Allen v. Farrow, an upcoming four-part HBO docuseries, will dive into the disturbing accusations of sexual abuse made against director Woody Allen by his daughter Dylan Farrow and her mother Mia Farrow. Allen was first accused of molesting his daughter in 1992, when a seven-year-old Dylan allegedly told her mother Mia that her father had touched her in an inappropriate place. Dylan Farrow addressed the molestation allegations in her own words for the first time in 2014, when she published an open letter in the New York Times describing the alleged abuse. Unsurprisingly, Allen has consistently denied the allegations, often leaning on transparently weak defenses—such as the argument that he couldn’t have abused Dylan because it would’ve been illogical—as well as implying that Mia Farrow had planted the accusations in Dylan’s head.
