Beautiful new article out on Dylan! Highly recommend it, sheās fascinating, just like the rest of her family :)

Greatest quote: Dylan has begun to recognize her own power. āI guess Iām just way more vindictive than anybody gave me credit for,ā she says. āAnd I say that because itās not entirely a bad thing. Vindictive women can get stuff done.ā
VERY up my alley: It still baffles her when Allenās fans come after her on Twitter, saying sheās lying. āThis is something that Iām literally telling you happened to me. Who are you to say, āNo, it didnātā? I was there, you werenāt. Go away.ā
Also has some beautiful family pics, this oneās my favourite:
Dylan now maintains a happy pandemic pod with her own family on that same farm, 88 acres with hiking and horse trails and a lake. Sheās calling via Zoom from a home office with nothing but greenery and sunlight outside her window. Dylan, her husband (she asked that his name not be published), her four-year-old daughter Evangeline (whose name is already all over Miaās Instagram), their pug Luna, and their English bulldog Nova stay in one house. Her brother Fletcher, who works in tech, and his wife and two daughters live in another. Their mother has a third. When we talked, Ronan and his fianceĢ, Jon Lovett of Pod Save America, had recently joined them from the West Coast and were staying with Mia.
And she also talks about her and Ronanās relationship:
Dylan didnāt tell her mother and Ronan that she was going to write the essay until she already knew she was going to publish it. āI kind of wanted to wait until there were no take-backsies before I really discussed it with them, because I wasnāt sure how they were going to react,ā she says. It was the first time sheād told Ronan what had happened in detail. āAnd he started crying, which I didnāt really expect,ā she says. āHeās not super sentimental.ā Even for Ronan, #MeToo warrior that he is now, there was a period of adjustment, of separating the family desire to put the past behind them with his sisterās need to expose her wounds in order to heal them. They talked often and at length, and in 2016, when Allenās film CafeĢ Society was opening the Cannes Film Festival, Ronan wrote his own essay supporting his sisterās claims for The Hollywood Reporter. It was loud and splashy, and dominated all the press for Allenās film. And in its own way, it led to Ronan chasing down the stories of Harvey Weinsteinās sexual assaults. āDylan was absolutely a voice of conscience on this issue,ā Ronan said by email. āI learned a lot, watching her come forward with her story, and maintain it consistently, year after yearāeven when I and others around her werenāt sure it was worth the blowback.ā
āWithout Ronanās support, I probably wouldāve felt completely adrift,ā Dylan says. āHeās one of the most important people in my life.ā What she didnāt realize was just how important those conversations would be to her brother and others, through his work.
āI thought he was just, like, calling me. It wasnāt until I read his book that I realized I was actually having this huge impact on him.ā It bothered her, though, that her essay from 2014 āwas kind of brushed off and ignored or sidelined or outright stomped into the dust,ā but when her brother said the exact same thing two years later, suddenly peopleās ears perked up. āI got salty at Ronan, because I was like, āDo people really need a white man to say the exact same thing to get people to listen?ā ā ā> GOOD question, havenāt we all been asking ourselves that? (no shade to Ronan, just stating the truth)
