Cara Maria Rosa,
questo e’ il breve chapeau che ho scritto introducendo la lettera di Dylan denunciando Woodie Allen.
Un abbraccio,
Emilio
Woodie Allen recipient of a Golden Globe award 2014 and nominated for a Oscar 2014 accused directly by his stepdaughter of sexual abuse (an accusation dating from 1992 about which nothing was ever done….).
Many stories in the papers today remind us that the family is still the place where most child sexual, physical and emotional abuse takes place. Yes, religious figures of all religions, with most attention being paid to the Catholic Church, have abused children. But let us remember that it is still the family the most dangerous place for a child. Today there is the news of a 31 year old woman raped since she was 11 by her stepfather who had 10 children with her in Argentina; another stepfather raping her stepdaughter in the Maldives but now she, 15, faces 100 lashes for being accused of having sex with another man as well (sharia law)… and the list goes on… We must continue to work on this…. to stop it!
Cara Maria Rosa, ciao, come stai? Ti spero bene e senza tanto freddo o disastri
causati da pioggia o neve…
Noi qui a Washington abbiamo avuto un inverno più’ rigido ma comunque sempre moderato, ed oggi erano 9 gradi!!! Gente in calzoncini corti per strada!!!Domani domenica, 10-11 gradi….
Prima di tutto ti ricordo del congresso di criminologia a Monterrey Messico, Agosto 2014: www.isc2014congress.com
Poi voglio portare alla tua attenzione una lettera al New York Times in cui la figlia di Mia Farrow accusa Woody Allen di violenze sessuali quando aveva 7 anni. Di questa accusa si aveva già parlato molto nel 1992 ma senza che ci fosse nessun seguimento. Di fatto quest’anno ha ricevuto un Golden Globe award ed e’ nominato per un Oscar. Non parliamo poi del matrimonio con la figlia adottiva di Mia Farrow Soo Yi, 21, a Venezia.
Dunque non sono solo certi vescovi cattolici o di altre religioni che chiudono gli occhi su queste cose… anche Hollywood….
Ti allego qualcosa che ho scritto per Facebook:

An Open Letter From Dylan Farrow
By DYLAN FARROW
Frances Silver
Dylan Farrow
(A note from Nicholas Kristof: In 1993, accusations that Woody Allen had abused his adoptive daughter, Dylan Farrow, filled the headlines, part of a sensational story about the celebrity split between Allen and his girlfriend, Mia Farrow. This is a case that has been written about endlessly, but this is the first time that Dylan Farrow herself has written about it in public. It’s important to note that Woody Allen was never prosecuted in this case and has consistently denied wrongdoing; he deserves the presumption of innocence. So why publish an account of an old case on my blog? Partly because the Golden Globe lifetime achievement award to Allen ignited a debate about the propriety of the award. Partly because the root issue here isn’t celebrity but sex abuse. And partly because countless people on all sides have written passionately about these events, but we haven’t fully heard from the young woman who was at the heart of them. I’ve written a column about this, but it’s time for the world to hear Dylan’s story in her own words.)
What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me. He talked to me while he did it, whispering that I was a good girl, that this was our secret, promising that we’d go to Paris and I’d be a star in his movies. I remember staring at that toy train, focusing on it as it traveled in its circle around the attic. To this day, I find it difficult to look at toy trains.
For as long as I could remember, my father had been doing things to me that I didn’t like. I didn’t like how often he would take me away from my mom, siblings and friends to be alone with him. I didn’t like it when he would stick his thumb in my mouth. I didn’t like it when I had to get in bed with him under the sheets when he was in his underwear. I didn’t like it when he would place his head in my naked lap and breathe in and breathe out. I would hide under beds or lock myself in the bathroom to avoid these encounters, but he always found me. These things happened so often, so routinely, so skillfully hidden from a mother that would have protected me had she known, that I thought it was normal. I thought this was how fathers doted on their daughters. But what he did to me in the attic felt different. I couldn’t keep the secret anymore.
When I asked my mother if her dad did to her what Woody Allen did to me, I honestly did not know the answer. I also didn’t know the firestorm it would trigger. I didn’t know that my father would use his sexual relationship with my sister to cover up the abuse he inflicted on me. I didn’t know that he would accuse my mother of planting the abuse in my head and call her a liar for defending me. I didn’t know that I would be made to recount my story over and over again, to doctor after doctor, pushed to see if I’d admit I was lying as part of a legal battle I couldn’t possibly understand. At one point, my mother sat me down and told me that I wouldn’t be in trouble if I was lying – that I could take it all back. I couldn’t. It was all true. But sexual abuse claims against the powerful stall more easily. There were experts willing attack my credibility. There were doctors willing to gaslight an abused child.
After a custody hearing denied my father visitation rights, my mother declined to pursue criminal charges, despite findings of probable cause by the State of Connecticut – due to, in the words of the prosecutor, the fragility of the “child victim.” Woody Allen was never convicted of any crime. That he got away with what he did to me haunted me as I grew up. I was stricken with guilt that I had allowed him to be near other little girls. I was terrified of being touched by men. I developed an eating disorder. I began cutting myself. That torment was made worse by Hollywood. All but a precious few (my heroes) turned a blind eye. Most found it easier to accept the ambiguity, to say, “who can say what happened,” to pretend that nothing was wrong. Actors praised him at awards shows. Networks put him on TV. Critics put him in magazines. Each time I saw my abuser’s face – on a poster, on a t-shirt, on television – I could only hide my panic until I found a place to be alone and fall apart.
Last week, Woody Allen was nominated for his latest Oscar. But this time, I refuse to fall apart. For so long, Woody Allen’s acceptance silenced me. It felt like a personal rebuke, like the awards and accolades were a way to tell me to shut up and go away. But the survivors of sexual abuse who have reached out to me – to support me and to share their fears of coming forward, of being called a liar, of being told their memories aren’t their memories – have given me a reason to not be silent, if only so others know that they don’t have to be silent either.
Today, I consider myself lucky. I am happily married. I have the support of my amazing brothers and sisters. I have a mother who found within herself a well of fortitude that saved us from the chaos a predator brought into our home.
But others are still scared, vulnerable, and struggling for the courage to tell the truth. The message that Hollywood sends matters for them.
What if it had been your child, Cate Blanchett? Louis CK? Alec Baldwin? What if it had been you, Emma Stone? Or you, Scarlett Johansson? You knew me when I was a little girl, Diane Keaton. Have you forgotten me?
Woody Allen is a living testament to the way our society fails the survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
So imagine your seven-year-old daughter being led into an attic by Woody Allen. Imagine she spends a lifetime stricken with nausea at the mention of his name. Imagine a world that celebrates her tormenter.
Are you imagining that? Now, what’s your favorite Woody Allen movie?
Grazie infinite ad Emilio Viano e alla sua capacità di rendere visibile anche l’invisibilità di vittime rese tali da presunti intoccabili,un forte abbraccio corale al maestro della Vittimologia e alle vittime tutte..anche quelle silenti a cui auguro di trovare la forza di dire ciò che hanno subito e capiscano il diritto di dover accusare chi tanto le ha traumatizzate,Maria Rosa Dominici
