Allen V Farrow Team Denies Doc Omits Facts Supporting Woody Allen

The Guardian essay includes a statement from Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick defending “Allen v. Farrow” from Freeman’s criticism. Per the publication: “The Guardian sent a detailed list of ‘Allen v Farrow’s’ omissions to Ziering and Dick. Instead of responding to them individually, they sent this response, which they requested be printed in full.” Related Julio Torres Sets New HBO Comedy Series After ‘Los Espookys’ Cancellation Who Should Return to ‘The White Lotus’?

The full statement reads: “The filmmakers behind ‘Allen v Farrow’ meticulously examined tens of thousands of pages of documents, including court transcripts, police reports, eyewitness testimonies and child welfare records. We spoke with dozens of persons involved with the case who had first-hand knowledge of the events and whose accounts could be independently corroborated. ‘Allen v Farrow’ is a complete, thorough, and accurate presentation of the facts.” Soon after the first episode of “Allen v. Farrow” aired in February, Woody Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn issued a joint statement condemning the project and the network for airing it. The statement reads: “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.” The statement continues, “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.” “Allen v. Farrow” continues airing Sunday nights at 9pm ET on HBO.
