Woody Allen penned a
New York Times op-ed of his own in response to his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow's open letter accusing him of sexually abusing her at age 7.
The legendary director denied the allegations and suggested that his ex-wife, Mia Farrow, was behind them.
Of course, I did not molest Dylan. I loved her and hope one day she will grasp how she has been cheated out of having a loving father and exploited by a mother more interested in her own festering anger than her daughter's well-being. Being taught to hate your father and made to believe he molested you has already taken a psychological toll on this lovely young woman.
Woody and Mia adopted Dylan, who's now 28, when she was 2. In the letter, the "Blue Jasmine" director even said his estranged daughter is not at fault because he's sure that she genuinely believes she's been abused.
Not that I doubt Dylan hasn't come to believe she’s been molested, but if from the age of 7 a vulnerable child is taught by a strong mother to hate her father because he is a monster who abused her, is it so inconceivable that after many years of this indoctrination the image of me Mia wanted to establish had taken root?
Allen wrote that Mia fabricated the accusation to punish him for his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn, the 19-year-old Farrow adopted with her ex-husband Andre Previn who Allen married in 1997. Investigators cleared Allen of the sexual abuse allegation in 1992 and Mia raised them the following year during their custody battle.
Mia called my sister in a rage and said, "He took my daughter, now I'll take his."
In the concluding sentence, Woody says the article will be his "final word on this entire matter" and no one will be responding further on his behalf.
Dylan, on the other hand, has responded to his piece, which ran online on Friday, with a statement to
The Hollywood Reporter.
Once again, Woody Allen is attacking me and my family in an effort to discredit and silence me - but nothing he says or writes can change the truth. For 20 years, I have never wavered in describing what he did to me. I will carry the memories of surviving these experiences for the rest of my life.

She still looks gorgeous!
Olivia Wilde squeezed in a workout this morning in L.A. and then grabbed a green beverage and food to-go from Whole Foods, and for being pretty far along in her pregnancy, she's still not sporting that big of a baby bump!
The
Tron star and fiance Jason Sudekis are expecting a baby boy in April, so they better enjoy their solo time while they can.
The actress is clearly thinking about the future now that she's preparing to welcome a child into this world, and decided to write an essay in
Glamour titled "What Will They Think of Us in 75 Years?', intended to be a comedic graduation speech for a future generation.
"It was a rough era for the planet too, when humans still used plastic materials (even to eat and drink out of!) and discarded waste into the oceans. In 2014 white women were paid 77 cents and women of color were paid 64 cents for every dollar earned by a white man, even though more women went to college than their male counterparts," reads an except from the piece.
Smart, beautiful, and caring! She's the total package!

Philip Seymour Hoffman's private funeral was held at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan's Upper East Side on Friday, and in addition to the late actor's family, some of biggest names in Hollywood showed up to pay their respects.
Jake Gyllenhaal and his former
Brokeback Mountain co-star Michelle Williams arrived together, and Justin Theroux was photographed at the church, after spending the last few days with Hoffman's family.
A private
wake for Hoffman was held at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel on Thursday, and many of the stars who attended last night's service were present today, including Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix, Meryl Streep, Ethan Hawke, Ellen Burstyn, Spike Lee, Julianne Moore, Louis C.K., Mary-Louise Parker, John Slattery, John C. Reilly, Jerry Stiller, Marisa Tomei, Justin Long, Diane Sawyer and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Hoffman's body was discovered in the bathroom of his West Village apartment on Sunday after an apparent heroin overdose. Authorities reportedly found the 46-year-old actor with a needle in his arm and recovered 65 bags of heroin at the scene, and NYPD have arrested four people suspected of having a connection to the drugs found in Hoffman's apartment.
Hoffman is survived by estranged girlfriend Mimi O'Donnell and the couple's three young children, son Cooper and daughters Tallulah and Willa.

Their little one is on the move!
Alessandra Ambrosio and husband Jamie Mazur ventured out on a morning errand run with their son Noah today, and the 1-year-old got some help from his folks as he toddled into the Brentwood Country Mart. Cute!
Last year, rumors swirled that the Victoria's Secret supermodel and her businessman beau were on the rocks after she was spotted without her ring on, but it looks like all is well for this beautiful family!

Despite the winter weather, Miranda Kerr managed to heat things up when she looked flawless upon entering her hotel in New York City on Thursday. The Australian model is currently in NYC for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and is sure to set the catwalk aflame with her hot bod'.
Miranda took it to the streets with high-waisted black jeans, a black crop top, black ankle boots and a black and white mottled coat. Of course no supermodel's look is complete without an Hermes Kelly bag and matching sunglasses. So chic!
Yesterday, the newly single stunner posted a sexy behind-the-scenes Instagram pic from Fashion Week. Wearing a push-up bra, the 30-year-old posed backstage with a stuffed animal tiger and captioned it, "Grrrr." More like grrrrreat!
The brunette beauty paired the lingerie with a figure-hugging high-waisted black leather skirt.
Miranda has been looking fab ever since her public split with husband Orlando Bloom -- looking good really is the best revenge!

Seeing as there are new rumors that she's broken up with hottie boyfriend Ryan Gosling, this probably didn't help with her crappy week!
On Thursday Eva Mendes was pulled over by a bike cop in Los Angeles for using her phone while driving, and it appears as though she wasn't able to talk her way out of the ticket. California cops have really been cracking down lately, and even if you're at a red light and merely holding your phone, you can still get busted. Sucks to be her!
But back to her love life! According to
In Touch and
Life & Style, Eva and Ryan split over the holidays, but don't go celebrating just yet ... her publicist insists that they're still an item. Eva's rep said shortly after the reports popped up that they were “just another round of rumors."
There have been claims that Eva, who is 39, doesn't want to have kids, and it looks like Ryan, 33, might be interested in settling down at some point. "I'd like to be making babies," he told the
UK Times back in 2011. "But I'm not, so I'm making movies." Clearly he's been thinking about it for a while ... so what's Eva thinking?

Chivalry is not dead!
Bruce Willis helped pregnant wife Emma Heming cross the street on Thursday in Los Angeles -- and we love what a gentleman the action star is. From the silver screen to the streets, Bruce is ever the protector!
The 58-year-old wore a grey jacket and pants -- while the 35-year-old model donned black pants, a striped top and black sweater and kicky red flats.
Willis wed the British beauty in 2009. The couple has a daughter, Mabel Ray, who was born in 2012. The
Sixth Sense actor was previously married to Demi Moore from 1987-2000. The former couple share daughters Rumor, Scout and Tallulah.
Bruce is dad to a whole lotta girls -- we are crossing our fingers that he'll finally get a son this time around!
