Karen - Woody Allen vs. Dylan Farrow: This spectacle is on you, Nick Kristof

Dylan Farrow wrote a open letter in the New York Times that alleged sexual abused by Woody Allen in 1993. The letter revealed that Woody Allen sexually molested Dylan Farrow when her parents were engaged in a high-profile custody battle.

The case has brought the discussion of what we must do when they've been wronged and the judgements we make about his life, art and the public scandal.

Maureen Orth, who is a writer from Vanity Fair magazine, describes a story of a chaotic household whose had a case of sexual abuse. The scandal made people re-read those stories because Woody Allen married the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, who is the mother of his children.

Allen has not replied but only said that the letter was "untrue and disgraceful". According to Margaret Sullivan, who is a New York Times public editor, Allen wants to make a rebuttal in the same forum that Farrow was allowed to use. He has always denied the charges.

On a report that Allen was interviewed, he said "What was the scandal? I feel in love with this girl, married her". These was about Allen getting marriage to Mia Farrow daughter.

Dahila Lithwick, who is a State legal analyst did not allow the "Court of Public Opinion" render a judgment in this impossible debate. She wrote “In the Court of Public Opinion there are no rules of evidence, no burdens of proof, no cross-examinations, and no standards of admissibility,”.

There are no questions and no answers, we can not judge. Even their family know the truth of the story.

I have read some news about this topic and people make terrible comments about Allen, which he should died in jail. Tabloids asked if America is ready to forgive Woody Allen, but he did not say he was sorry or assume that, and even are proofs of sexual abuse.

All of this can be understood by the fact that Mia got upset because Allen got married with her daughter. There are a lot of resentful things in this case. We can believe in what we want but we will never know the truth.
