And it is less to do with Dylan's brave letter and her supporters with "factual evidence" and more with everything Woody Allen presented himself. Woody Allen damned himself.
Roman Polanski was braver fleeing the country and not saying a word.
Listen, we can say he was in the attic, wasn't in the attic till we're blue in the face. But the most damning thing about Woody's side is the exhibition of classic abuser characteristics. Subtly discrediting the victim while seemingly simultaneously offering pity to the victim by casting the blame on someone else. It's not your fault, it's her fault for tricking you. Because he knows he cannot approach Dylan's arguments head on, he seeks to create a cloud of confusion by creating a he said/ she said scenario for which there IS no evidence. In this case, it's scorned Mia and her fury.
I don't know why anyone questions Dylan when we have the example of Soon Yi staring us straight it the face. It doesn't matter if she was 17 or 21, this young woman was meant to see Woody as a parental/guardian type figure from a young age. Woody boldly crossed this moral boundary, and no one sees the parallel?
Woody never answers the glaring questions straight on, and instead chooses to attack the moral fiber of Mia.
To paraphrase a couple other opinion pieces, what's more logical, that Mia was so furious with Woody "falling in love" with his stepdaughter ( I don't care if Mia and Woody weren't married) she choose to implant one of her children with a false memory of one of the gravest crimes of human nature for which she had to struggle with for 20 years and has brought up again just so Woody wouldn't win a stupid award, or that he did it?
