on my situation for 7 months. It is with great care and awareness that I share my story with you today. Attached you will find testimony excerpts from the judge, a toxicologist, witnesses and myself. Find the full statements here https://t.co/O8BZy0lwW7 pic.twitter.com/QBV4yus2zs

He misspelled his own name at the end of his statement?

lol good catch

$500 million settlement from Michigan State to the survivors of Nassar's abuse.

Uh, he is really twisting the words of the judge there. She is saying that Tadros' statement is a kind of statement that can be proved right or wrong, not that it's already been done. My belief in his innocence is not exactly heightened by this.

frankly i have no idea who this dude is but smdh that the social media age has led us to a point where someone calling themselves ‘gaslampkiller’ is protesting their innocence on twitter in all seriousness

Are these mega settlements going to move the needle in how universities deal with the monsters on their payrolls?

The 1998 tobacco settlement was $206 billion. How are tobacco manufacturers doing these days?

Not as well as in 98? Is this a valid comparison?

That's an excellent point, Frederik.

don't adopt.

that's your takeaway from this whole thing?

Yeah, that’s a vile thing to post.

Jesus, that poor family.

Pretty convincing post by Moses.

As always, compare it to the custody ruling from 1993: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/danny-shea/heres-the-1993-woody-alle_b_4746866.html?guccounter=1. One glaring problem: Several adults, including professionals, had noticed Allen had a deeply problematic relationship with Dylan for years before 1992, so Moses' claims that he never saw anything wrong rings false.

16 women come forward to allege sexual harassment by Morgan Freeman https://t.co/M0nLysSE0E

— Sam Stein (@samstein) May 24, 2018

The Vancouver skytrain system launched announcements voiced by Morgan Freeman yesterday.

They've been pulled obviously.

Morgan Freeman seemed inevitable, this is a man who dates (dated?) his step-granddaughter

that moses farrow post is seriously disturbing and, for me, pretty hard to argue with. i basically don't know what to think about this anymore, except that tombot otm.

The basic principle of 'believe the victim' should always be applied in the absence of clear and compelling contradictory evidence. Moses Farrow offers clear contradictory testimony and some contradicting evidence. he is at last half-compelling. now all I can say is this is a hugely tangled mess that outsiders are ill-equipped to disentangle.

tombot otm

There is no evidence in his post, though?

I don't want to dive wholeheartedly into that conversation, but it's completely possible that the Farrow household was a complete mess and abusive, that Allen was a good dad to one of the kids, and that he also was a complete creep

all this does is show that the solution was ugly all around, not just on one side, with one kid saying it's implausible Allen would be inappropriate with one of the other kids, because he was nice to the writer

yep

barring a confession by one of the principals, we're never going to have certainty

The 'evidence', such as it is, consists of his factually verifiable description of the attic space where Dylan recalled the assault and the lack of toy electric trains which form such a central part of her story. But, no, he doesn't post photos of the attic to corroborate his testimony. So, you are technically correct to say no physical evidence was offered.

the situation is so confused and awful it's hard to know what to make of it. but moses makes a specific argument for why the specific abuse against dylan couldn't have happened that day, and he was a witness. has that been refuted anywhere?

Doesn't that account of Moses kinda contradicts Judge Wilks' statement?

That report put an end to any chance of criminal charges being brought against my father. A second, 14-month investigation by the New York State Department of Social Services, reached the same conclusion as Yale/New Haven: “No credible evidence was found that [Dylan Farrow] has been abused or maltreated.” Nevertheless, when a judge granted custody of Satchel and Dylan to Mia, at 15, I chose the path of least resistance, and also stayed with my mother.

Seems quite different from...

In his 33-page decision in June 1993,[9] Justice Elliott Wilk rejected Allen's bid for custody of the three children, and denied Allen immediate visitation rights with Dylan, saying of Allen's behavior toward Dylan that it was "grossly inappropriate and that measures must be taken to protect her".[9][8][63] His criticism of Allen's parenting was harsh.[64][20] Rejecting Allen's portrayal of Farrow as a "woman scorned", Wilk said there was no credible evidence that she had coached Dylan, and he criticized Allen for his "trial strategy" of turning family members and employees against one another.

criminal investigation vs. custody case

those two are about the custody if i understand correctly

Yeah, that’s a vile thing to post.

i am sorry. it certainly wasn't my intention, or the only thing that i deduced from that blogpost. But it was certainly a factor that didn't help in this situation, adopting a whole bunch of people from all kinds of circumstances into a showbiz home that probably already wasn't functioning too well (judging from that blogpost)

adoption is a very, very tricky process, even in safe, stable, households with, say 1 adopted child and 1 biological child.

JUST IN - Harvey Weinstein is expected to turn himself in to the NYPD relating to sexual misconduct charges as early as tomorrow @brynnCNN reports. #BREAKING

Weinstein can afford some high-powered attorneys. No doubt he's lined up his legal team now.

Several adults, including professionals, had noticed Allen had a deeply problematic relationship with Dylan for years before 1992, so Moses' claims that he never saw anything wrong rings false.

besides indeed citing on this point one of mia farrow's friends, one professional french teacher, and one of the battery of child therapists this family seems to have been keeping employed even before any of this happened, this document also states for the record that mia farrow is a wonderful loving mother who adores each child equally and that it just isn't credible that she'd subject any of them to any of this if it weren't true, so if it's bedrock text of some sort then i guess there's a whole lot more in the moses post that "rings false"

no idea what happened anymore but sorry to all these kids, jesus, no one should have to be raised by any of these people tbh

So the takeaway isn't "don't adopt," it's "don't get adopted by people who don't have their shit together."

(that huffpo piece picks out the "she's not perfect!" part but if u read the whole document it's willing to go rather further than that, xp to myself)
