MIA FARROW: I didn't know
the doctor had to report this.

I went just to be
sure she was all right,

and she's not all right, Woody!

FRANK MACO: I
received a complaint

about alleged sexual
abuse on one Woody Allen.

SPEAKER 2: Woody
gave a press conference,

and our jaws dropped.

He's turned it all back and
focused on his relationship

with Soon-Yi.

SPEAKER 2: This
is a woman scorned.

This is a unhinged woman.

That's Woody's narrative.
He's trying to distract.

MIA: You brought charges
against me as an unfit mother.

WOODY ALLEN: And
I'm gonna make them stick.

SPEAKER 3: There was
no sense that the motivation

was his deep love
for these children.

Every little idiosyncrasy
was used against me.

SPEAKER 4: Everybody

there was probable cause,

but this case hinged
on the testimony

of a seven-year-old girl.

At this time,
I'd like to read a written decision.

This decision addresses
certain sexual assault allegations

surrounding events in Bridgewater,
Connecticut,

on August 4th, 1992,
involving Mr. Woody Allen.

I consider the state
police investigation

to be thorough and complete,

and I commend the
investigator for their efforts

performed in an atmosphere
that was anything but conducive

to a smooth-running
investigation.

As to the allegations contained

in the submitted arrest
warrant application,

I find that probable
cause exists.

(current day): The option was
clear... Have Allen arrested,

go to trial ultimately,

and then put the child on
the stand as my first witness.

But my concern was the
further traumatization of the child.

She had already
been through so much.

Was it truly in her best
interest to put her on the stand?

Reporter 1: This is a story of two
of the biggest stars in the world.

Reporter 2: The father is Woody

The mother is Mia Farrow,
his frequent costar

and the mother of his three children,
two of them adopted.

Reporter 3: Woody and Mia
have been together for 12 years,

but never married and
kept separate residences.

he's in love with another

The child was also there
with a female state trooper

that she had a fairly
good relationship with.

I'm on the floor with Dylan,
playing with the toys.

I'm telling her about my son.

After some time,
I start questioning her

about her relationship with
what I called "Daddy Woody."

She was totally unresponsive.

The strongest proponents for
prosecution just looked at me,

and we all shrugged
our shoulders.

We weren't going

(at press conference):
I found probable cause.

Yet despite meeting
that standard,

and because of the risk of
exposing a child complainant

to the rigors, uncertainties,

and possible traumatization
of such actions,

accordingly,
I am announcing my decision

not to initiate a prosecution.

(current day): The case,
for all practical purposes,

ended with my decision,

September of '93.

Reporter: Prosecutor says
he will always be available

to Dylan as she grows up

to explain what happened and
why he did not press charges.

Dylan may certainly wonder

if authorities made
the right decision

by excusing Woody's
alleged behavior

Academy of Arts and Sciences."

so fascinated by Woody Allen.

Is it just talent or
is it something else?

- Good writing, good directing.

- You usually get a really good movie at the end of it.
- Yeah.

- He has a mystique to him, you know?
- Right.

because he trusts them.

to my loyal friend

Woody Allen.

Thank you for having

some of the greatest
characters for women.

For any actor,
it's always an extraordinary experience

to have the chance to
work those dialogues.

I feel very lucky to
be sitting on this couch

with, with a, a proven genius.

Claire Dederer: We have
this idea of the genius,

the artist, the doer,
the person who's making things happen

and they're controlling
the narrative,

and we wanna align with
that and we wanna believe in it.

We wanna identify
with these characters.

We spend our lives listening
to their side of the story.

We wanna be next to power.
We wanna be next to the winner.

PJ Grisar: Woody
Allen is someone who

we accept as kind
of this philosopher.

And if we hear anything
troubling about a person

that sort of might've, uh,

informed our values at all,

we're not gonna
wanna believe it.

I think so much of this
is about our willingness

to not know the things so that
we don't have to deal with it.

When you're forced to see,
when you're forced to know...

it's so dispiriting.

It's so hopeless.
It's so uncomfortable.

It's just easier, right?

layer of distortion

when this kind of an allegation
is raised against someone who is

not just beloved in
a traditional sense,

but beloved in a
way where people

have an identity
association with it.

Where it's existential to them that
they grew up loving Woody Allen.

of individuals who are accused

of terrible and serious
things in a credible way.

I was

reluctantly,
grudgingly realizing that

I, as a public person by then,

had to make a decision about

whether I was gonna
turn away from this.

And so, I tweeted about it

in a much more direct
way than I had before.

Dylan: At some
point in the evening,

my husband came in, and he said,

"You know,

kind of a light bulb

calling me and crying.

And saying that it just
meant so much to her that,

after we had had all these fights
where I had told her to shut up,

that someone had
finally acknowledged her.

Dylan: That was sort of the
watershed moment for me

Dylan: What's your
favorite Woody Allen movie?

Before you answer,
you should know,

when I was 7 years old,

Woody Allen took me by the hand

and lead me into a
dim closet-like attic.

He told me to lay on my stomach

and play with my
brother's electric train set.

Then, he sexually assaulted me.

For as long as I could remember,

my father had been doing
things to me that I didn't like.

I didn't like it when he would
stick his thumb in my mouth.

I didn't like it when he
would place his head

in my naked lap and
breathe in and breathe out.

I would hide under the beds

or lock myself in the bathroom
to avoid these encounters.

But he always found me.

I thought this was how fathers
doted on their daughters.

But what he did to me
in the attic felt different.

I couldn't keep
the secret anymore.

Others are still scared,
vulnerable,

and struggling for the
courage to tell the truth.

The message that Hollywood
sends matters for them.

So,
imagine your 7-year-old daughter

being led into an
attic by Woody Allen.

Imagine she spends
a lifetime stricken

with nausea at the
mention of his name.

Imagine a world that
celebrates her tormentor.

Woody: Imagine my sadness

her mother's goal.

Mia: I have so, so much respect

'Cause he can't really,

when Dylan grew up,

she would somehow realize
how her mother had used her,

taking full advantage of
her age and vulnerability

to deprive her of her father,

vengeance toward me.

Reporter 1: Film director
Woody Allen promises

to fight renewed allegations
of child molestation.

Reporter 2: The "Times"

blasting the
allegations as false,

girlfriend Mia Farrow

for manipulating Dylan.

"I love her,"
he writes of his daughter.

"And hope one day,
she will grasp

"how she has been exploited
by a mother more interested in

her own festering anger than
her daughter's well-being."

Reporter 3: He writes,
"Not that I doubt Dylan hasn't come

"to believe she's been molested,
but if,

"from the age of 7,
a vulnerable child is taught

"by a strong mother
to hate her father,

the image of me Mia wanted
to establish had taken root."

Dylan: It was very difficult

saying not true,

Moses Farrow's interview is in

she was 7 are flat-out made up.

Dylan: I got a call from

my mom saying that

there was a reporter

of lying about my abuse,

and accusing my
mom of abusing him.

Moses goes on to say that,

I never saw anybody
dragged down stairs.

I never saw anybody

Daisy: I had no idea
why he would do this.

He's suddenly speaking ill
of my family and my mom.

There was the typical,
you know, grounding, yelling,

when we did something wrong,
but nothing abusive.

Daisy: No.

The things he accuses
her of are just ludicrous.

I absolutely would have
remembered if she locked us in barns

and, you know,
smacked us and screamed at us.

Lili Loofbourow: So there seemed
to be not a coordinated effort exactly,

but a series of
commenters defending him

in a way that I found
kind of perplexing,

and it seemed to be repeating
a lot of the same talking points.

There is a very strong fact

in Woody's column,
and that is this.

where everybody was interviewed,

Ronan: The fact the Yale-New
Haven report is still cited is

evidence of just
how powerful it is

when a PR machine

plants an idea into
the public narrative.

I, at the time,
was in the media and was getting

the emails from Leslee Dart and
Woody Allen's powerful PR team.

There were dozens of reporters from
major news outlets on those emails.

She basically
positioned this as,

here's this way you can attack
this young woman's credibility.

Here's a validator you can put
on-air to say that she's brainwashed.

When you have Leslee
Dart on your payroll,

that is someone who can say

you better print this,
or I'm gonna withhold

my clients from

Alissa Wilkinson:
Leslee Dart reps a lot of

important celebrities.

She's known for
being one of the people

who might blackball a
journalist for covering something

in a way she didn't like,

which bears itself out when
Ronan himself wrote an article

for the "Hollywood
Reporter" about his father.

Leslee Dart banned
the "Hollywood Reporter"

from coming to the luncheon

release of Allen's new movie.

Reporter: It does tell us a bit of
how Hollywood works though, right?

- That these publicists are very powerful.

They're out there
to create a narrative

around their influence,
around their client.

Ronan: There is a culture of

transactional access journalism,

where powerful PR people

trade stories and plant stories

public consciousness

whatever their clients want.

Is it a story? Is it a fantasy?

Reporter: Dylan Farrow

Dylan may have been

Parental alienation spread

like wildfire across

court all the time.

in the case law,

and it's absolutely
ubiquitous that

that claim will be
made in family court.

It's made almost every day in
every state across the country.

It got a hold in
the court system

because it was easier
to blame a mother

than to blame a father
for being an abuser.

It was way more believable

that a mother can be
hysterical and angry and upset

than a father
could be an abuser.

Not only do courts not
believe abuse when it's alleged

by mothers against fathers,

women lose custody for
alleging abuse against fathers,

and they particularly
lose custody

when they allege child sexual
abuse and child physical abuse.

Hollywood had protected

other predators to the
way people had protected

her father and renewed

like Picasso putting out a

So, you know, there was this...

way in which, for a long time,

aggro male behaviors

what made people
interested in them.

The big question
is what do you do

with these things
that are out there

you? Do you never revisit them?

Or do you revisit them

You know,
I think the mistake we women make

Hey! You guys, are you listening?

there tends to be, um,

a response from,
in particular, male fans,

who sort of argue with

the whole premise that

there might be

a biographical case to be made

against Woody's work.

But I actually think
that acknowledging

the biographical element,
withstanding it,

and still continuing
to consume the art

is a stronger argument

for the endurance and the
beauty and the importance of art,

rather than pretending that
the biography doesn't touch it.

It's so much easier when
nobody's making any money, isn't it?

Wagner's not getting any
money when we perform

his operas, you know?

In the process of

understanding the
mind of someone

how his mind worked

and what made things tick,
it was...

giving him box office,
giving him press,

giving him more power.

I was increasing the power
that he was able to abuse.

- Hi! - We came to you...

we, we came here!

You came here, you did.

I'm so glad to see you.

If Mommy can catch it.

Look. See what she did?

Dylan: There's so much

about what I've been through

that I'll never be
able to fully explain.

I think that the best gift that

I could've given my
daughter is that she has

a really wonderful father.

Sean: Let's go.

You know, honestly, sometimes...

when I watch my husband
and my daughter together,

I actually feel
a little jealous.

But...

it's, it's bittersweet

because I know
I'm paying it forward.
