Breaking a long silence, Soon-Yi Previn defended husband Woody Allen and blasted her adoptive mother, Mia Farrow, in a new interview. In a New York magazine article penned by a closed friend of the filmmaker, Previn said it’s “unjust” that Farrow and some of her children continue to allege that Allen molested his daughter Dylan Farrow when she was 7 years old. “[Mia] has taken advantage of the #MeToo movement and paraded Dylan as a victim. And a whole new generation is hearing about it when they shouldn’t,” she told New York. Previn, 47, accused Farrow of being an abusive parent and said there was nothing incestuous about her affair with Allen, who was Farrow’s boyfriend at the time. She did, however, say she regrets that her mother found nude photos of her at Allen’s house 26 years ago. “I think it would have been horrible for her,” she conceded. Both Dylan Farrow and her brother, journalist Ronan Farrow, issued statements of support for their mother in response to the article. “Shame on New York Magazine,” Dylan wrote.
