He's one of my faves but this is just wrong.

He didn't call her that verbatim.

Not 'palpable bitchery'

He didn't exactly call her a bitch.

Can he not. He's a great writer but I will not support someone who calls an abuse victim a bitch (presumably just because she's a woman)

Well this is unsettling

Staaaahp Stephen!

I don't know what the original question was, but it sounds like he was referring more to the possibility that there was a motive for Mia Farrow to orchestrate the story.

This is horrible. I've made my opinion on this whole situation clear, it's genuinely horrifying that some people are treating Dylan like this whether there is clear evidence or not.

That's what I thought too. I don't think he's calling Dylan a "bitch."

That's doesn't make it much better. Woody already ran off with one of their children and married her, it's not too far off that he went after another one of their children as well. How is Mia a bitch in any way because of the way she's acting? Stephen needs to sit with his misogyny and victim blaming.

Seriously.

I'm aware the industry is filled with abusers, pedophiles & sociopathic men in power who bail each other out - But this victim shaming & doubting, whether Dylan is being truthful or not - Is incredibly harmful. What message is this sending to young people who have been victims of abuse? It's already so tough to come forward about these experiences, let alone with the fear that no one will believe you & you will be labelled a "bitch", "attention seeker", or "liar".

Disgusting.

Stephen King is a nut anyway

I could not have put that better myself, thanks for restoring some of my faith in ATRL members.

what did she do to deserve being called a bitch? What in the world??

It's scary to see how the entertainment industry circles the wagon.

Just leaving this here

I do believe Dylan's case (due to his relationship with Soon-Yi) but I cannot trust Mia Farrow at all. ESPECIALLY since she signed the petition to remove the charges against Roman Polanski - a known pedophile who raped a thirteen year old girl and escaped prison by fleeing the country.
