In newspapers across the country, Woody’s lawyers were quoted vowing to sueand me, but they never did. Meanwhile, the story kept gaining traction. Two months later, on December 3, Liz Smith was at it again: “WOODY: PLENTY STEAMED,” the headline proclaimed, “at how he’s coming off in the media” after “the now-famous’s legal team helped to make sure that, if we were sued, our case would stand up in court.
It was not until a decade later, in 2002, that I met Mia Farrow for the first time and saw firsthand how Dylan had been affected by her ordeal. Mia had come to Washington to appear in a benefit theater performance, and Dylan accompanied her. To my eyes, Dylan, then 17, appeared to be extremely shy and tentative. She did not want her mother to leave her sight.
For decades Woody has claimed total exoneration by citing the Yale New Haven Hospital report that Maco had commissioned only to inquire whether Dylan could be a reliable witness. Instead, the hospital staff went off on their own and concluded—based on interviews conducted by two social workers whose boss prohibited them from testifying and whose notes were destroyed—that Dylan was prone to fantasy and probably made up the molestation charge. Mia was never interviewed.
Turns out all it took was an agenda and lack of journalistic ethics! WAnon
Orth, the Team Mia writer? Hard pass.
Farrow is a criminal in my mind for not believing how evil he was for so long!
