Resurfaced recording shows Mia Farrow accuse Woody Allen of sexually abusing their adopted daughter
Warning: This article contains discussion of child abuse which some readers may find distressing.
Woody Allen’s previous allegations of child sexual abuse have come back to the fore after his numerous email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein have come to light.
Allen’s wife Soon-Yi Previn has also come under fire after it was revealed she emailed Epstein criticising a 15-year-old victim of Anthony Weiner after the politician was caught sexting her. Allen, meanwhile, was mentioned or involved in an email exchange with Epstein 3,770 times, pointing to a far closer relationship than he had previously disclosed.
One email even saw an anonymous person being contacted by Epstein to invite them to ‘Paris with Woody’, with the redacted account replying: “For les pedophile convention?”

The film director has faced sexual abuse allegations in the past from his own adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, whom he adopted after dating Mia Farrow.
Soon-Yi was also another of Mia’s adopted children. Allen met her for the first time when she was just ten.
Mia first accused him of molesting Dylan when her daughter was just seven years old, but the filmmaker has regularly and vociferously denied this. The allegations were dismissed as part of the custody case, and Connecticut prosecutors chose not to pursue charges against Allen.
Dylan and Mia, however, have maintained their claims over the years that Allen raped Dylan.
Footage of Mia accusing Allen on the phone has now resurfaced on social media, featuring him talking about how he wants to remain friends.
She says: “It’s way beyond that now. What you’ve done to Soon-Yi, what you’ve done to Dylan.
“Dylan’s a baby, how could you do that to her? I don’t know anything of that kind, I know what Dylan tells me, you’ve told me nothing but lies. Dylan tells the truth and consistently.”
While Allen can be heard insisting she knows he didn’t do it, Mia responds saying: “I don’t know that Woody… I’ve always worried about you and Dylan.
“She walks around holding her vagina, she sleeps with me, she’s scared of you... I don’t know how you can live with what you did.”
The resurfaced footage came from the HBO documentary Allen v Farrow, which also included a video of Dylan at seven years old describing how Allen allegedly said ‘Do not move, I have to do this’, before proceeding to molest her.
Allen has long claimed that Mia’s allegations against him were retaliation after he began a sexual relationship with her daughter Soon-Yi, with the actress finding naked pictures of her daughter at Allen’s apartment.
Soon-Yi and Dylan’s brother Moses Farrow have both spoken in support of Allen and even accused Mia of abusing them.
In a 2018 TV interview, Dylan expressed her ‘outrage’ after ‘years of being ignored, disbelieved and tossed aside'.
