Dear Mia Farrow,
It’s time to get over it. What Woody Allen did was d-bag at the highest degree. However, he wasn’t Roman Polanski. He dated a woman over 18, they seem to have fallen in love and they seem to be happy at this time. You coached his daughter to claim he sexually abused her when he hadn’t. The judge told the world that you coached her into perjury and still Kept WA from visitation. You were both fairly sleezy in the end. (I happen to think false sex abuse charges are really, really bad and sleeping with your step daughter is also quite sleazy). In any case, it is over. It is psychologically better for YOU if you just let it go.
@Mnemosyne: Yes. Mia Farrow added the “Boom” remark, but the rest is from Ronan.

@Mnemosyne: @Mnemosyne:
It’s from his twitter feed. He is Woody Allen’s and Mia Farrow’s only biological son. So his father is his brother-in-law. From Wikipedia, he is also apparently a genius.
That’s what I thought. So my point would be that I’m not entirely comfortable telling someone he has to get over his father being an asshole because his dad moved on and started a family with someone else.
You can tell an ex-spouse to move on and not be so bitter because that relationship (usually) requires consenting adults, but it’s kind of a dick move to tell someone he shouldn’t still be kinda pissed off that his father married his (adoptive) sister and dragged everyone through the mud.
@dc: Interesting, he currently works for the State Department.

Wow, people are still spreading the lie that Woody Allen was Soon-Yi Previn’s stepfather???
Allen never married Farrow, never lived with her, and never adopted Soon-Yi Previn. Allen was never Previn’s stepfather, and anyone who says he was is a liar.
You can call it creepy, that’s a judgement call; but why do you feel the need to lie about a fact?
She had an even better exchange some time back with Sarah Silverman, but for the life of me I can’t find it.
I saw the name ‘Sarah Silverman’, and had to check this out. Maybe this is what you’re remembering? It doesn’t look like the response there is from Farrow’s real Twitter account* – at least not her current one – but it’s still funny. And (fake?) Farrow delivers the punchline.
*Twitter account mia_farrow doesn’t belong to the real actor (at least not anymore), while miafarrow apparently is the real deal – the latter has that white-checkmark-in-blue-circle thingy that proves… something, as I recall.

I know it’s fun to just make up all sorts of lies about Woody Allen, but this is America at its most immature.
No, I’m not excusing incest, pedophilia, statutory rape, or any of the other garbage that people enjoy attaching to this story. But all of that stuff is just made up so that everyone can get their jollies feeling pious and self righteous. Grow up.
Ms. Farrow is entitled to feel betrayed over what happened, although it’s probably time to move along. But, what’s your excuse?
It would seem that she’s not. Or perhaps she just sees the (dark) humor in their son’s tweet.
Whatever her views are (and I don’t much care), it’s more than understandable how Mia and Woody’s son would feel it peculiar that Woody married his sister, with whom he lived as a sister. Regardless of whether his parents ever married, his sister is married to his father. So it’s actually quite the witty tweet – on Ronan’s part. That his mother felt the need to retweet with comment, oh well.
38.
RP
@a hip hop artist from Idaho (fka Bella Q): I agree 100%. Coming from Ronan, it’s pretty funny take on his somewhat messed up family (like father, like son…). The fact that Mia felt the need to retweet it and add a “boom” is a little depressing.
ronan tweeted it. allen is ronan’s father. soon-yi is both ronan’s half sister and step mother. the former means that, in effect, allen is his father and also his brother-in-law. so yeah, ronan is right in this one.
More reading comprehension fail; Allen is Ronan’s father. Allen is Ronan’s brother-in-law. No one is disputing those relationships. But Allen is not, and never has been, Soon-Yi’s stepfather, and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar. He never married or lived with Mia Farrow. He never adopted Soon-Yi. He was never her stepfather. Period.

@Pay Attention: Dude. Congrats on missing the point. Farrow and Allen were partners and lived together for years. He helped raise his later-to-be-wife. It’s a distinction without a difference.
Can you not read or comprehend the English language?
Allen and Farrow NEVER LIVED TOGETHER.
Allen and Farrow NEVER MARRIED.
You can make a case that Allen’s a creep; you can make a case that the whole family is damaged. You CANNOT make a case that Allen was ever Previn’s stepfather; that word has a very specific meaning, that in no way applies in this instance. You don’t get to misappropriate a word or change its meaning just to make your point. Referring to Allen as Previn’s stepfather is simply lying.
It’s really very easy to make the case that Allen is a creepy guy without having to resort to lying.

OK, Pay Attention–let’s see if you can live up to your moniker.
Ronan Allen is Woody Allen and Mia Farrow’s son. Mia Farrow adopted Soon-Yi Previn, thus making Soon-Yi Ronan’s sister via his mother. Ronan’s father, Woody Allen, then married Soon-Yi Previn, Ronan’s sister. So, his father married his sister. Hence, the joke tweet by Ronan Allen.
Got it?

Uh, right. Pay Attention is still responding to Valdivia and Percysowner, who are the only person who mistakenly Soon-Yi Allen’s stepdaughter, and taylormattd who wrongly says that Allen and Farrow lived together. Of course, for Ronan (né Satchel), his dad is indeed his brother-in-law, but it’s a weird enough family tree without throwing in additional weirdness.
Still more reading comprehension fail. When did I ever dispute that Ronan’s tweet was correct? My only contention has been that those who insist upon referring to Allen as Previn’s stepfather are lying.
then who fucking cares? what are you, the terminology police? you’re really so deep in woody allen’s asshole that you’re this fucking sensitive about it?
Of course, you can’t point to a single instance where I’ve defended Allen’s conduct; no such example exists. And while someone does, indeed, seem to be overly-sensitive about this conversation, you would be utterly shocked if you could comprehend who that someone is.
Just as the president is not a communist just because idiots misuse that word, so Allen is not a stepfather just because idiots misuse THAT word. Words have meanings, and those meanings matter. I encourage you to let the truth be your first duty.
And I forgive you for your intemperate language; as an adult, I will refrain from responding in kind.
i didn’t say you defended allen’s conduct, moron. i’m saying you’re quibbling over something stupid. wow, two people on the internet didn’t use the right term to describe a scumbag’s relationship with someone! thanks to the terminology police, the real issue in the thread can be discussed!
When you said “you’re really so deep in woody Allen’s asshole” you were suggesting I was defending him, and I did no such thing.
Good luck with your reading comprehension. And logic. And anger issues. I hope you don’t take out your frustration and feelings of inadequacy on those around you.
