Woody Allen, Mia Farrow in Leningrad with Satchel (now Ronan), Lark, Dylan (now Malone), Fletcher, Daisy and Soon Yi, Moses

Following Dylan Farrow’s harrowing letter describing sexual molestation she says she suffered from father Woody Allen – her brother Moses is speaking out to defend Allen, accusing their mother Mia of poisoning them against their father.
Responding to accusation first made 20 years ago that has bitterly divided the family, Moses accused Mia Farrow of turning him and Dylan against Allen as revenge for his affair with Soon-Yi.
“Of course Woody did not molest my sister,” says Moses, who is estranged from Mia Farrow and remains close to Allen and Soon-Yi.
“My mother drummed it into me to hate my father for tearing apart the family and sexually molesting my sister,” Moses, 36, tells People Magazine’s new issue. “And I hated him for her for years. I see now that this was a vengeful way to pay him back for falling in love with Soon-Yi.”
Allen, 78, has denied abusing Dylan, arguing that Farrow, 69, coached Dylan, an accusation that Farrow refutes. Allen was investigated when the allegation was first made but not charged with molestation.
Speaking of Dylan’s childhood relationship with the Hollywood director, Moses continued, “She loved him and looked forward to seeing him when he would visit. She never hid from him until our mother succeeded in creating the atmosphere of fear and hate towards him.
“The day in question, there were six or seven of us in the house. We were all in public rooms and no one, not my father or sister, was off in any private spaces. My mother was conveniently out shopping.
“I don’t know if my sister really believes she was molested or is trying to please her mother. Pleasing my mother was very powerful motivation because to be on her wrong side was horrible.”

Seeking the $$$ of the father
I don’t think a sibling could accurately state whether molestation occurred.
#1: Soon-Yi was Woody’s daughter. False.
#2: Soon-Yi was Woody’s step-daughter. False.
#3: Soon-Yi was Woody and Mia’s adopted daughter. False. Soon-Yi was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and André Previn. Her full name was Soon-Yi Farrow Previn.
#4: Woody and Mia were married. False.
#5: Woody and Mia lived together. False. Woody lived in his apartment on Fifth Ave. Mia and her kids lived on Central Park West. In fact, Woody never once stayed over night at Mia’s apartment in 12 years.
#6: Woody and Mia had a common-law marriage. False. New York State does not recognize common law marriage. Even in states that do, a couple has to cohabitate for a certain number of years.
#7: Soon-Yi viewed Woody as a father figure. False. Soon-Yi saw Woody as her mother’s boyfriend. Her father figure was her adoptive father, André Previn.
#8: Soon-Yi was underage when she and Woody started having relations. False. She was either 19 or 21. (Her year of birth in Korea was undocumented, but believed to be either 1970 or ’72.)
#9: Soon-Yi was borderline retarded. Ha! She’s smart as a whip, has a degree from Columbia University and speaks more languages than you.
#10: Woody was grooming Soon-Yi from an early age to be his child bride. Oh, come on! According to court documents and Mia’s own memoir, until 1990 (when Soon-Yi was 18 or 20), Woody “had little to do with any of the Previn children, (but) had the least to do with Soon-Yi” so Mia encouraged him to spend more time with her. Woody started taking her to basketball games, and the rest is tabloid history. So he hardly “had his eye on her” from the time she was a child.

Woody married his adopted daughter.
I’ve made my decision.
Look at who Woody married. I believe the daughter.
Soon-Yi was Woody and Mia’s adopted daughter. False. Soon-Yi was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and André Previn. Her full name was Soon-Yi Farrow Previn.
Press releases a twenty paces... the modern ‘duel’.
Oh that’s better he married his ex wife’s adopted daughter.
He’s a scumbag child molester.
Well, I see you made up your mind.
A minute ago you thought he married his adopted daughter but were wrong about that.
Now your opinion still has no facts behind it, but hey, who needs facts.
The fact that he had sex with his adopted daughter is proof enough...

Woody had nothing to do with the adoption of Soon-Yi.
Farrow adopted Soon-Yi at age 8 with then husband Andre Previn in 1978. The couple divorced in 1979 and Farrow began dating Allen in 1980.
...Did Soon-Yi start “dating” Woody in 1979 too??
Where do you stand on retarded? Formally or informally?
Semi-informally.
Where do you stand on the genius of Woody Allen?
No, he married the adopted daughter of his paramour, Ms. Farrow. Had he adopted her, or been married to her adoptive mother, I suspect even in New York incest laws would have prevented the marriage.
A bit creepy, yes, especially with the age difference well outside the “half plus seven years” rule of thumb for non-creepiness, when they became involved, but they were both adults when the relationship began, and for crying out loud, he married her and they’re still married lo these 17 years later. These days that’s saying something that actually supports the assessment of him as a “stand up guy”, particularly for someone in the arts or entertainment.
“Woody had nothing to do with the adoption of Soon-Yi.”
I know that. If you read it closely, my post doesn’t contradict yours.
Tell me that you hate Woody Allen movies, and still think he’s totally innocent of the charges...
I hear crickets.
