Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn spoke out after the premiere of the HBO documentary series “Allen v. Farrow” about his adoptive daughter’s allegations of molestation.
Dylan Farrow (35), her mother Mia Farrow (76) and her brother Ronan Farrow (33) are taking part in the documentary series, which investigates the allegations that the Oscar winner (85) was brought to for the first time during his divorce of Mia in 1992. Allen denied the allegations for nearly thirty years and Mia at the time refused to file complaints.
Following the premiere episode of the four-part series, Allen and Soon-Yi released a statement to Fox News, further denying the allegations against him and questioning the legitimacy of the HBO project.
“These documentaries had no interest in the truth. Instead, they worked with the Farrows and their collaborators for years to compile an ax with untruths,” the statement read. “Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two months ago and only had a matter of days to respond.” Of course, they refused to do so. ‘
WOODY ALLEN SAY IT BECOMES ‘FASHIONAL’ FOR ACTORS TO JUDGE HIM: ‘LIKE EATING BAD’
The statement goes on to say: “As has been known for decades, these allegations are extremely false. Several agencies investigated it at the time and found that, regardless of what led Dylan Farrow to believe, absolutely no abuse took place. Unfortunately, that is it. “It’s not surprising that the network to air it is HBO, which has a firm production agreement and a business relationship with Ronan Farrow. While this bad hit may get attention, it does not change the facts.”

In the first episode, Dylan does not specifically address the abuse she claims she suffered under her adoptive father during her childhood. However, she does reiterate the demands she made earlier in a 2014 open letter published by the New York Times. According to Yahoo Entertainment, she claims Allen will relentlessly chase her when he was at their apartment and allegedly lure her into inappropriate situations.
“I have memories of climbing into bed with him. He was in his underwear, and I was hanging out in my underwear,” she says. “I remember his breath on me. He will just wrap his body around me intimately. ‘
While she mentioned earlier that Allen allegedly put his thumb in her mouth, she gave further details in ‘Allen v. Farrow. ‘

Mia and Allen started a relationship in 1980 that lasted more than a decade. At the time, she was already the mother of seven children. In the series, Mia explains that Allen did not want to be a part of being a father, this is one of the reasons why they maintained separate residences throughout their relationship. However, she says she approached him about adopting a child, against which he was still reluctant.
“He said if I wanted to do it, it would not destroy the relationship, but that he did not want anything to do with it,” she says in the documentation (via People). ‘I thought’ This is fair ‘. He knew the kind of kids I adopted all come from different countries with different needs. He said: ‘I might be more likely to be inclined if it’s a little blonde girl.’ I thought if he cared, I should try to find such a little girl and maybe he would like her. I finally had a little blonde girl and it was baby Dylan. ‘
