Um, if you thought a kid was yours but had reason to believe he might not be, wouldn't you have a DNA test?! Not if you're Woody Allen!
The famous director told
New York magazine in an explosive profile of his wife Soon-Yi Previn that Ronan Farrow, long speculated to be the son of Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra, might not be his biological son! Allen said,
"In my opinion, he's my child ... but I wouldn't bet my life on it. I paid child support for him for his whole childhood, and I don’t think that’s very fair if he’s not mine."
Um, dumbass, there's a thing called genetic testing -- it's not that difficult to figure out! Mia Farrow's a bit strange too -- in a 2013 article in
Vanity Fair the
Rosemary's Baby actress responded, when asked if Sinatra was Ronan's dad: "Possibly." She even joked on Twitter, "Listen, we're all *possibly* Frank Sinatra's son."
The
New York magazine article profiles Allen's wife in which she defends her husband against decades-long allegations he molested his adopted daughter Dylan. Dylan alleges the sexual relationship with her adopted father ended when she realized he was also in a romantic relationship with Soon-Yi, whom Farrow and ex-husband Andre Previn adopted in 1978.
Supposedly, Previn's relationship with Allen began in 1991, when Previn was 21 years old. Both claimed Allen had never been a father figure to Previn and therefore the romantic relationship between the two wasn't weird (okaaaay). Now, after being silent on the subject for many years, Soon-Yi has decided to speak out and follow her husband's line that he never abused Farrow's adopted daughter Dylan and that Farrow is using the charges as a way to get back at Allen for the family breaking apart:
"[Farrow has] paraded Dylan as a victim. And a whole new generation is hearing about [the allegations of abuse] when they shouldn’t."
Meanwhile, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow has been the leader in reporting news related to the #MeToo movement, penning the
New Yorker article that exposed Harvey Weinstein and he's slamming
NY mag for publishing this one-sided and irresponsible, tainted report:
"As a brother and a son, I’m angry that New York Magazine would participate in this kind of a hit job, written by a longtime admirer and friend of Woody Allen’s."
And Dylan Farrow has also released a statement, saying "Shame on New York Magazine" ...
To back up a bit, Previn and Allen became romantically involved in 1991 when Soon-Yi was 21 -- and Previn claims that in 1992 when her adoptive mom Mia Farrow found NUDE PHOTOS of her daughter on Allen's mantel, she freaked out and kicked her daughter out of the house. Lest we forget ... Previn was TWENTY-TWO years old and sleeping with her mom's ex-boyfriend and supposed father of her mom's biological son!!! WTF?!
Hospital investigators investigated, then New York State child welfare investigators investigated and both found Allen innocent of the molestation charges involving Farrow's adopted daughter Dylan. BUT a judge denied Allen custody, citing Farrow's testimony that the famous director had been "aggressively affectionate" with their daughter.
Meanwhile, Soon-Yi says Farrow was the psycho parent -- throwing a porcelain rabbit at her when she was a child and calling her "stupid" and "moronic." Mia Farrow has denied the claims through a family spokesperson.
So as Soon-Yi, who is now married to her surrogate father, claims she "can't come up with a pleasant memory" about her childhood with Farrow, Ronan, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who helped launch the revived women's movement and is doing the most important work toward giving mistreated and abused women a voice, calls his mother "a devoted mom who went through hell for her family" and says he owes "everything I am to Mia Farrow."
