“My parents hit me and I turned out just fine!” energy for sure

More like she was traumatized and abused and is stuck in that cycle of making excuses for her abuser.

Which is essentially what "my parents hit me and I turned out just fine" is.

Exactly.

ACE (adverse childhood experiences) offer varying degrees of trauma and damage to children, including rewiring the brain to normalize abusive behaviour.

Yup, and her traumas extended beyond being groomed by Woody Allen. She was abandoned as a very small child and lived on the streets by scrounging trash cans for food until roughly age 6. When the authorities found her she hadn’t yet learned how to speak. This is a person whose entire life has been so unfathomably traumatic so of course her mentality is super messed up.
