'Allen v Farrow': 6 Shocking Revelations From HBO's New Documentary About Woody Allen & Mia Farrow

Woody’s Hold Over Mia

According to her close friend Carly Simon, Mia‘s self-esteem was allegedly knocked down by Woody.

“I saw him little by little eroding her self-esteem, eroding her sense of self,” Carly said. “He didn’t like Mia to see her friends. He just wanted to isolate her. I don’t know what was behind him saying cruel things to her, whether or not he believed it or whether it was just a tactic to kick her down so that she’s be more under his rule, but she made up reasons for his behavior.”
