hard to fit the image of Thaddeus in that piece with what Thaddeus himself said
not if you accept that Mia was an abuser. but again, probably better for another thread.

given the deep, deep nightmare i have only just learned was thaddeus' pre-adoption life i think anybody's version of mia farrow-- not to mention the other kids-- would have been a bewildering relief.
(for the same reason i do agree that implying mia drove him to suicide without otherwise describing his experience is a mistake.)

One thing I didn’t understand- Moses claims Mia was on a tear against woody, ongoing for 7 months prior the alleged day of abuse. He goes to great lengths to describe Mia’s vitriol towards woody. But he claims woody and Mia went out for dinner together that night. Idk but if I hated my ex and he was also mad at me about stuff, we would not be going out for dinner together.

none of us have ever married Frank Sinatra and after claiming to have been betrayed by a subsequent mate, said "we never really broke up" with Frank.
There are too many levels of madness in this story for nonpros to deal with.

These are crazy people
There are degrees of craziness, but there's also a raging narcissist who has been trying to smear Mia Farrow for 25 years at this point. The Woody camp has been lying over and over, Moses' account is filled with elipses and untruths. This is not a 'he said, she said' situation.

Look, at this point, the prior should be that anything defending Woody Allen is probably not true. It has been like that for decades at this point. And so much stuff in this blog post is sketchy. Just the simple thing: If Mia Farrow is an abusive mom, who drove the Previn children insane as well, wouldn't this be something that would have been brought up during the custody battle in 93? Is Woody Allen completely blind? Either 13 kids, a bunch of journalists, the whole court system, is almost conspiring to cover for Mia Farrow. Or this one guy is lying.

I can't begrudge anyone for washing their hands of this mess, but I honestly think it's important. Because the outcome isn't likely to be 'both sides are awful' as much as 'who knows' and then Woody Allen get's a standing ovation at his next Oscar nomination.

There is clearly room for all of the children's accounts (Ronan, Moses, Dylan) to be true, simultaneously. It was a big family and it can't have been possible for everyone to see everything, and Moses's account continually alludes to the situations in which family members were unaware of each other's behaviour. The train set evidence is not damning. You can remember getting mugged without remembering where it happened. And it's normal for children (and adults!) to cope with violence and bad behaviour by learning to normalise it.

So as @psmith worked out, it looks like Weinstein is ostentatiously carrying Elia Kazan’s biography. Is he allying himself with the man who notoriously outed his “commie” Hollywood peers, or trying to suggest he’s a victim of a witchhunt? https://t.co/nF52Z6QH8V— Janine Gibson (@janinegibson) May 25, 2018

Sure hope that Elia Kazan book is Weinstein signalling that he intends to rat out a bunch of other abusers in an attempt to save his own skin.

Talkshow host Charlie Rose was fired by CBS and PBS in November after he was accused of groping colleagues and walking around naked in front of them, allegations he denies. Last month, he was reported to have been pitching a new atonement TV series in which he interviews other accused men like him, according to Page Six.Celebrity chef Mario Batali took a leave of absence after he was accused by multiple women of inappropriate and abusive behaviour. After apologising, he has been “eyeing a second act”, according to the New York Times. Friends and associates say he is “pondering timelines” as to how he might step back into his career just months after it imploded, including by “creating a new company led by a powerful woman chief executive”.

Woody Allen was not accused by 'one woman in a child custody case', he instigated the custody case himself seven days after Mia Farrow told him about what Dylan was saying. It's the very first line in the custody ruling. Fuck that sack of shit so much, and fuck the journalists who keep uncritically repeating his lies.

https://www.scribd.com/document/205403621/Allen-v-Farrow-Custody-Ruling-June-7-1993
And btw this is an extract from the Eric Lax book Start to Finish, where Moses first spoke out:
"Woody says she called him many times late at night to scream…'You took my daughter, and I'm going to take yours," meaning Dylan…During one phone call to Woody, Farrow warned, 'I've got something planned for you." Allen asks if she's going to shoot him, to which Farrow reportedly responds: "…No, this is worse."
Allen a) provably lies about Mia Farrow as in the first example and b) tells these absolutely disgusting stories about her with no back up evidence as in the second example. And still people just say it's word against word. It's so gross.
