Soon-Yi Previn has spoken out in a bombshell interview, accusing her adoptive mother Mia Farrow of being cruel and heartless toward her as a child as she defends her husband Woody Allen against Farrow's longstanding claims that he abused their adopted daughter Dylan when she was seven.
The 47-year-old Previn, whose controversial relationship with Allen began when she was 21 and he was dating Farrow, gave her first-ever lengthy interview for a piece in New York Magazine published on Monday.
The article, which is sympathetic toward Previn and Allen, was written by the famed director's longtime friend, Daphne Merkin. She discloses in the article that Allen has been her friend 'for over four decades'.
Dylan Farrow has blasted the connection, dismissing the article as full of 'multiple obvious falsehoods' and reiterating her allegation that Allen molested her as a child.

Previn, going into great detail about her childhood, paints a picture of Farrow as a neglectful mother who was furious over her affair with Allen and possibly sought revenge.
When Farrow discovered the affair in January 1992 by finding naked Polaroids of Previn in Allen's home, she declared 'He took my daughter, I'm going to take his,' according to Allen's sister Letty Aronson.
The enraged actress even sent Allen a disturbing collage that Valentine's Day, with a family photo on a flower-encrusted, gilded heart and skewers stuck through the hearts of the images of the children and a real knife through her own heart, Merkin claims.
Allen and Farrow shared custody of three children at the time: Dylan; Ronan, who has gone on to fame as a journalist; and Moses. Farrow also at the time had three biological children from her prior marriage, and two adopted children from the marriage, including Soon-Yi.
The alleged molestation of Dylan took place on August 4 of 1992, as the revelation of Previn and Allen's relationship continued to rock the family.
'Mia was so volatile. I understand she would be angry — don't get me wrong, she had every right to be. But she was like a sinkhole taking everything down with her,' Previn said in the new interview.

Previn described a difficult childhood with Farrow, who adopted her in 1978 from South Korea, where she was found wandering the streets aged about five.
Previn claims that Farrow asked her to make a tape about her origins, detailing how she'd been the daughter of a prostitute who beat her - but Previn had no memory of such a past, and refused.
She also describes Farrow's borderline abuse as she tried to adapt to life in a new country with an unfamiliar language.
'She tried to teach me the alphabet with those wooden blocks. If I didn't get them right, sometimes she'd throw them at me or down on the floor. Who can learn under that pressure?'
Previn claims that Farrow would hold her upside down 'to get the blood to drain to my head. Because she thought — or she read it, God knows where she came up with the notion — that blood going to my head would make me smarter or something.'
She also describes being slapped across the face and spanked her with a hairbrush by Farrow, who she says called her 'stupid' and 'moronic.'
In statements, Dylan Farrow and Ronan Farrow blasted the article as inaccurate and biased.
'The idea of letting a friend of an alleged predator write a one-sided piece attacking the credibility of his victim is disgusting,' said Dylan Farrow. 'Woody Allen molested me when I was seven years old.'
'As a brother and son, I'm angry that New York Magazine would participate in this kind of a hit job, written by a longtime admirer and friend of Woody Allen's,' wrote Ronan Farrow, Allen's purported biological son.
'As a journalist, I'm shocked by the lack of care for the facts, the refusal to include eyewitness testimony that would contradict falsehoods in this piece, and the failure to print my sister's responses,' the Pulitzer-winner Ronan Farrow continued.

Dylan's allegations against Allen, which first came to light in 1992, have resurfaced in the #MeToo era.
Farrow's accusations made headlines again when she called out actresses who showed public support for the Time's Up initiative but still worked with Allen.
Sources told Page Six that Dylan was angered when she found out the piece was written by Daphne Merkin (pictured) who personally knows Allen
'I fully support women taking a stand, linking arms with other women (and men), advocating on behalf of one another to effect change not only in the entertainment industry but in the world at large,' Farrow said in a statement.
'That is an admirable and worthwhile objective, I hope these women change the world.
'That said, the people who join this movement without taking any kind of personal accountability for the ways in which their own words and decisions have helped to perpetuate the culture they are fighting against, that's hard for me to reconcile.'
Celebrities including Colin Firth, Mira Sorvino, Timothée Chalamet, and Michael Caine have since said they regretted working with Allen in the past.
Allen later claimed he was the 'poster boy' for the movement, portraying himself as a victim and saying it was unfair he was linked with Harvey Weinstein.
'What bothers me is that I get linked in with them,' he said. 'People who have been accused by 20 women, 50 women, 100 women of abuse and abuse and abuse.'
'And I, who was only accused by one woman in a child custody case which was looked at and proven to be untrue, I get lumped in with these people.'
Representatives for Dylan said she was not interviewed for Soon-Yi's story and that the magazine only reached out to her for fact checking after it was already written
Allen said he was 'distressed' that Dylan's accusations were damaging his career amid the #MeToo movement.
'I think in any situation where anyone is accused of something unjustly, this is a sad thing,' he said.
'This is something that has been thoroughly looked at 25 years ago by all the authorities and everybody came to the conclusion that it was untrue.
'And that was the end and I've gone on with my life. For it to come back now, it's a terrible thing to accuse a person of.
'I'm a man with a family and my own children. So of course it's upsetting.'
Dylan's allegations first came to light during a bitter custody battle in 1992.
Allen, who went on to marry Previn in 1997, was investigated over the rape claims but was never charged. He has repeatedly denied the allegations.

Farrow won custody of the couple's three children, and Allen was stripped of visitation rights with Dylan.
In her 2014 open letter published in the New York Times, which opened Allen to a new round of scrutiny, Dylan, now aged 32, described in detail the alleged rape in the attic.
'He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother's electric train set,' she recalled.
'Then he sexually assaulted me. He talked to me while he did it, whispering that I was a good girl, that this was our secret, promising that we'd go to Paris and I'd be a star in his movies.
'I remember staring at that toy train, focusing on it as it traveled in its circle around the attic. To this day, I find it difficult to look at toy trains.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
