Proud to announce that our founder and CEO Lauren Book is now a regular The Huffington Post contributor! Click below to read her thoughts on the Dylan Farrow / Woody Allen controversy...and the media firestorm that has ensued. Was she abused? Is she lying? Did he do it? Is he innocent? ... It does not matter what I think. It does not matter what you think. And it certainly does not matter what Barbara Walters thinks. The fact of the matter is: in our society, survivors do not feel safe disclosing abuse. So many people want to keep this dark issue hidden in the shadows and refuse to entertain the idea that someone they know, someone they trust, or even someone whose films they enjoy, could be capable of such horrific acts. And so we, as a society, live in denial. And survivors live in shame. And fear. Fear that the words their abusers so often told them -- This is our little secret. No one will believe you. They will think you are lying -- will prove true.
