Soon-Yi Previn previously defended starting a relationship with her adopted mum's husband, Woody Allen.
The pair became romantically involved when the filmmaker, then 56, started an affair with his wife's adopted daughter, Soon-Yi, then 21, in 1991.
His long-time partner Mia Farrow adopted Soon-Yi with her then-husband André Previn in 1978, and started dating Allen in 1980.
In 1992, the Korean-born adopted daughter addressed critics with a statement, asking them not to 'dramatise my relationship with Woody Allen'.

She told Newsweek: "He was never any kind of father figure to me. I never had any dealings with him.
"He rarely came to our apartment before his own children were born.
"Even then, he never spoke, and the truth is I never cared that much for him.
"He was always preoccupied with work and never talked to me. Not really to any of us."
She claimed that 'when I first got friendly with Woody, he and Mia were finished with their romance and were just friends'.
Soon-Yi then gave her view on the sexual abuse allegation from Allen's adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, then seven, who claimed he molested her.
Allen has always denied this, and no criminal charges were filed after investigations concluded the evidence was inconclusive.
"The business of him molesting Dylan is so ridiculous that I won't dignify it with a comment," she said.
It comes after Allen and his wife of 29 years were featured in the Epstein files numerous times. Being mentioned in the files doesn't indicate any wrongdoing or knowledge of his crimes.
The files show Soon-Yi emailing Epstein about Anthony Weiner, who was sentenced to 21 months in jail for sexting a 15-year-old girl.
"Most importantly I feel sorry for his wife. I also thought it was disgusting what the 15-year-old did to him," she wrote.
"I hate women who take advantage of guys and she is definitely one of them.
"She knew exactly what she was doing and how vulnerable Wiener [sic] was and she reeled him in like fish to bait."
"We know he’s sick but she’s also sick to have done this to him.
"So manipulative on her part. She should be ashamed of herself."
In emails in 2016, Epstein and Allen compared their own scandals to those of Bill Cosby, who denied allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted numerous women.
“The crowd needs a witch to burn, and there are not many left,” Epstein wrote.
Allen said that his own situation is 'radically different' from Cosby's.
“I do expect (and get) many ugly unfair accusations, (but) he has to battle 50 women and criminal charges,” he said.
“I have one irate mother whose case was investigated and discredited."
