Moses Farrow speaks out, "I'd be very happy to take my father's surname" ...

Today the article "I'd Be Very Happy To Take My Father's Surname" by Hadley Freeman was published where Moses Farrow, adopted son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen speaks out where he clearly talks about an atmosphere of anger and hatred in his family, the problems of transracial adoption – and his certainty that his sister was not abused by their father.

Moses had always avoided the limelight, but in 2018 he felt he could do so no more. He published an excoriating blog arguing for his father’s innocence and describing Dylan’s allegation as “ridiculous”: “There was no electric train set in that attic. There was, in fact, no way for kids to play up there, even if we had wanted to,” he wrote. “As a trained professional, I know that child molestation is a compulsive sickness … yet some would have you believe that, at the age of 56, [Allen] suddenly decided to become a child molester.”

...

This is a matter of public record. In a widely read interview with Mia in Vanity Fair, the journalist Maureen Orth writes that after Dylan said her father touched her on her “private part”, her paediatrician asked where her private part was: “Dylan pointed to her shoulder.” Mia and Dylan then left the doctor’s office and went for an ice-cream. Orth writes that “according to people close to the situation”, Dylan told her mother she had been “embarrassed” in the doctor’s office. When they returned the next day, Dylan indicated to the doctor that Allen had touched her vagina. “The doctor examined Dylan and found that she was intact,” Orth writes, yet he was obliged to call the police and report it.
