Woody Allen adds another twist to a family drama he’s determined to continue
WOODY ALLEN this week blasted his ex Mia Farrow, hitting back at allegations he abused their daughter Dylan.
The Oscar-winning director devotes much of his new memoir, Apropos of Nothing, to the allegations that have dogged his career.
In the book, he claims he was first warned off dating Farrow by Dory Previn, who said the actress had lured away her husband, composer André Previn. Years later, Allen said, Dory informed him of a song she wrote called “Daddy in the attic” after Farrow accused him of abusing their young daughter Dylan.
He wrote: “She told me Mia would sing it, and she was certain that’s what gave
Mia the idea to locate a fake molestation accusation she would make in the attic.”
Allen then claims Farrow once told him “I have something planned for you,” after she discovered he was sleeping with their adopted daughter Soon-yi Previn.
Dylan, 34, and Mia have maintained the allegations he abused her as a girl are true leading Allen, who has never been charged with a crime, to try and clear his name.
“I never laid a finger on Dylan... It was a total fabrication from start to finish,” he states.
Between Allen and Farrow, no one knows who to believe.
Moses Farrow once claimed it was his mother who was the abuser saying she coached Dylan into making the allegations.
Whatever the truth, both parents are beyond contempt.
It is their children, through no fault of their own, who have been forced to have their shocking upbringings played out in public by a pair of extreme narcissists.
