Some people are VERY good at hiding their dark sides.
When you find out, often people won't believe you because they've been charmed by the psychopath, too.
Happened to me.
Not the same type of situation, but domestic violence.
You have to understand, people that sick have had to hide their illness for years.
They excel at putting forth a "mask of sanity," as Cleckley called it.
Here's a quote from Wikipedia (sorry, too lazy to look for more):
The Mask of Sanity is distinguished by its central thesis, that the psychopath exhibits normal function according to standard psychiatric criteria, yet privately engages in destructive behavior. The book was intended to assist with detection and diagnosis of the elusive psychopath for purposes of palliation and offered no cure for the condition itself. The idea of a master deceiver secretly possessed of no moral or ethical restraints, yet behaving in public with excellent function, electrified American society and led to heightened interest in both psychological introspection and the detection of hidden psychopaths in society at large, leading to a refinement of the word itself into what was perceived to be a less stigmatizing term, "sociopath".
I thought too that it sounds very much like she's acting. Sounded very fake dramatic, rather than truly emotional. Do I think he's a disgusting pedophile? Absolutely 100%. But that recording sounded completely rehearsed, & not at all genuine to me. Then she says about not knowing the doctor would report it. Why tf would you NOT want it reported? I think this was a rehearsed & recorded call to cover her own ass.
I think- but I’m not sure - that it was a response to his accusing her of seeking revenge for leaving her. So she’s saying “I took her to the doctor to make sure she’s okay, not because I was trying to get revenge.”
He has always said the abuse never happened, that she made it up and coached Dylan to say those those things.
yeah the Hollywood drama music in the bg doesn't help. We're never going to get to the bottom of what is real or not with these sorts of 'leaked' clips imho
I understand that. but why is Mia Farrow so "surprised" by his behavior? the audio sounds like more acting from actors.
I guess the majority of women marry men they love and trust. They can’t even get their head around the fact he would molest children.
I'd guess there are many men and women who are marrying some part of what they see in a person and blocking out the rest. It can't end well.
