Re: Reader comment
Interesting reader comment from:
Mia Farrow has 14 children. Of the 10 who were adopted, 3 are dead and 2 have been disowned. Of the 3 dead, at least 1 was estranged from her mother for years. Farrow's eldest daughter, Lark, who died of AIDS, struggled to raise two HIV-positive children alone for years, with no help from her mother (and presumably, Andre Previn). She and her younger sister both had behavioral issues as adolescents: shoplifting, drugs, and unplanned pregnancy. Another daughter from post-Allen adoptions died of heart disease in her teens. A son, also a post-Allen adoptee, shot himself shortly after moving or being kicked out of her home.
Like an earlier poster, I know something about the Farrow household (Allen never lived with her) due to the small world of Manhattan rich kids, though from the service side of things. A colleague who worked there described the Farrow apartment as "a sty," not fit for children to live in. "You know cat ladies? She's that, except with children," he said. The person described the Previn children as gifted but out of control; one had behavioral problems severe enough to merit expulsion from multiple tony prep schools. My colleague was in Farrow's employ well before the accusation and the custody battle. I believe there were only 5-7 kids at that point.

Mia Farrow sounds less like a parent and more like a hoarder of children. And her adopted kids seem to be always on shakier ground. The way she talks about the children she cuts off is pretty shocking. Same goes for Andre Previn. Other parents struggle to do right children who've murdered people, yet Soon-Yi "doesn't exist for me" because she stole mom's boyfriend? And if Farrow truly believed Allen molested their daughter, why wouldn't she be TERRIFIED for Soon-Yi? Why wouldn't she keep a door open so Soon-Yi could eventually escape an abusive relationship with a monster? Instead, Farrow cut her off absolutely. And whenever she and Dylan revive the accusation, there never seems to be a component of fear and longing for the two daughters Soon-Yi is now raising with Allen.
It's a curious thing: People seem to utterly ignore Soon-Yi's agency in this matter, which smacks more than a little of racism-as though she has no volition of her own. I would guess that she's as strong-willed as her mother, in actuality. Oethaps she understood how screwed up her home life was, more so than her siblings. Moses Farrow says Allen was the opposite of Farrow, orderly and kind. To a young woman raised in a chaotic, dirty home with an ever-expanding cast of children and a revolving door for hired help (like my friend), that must have been attractive. And if there was an element of "Fuck you" to a mother that was abusive and clearly cared more about her bio kids than the adoptees, that's sad, but not a tragedy. wintersmith on February 1, 2018 at 10:31 AM
now get it distributed
A very good idea but no one will distribute it. As you can see this article was written by someone, and I wish we could find out who, in February.
