People had a lot of good clean fun at this woman's expense yesterday. (See Rossman's timeline for several good examples.)
But who is she? Wikipedia won't say, and there's not enough courage to dive into the pop culture internet to find out.
It's interesting that the web's bookish types haven't gotten around to her yet. It's at least possible that the taste-&-audience matching muscle of social media has reduced the intrusion of the least compelling celebrities into the wider mindspace.
Your grandchildren will wonder why anyone cared about Jennifer Anniston, too.

1993 report from the State of Connecticut and Yale New Haven Hospital concluded that Woody Allen did not molest Dylan Farrow.
I spent like 30 seconds on her twitter feed, and that was my assessment. Famous for being famous.

Interesting piece on how @MrAndyNgo, a gay child of Vietnamese refugees, became skeptical of campus identity politics and its focus on symbolic slights: on a trip to Vietnam (where he'd expected to feel at home) he found much more acute racism & homophobia

Even if it takes twice as long as that.
Biblical mythology is rooted in human mythology. Almost every ancient religion has a flood myth, a virgin birth myth, and an imparting of forbidden knowledge myth (in Christianity, a serpent while in Greek mythology, Prometheus, and in Native American mythology, Raven).
To get worked up about the similarity of such myths is futile. To understand that such myths speak of a universal truth is to begin to understand what religion and religious beliefs have meant to mankind over the centuries.

The idiotically needful public's impulse to identify with some distant stooge in pathetic adoration —the very force by which Donald Trump was elected to the White House— may well propel this loathsome woman to global celebrity.
But the good news is that if it does, Fatbro will probably have her decapitated before springtime's desperate Korean thaw.

My take is: Woody Allen and Mia Farrow are both mentally ill, narcissistic pieces of shit.
Narcissists maybe, but as to mentally ill, none of Woodys kids have killed themselves or died under odd circumstances, there are no examples of him delighting in the misfortune of his exes, or him making similar unsubstantiated claims of against every ex lover who dumped him
"Well you cant prove a negative. So I guess what you mean is they found no physical evidence of rape."
I'm sure you fully support the principle of innocence until proven guilty.
BTW - there ARE ways to prove what appears to be a negative, and you actually know of some of them. These consist of showing an exclusion was in effect.
• Showing that the accused was documented to be traveling at a location other than an alleged attack.
• Showing that a process claimed could not have happened by showing another process that fully involved the venue central to the accusation.
So, sometimes, you not only can't prove the accused was present, you CAN prove she was somewhere else at the time.
While I believe in innocoent until proven guilty in a court of law. Absence of a conviction does not automatically make me want to absolve someone like Woody Allen in the court of public opinion.
Find some pictures of Mia Farrow in the 60’s and 70’s and of Soon Yi Previn in the 80’s and then tell me that Woody Allen has no sexual interest in prepubescent females.
Had a distant cousin like this. Was never actually molested by him but was touched in ways that made me uncomfortable back in the day when small kids sat on family member’s laps. He may never have actually raped any small children but it was clear where his interests lay. I took care never to be alone with him.
He had one short marriage, and yep, the woman looked like she was 14. Just sayin.
