Moses Farrow backs Woody

ONE of Mia Farrow’s sons has given an emotional show of support for her embattled ex Woody Allen.

Farrow’s daughter Dylan has claimed that the director sexually abused her in 1992 when she was 7 years old, and one of her brothers, Ronan, has forcefully and publicly backed her.

But their brother Moses has come out in support of Allen in a new interview, and alleges that Mia was “abusive.”

“I had a disability and emotional sensitivities, and that lent itself to being a target,” Moses told the Guardian. Mia adopted him, her seventh child, as a 2-year-old from South Korea suffering from cerebral palsy. He said he continues to suffer from the alleged abuse: “I’ve experienced suicidal thoughts, I’ve been in therapy for depression, I’ve certainly struggled with relationships and poor self-esteem.”

He added: “The trauma in adoption comes from feeling like there’s something wrong with us because we were rejected [by our birth parents]. I felt inherently like I was a bad kid. And then the abuse at home reinforced that.”

Once a fierce defender of Mia, Moses, 42, revealed that they’re now estranged, saying, “It’s important to provide yourself with a sense of safety, and sometimes that means maintaining distance.” He is close to Allen, and although he kept Farrow’s last name, he told the paper, “I’d be very happy to take my father’s surname.”

Allen has strongly denied he sexually assaulted Dylan. In 2018, Moses published a blog arguing for his father’s innocence. Dylan replied to Moses’ blog, “My brother is a troubled person,” and Ronan dismissed it as part of the “repeated campaign to discredit my sister, often by attacking our mother.”

Asked about Dylan and Ronan, Moses added, “We grew up together. I am their older brother. We all shared the same mother. Even if you’re not receiving that abuse directly, if you bear witness to it, it still impacts you in a deep way.”

Mia and Ronan Farrow declined to comment.
