“This is a story that we thought we knew, but we really didn’t,” said Amy Ziering, the co-director of HBO’s ongoing documentary series, “Allen v. Farrow.” The story in question is that of the allegations of sexual assault and child abuse by director Woody Allen against his then seven-year-old daughter, Dylan. In just two weeks on air, the documentary has created a powder keg of talk, both on and off social media, as well as from Allen himself who has called the series “a shoddy hit piece” with “no interest in the truth.”
Allen has defended himself against these allegations for decades, reminding fans regularly that the lack of a criminal investigation and a report from Yale-New Haven Hospital exonerates him. In episode three of “Allen v. Farrow,” which aired tonight, that report is examined by directors Ziering and Kirby Dick, who showcase its numerous flaws in methodology...

The story of Woody Allen and his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow is not new, but HBO’s documentary series “Allen v. Farrow” has brought to light new details of the high-profile sexual abuse accusations against the filmmaker and never-before-seen family home videos that appear to support Dylan and her mother Mia Farrow’s claims.
Now, with the release of “Allen v. Farrow,” audiences hear directly from Farrow, both at the age of 35 and 7, as she details her experiences with Allen and his “intense affection” for her “all the time.”
Shortly after the first episode of the four-part docuseries debuted last Sunday, Allen and Soon-Yi Previn –neither of whom participated in the series — called the work a “hatchet job riddled with falsehoods.” Allen has also repeatedly denied molesting Dylan Farrow, who first reshared her account, as an adult,...

Skyhorse Publishing, which released Woody Allen’s memoir “Apropos of Nothing” last year, has accused HBO’s “Allen v. Farrow” of using audio snippets of Allen reading from the audiobook without permission.
In a statement, Skyhorse president Tony Lyons called the use of the audiobook in the Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering docuseries a “blatant appropriation of Mr. Allen’s intellectual property.” A representative for Skyhorse did not say whether or not they planned to pursue legal action on the matter. Read the full statement below.
The first episode of Allen v. Farrow uses without permission more than three minutes of Skyhorse’s audio edition of Woody Allen’s autobiography, Apropos of Nothing. It is our understanding that the remaining episodes make similar unauthorized use of the audiobook. This blatant appropriation of Mr. Allen’s intellectual property is unquestionably copyright infringement under existing legal precedent. Viewers of the series should...
