I presume that many of you have now seen the first episode of the biased smear job that is “Allen v. Farrow.” I already dealt with it last week. It was an infuriating watch, to say the least, mostly because if you know the actual facts of the case then you realize how tainted and propagandous directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick’s HBO doc is.
I just received this email from the Woody Allen camp. As have many of my other colleagues.
“Over the past few weeks, we have received many requests to comment on the HBO documentary Allen v. Farrow. Below please find a statement, attributable to a spokesperson for Woody Allen and Soon–Yi Previn. Thank you.”
“These documentarians had no interest in the truth. Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods. Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days ‘to respond.’ Of course, they declined to do so.
“As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false. Multiple agencies investigated them at the time and found that, whatever Dylan Farrow may have been led to believe, absolutely no abuse had ever taken place. It is sadly unsurprising that the network to air this is HBO – which has a standing production deal and business relationship with Ronan Farrow. While this shoddy hit piece may gain attention, it does not change the facts.
