I lived "down the road" from the Farrow apartment until recently and can't say I've aware of any over-riding belief in her story by local law enforcement or the DA's office. Recently sold my apartment but found that the neighborhood either didn't care much about the long ago case or were as divided as much of the general populace on the outcome. The gossiping doormen, dog walkers, cleaning ladies and nannies ( Yes. They talk about us...allllll of us so don't fergit to tip in December,
) don't speak too well of her. I also watched her pull an entitled act at a local restaurant that made me wonder...perhaps a bit too much. The ex and I had an acrimonious divorce (thankfully not in the local tabloids) and I would like to root for Mia just out of solidarity BUT well she's out and out lied too frequently. That whole Ronan/Satchel birth story was a tad telling even if she doesn't see it that way and I can't forget Dory Previn's writing a song about her. This was not a downtrodden powerless "lil" woman up against an influential man with the cards stacked against her..this was 2 institutions duking it out during a child custody case.
Putting that to the side, I don't doubt that her children are intelligent and well educated people which doesn't change my belief that she helped mightily to divide her children between those who think Mom was right, those who think Dad was right, oh and the one(s) who just want to have have a peaceful Thanksgiving meal with the entire clan. Soon Yi has remained quiet about the entire affair despite being basically disowned by the woman who brought her up and gets her own little corner.
So who is Mia? The self effacing mother who will do anything to protect her children (well as long as they don't steal her man?) or Electra?
The child-woman that stole 2 other womens' husbands and apparently had a song or 2 written about at least one relationship's affect on a wife or a woman who learned from her life's mistakes?
I think both adults were idiots but see Ms Farrow as allowing her wants and needs to re write and overwhelm that of her children.
JMO and I hope before either of the adults leave this Earth that their children can come to some reconciliation at least among themselves if not with those who raised them.
