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

Greatest quote: Dylan has begun to recognize her own power. âI guess Iâm just way more vindictive than anybody gave me credit for,â she says. âAnd I say that because itâs not entirely a bad thing. Vindictive women can get stuff done.â
VERY up my alley: It still baffles her when Allenâs fans come after her on Twitter, saying sheâs lying. âThis is something that Iâm literally telling you happened to me. Who are you to say, âNo, it didnâtâ? I was there, you werenât. Go away.â
Also has some beautiful family pics, this oneâs 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. Sheâs 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 Dylan, her husband (she asked that his name not be published), her four-year-old daughter Evangeline (whose name is already all over Miaâs Instagram), their pug Luna, and their English bulldog Nova stay in one house.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 fianceÌ, 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 Ronanâs relationship:
Dylan didnât tell her mother and Ronan that she was going to write the essay until she already knew she was going to publish it. âI kind of wanted to wait until there were no take-backsies before I really discussed it with them, because I wasnât sure how they were going to react,â she says. It was the first time sheâd told Ronan what had happened in detail. âAnd he started crying, which I didnât really expect,â she says. âHeâs not super sentimental.â 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 sisterâs need to expose her wounds in order to heal them. They talked often and at length, and in 2016, when Allenâs film CafeÌ Society was opening the Cannes Film Festival, Ronan wrote his own essay supporting his sisterâs claims for The Hollywood Reporter. It was loud and splashy, and dominated all the press for Allenâs film. And in its own way, it led to Ronan chasing down the stories of Harvey Weinsteinâs sexual assaults. âDylan was absolutely a voice of conscience on this issue,â Ronan said by email. âI learned a lot, watching her come forward with her story, and maintain it consistently, year after yearâeven when I and others around her werenât sure it was worth the blowback.â
âWithout Ronanâs support, I probably wouldâve felt completely adrift,â Dylan says. âHeâs one of the most important people in my life.â What she didnât realize was just how important those conversations would be to her brother and others, through his work.
âI thought he was just, like, calling me. It wasnât until I read his book that I realized I was actually having this huge impact on him.â It bothered her, though, that her essay from 2014 âwas kind of brushed off and ignored or sidelined or outright stomped into the dust,â but when her brother said the exact same thing two years later, suddenly peopleâs ears perked up. âI got salty at Ronan, because I was like, âDo people really need a white man to say the exact same thing to get people to listen?â â â> GOOD question, havenât we all been asking ourselves that? (no shade to Ronan, just stating the truth)
