A new tell-all book from author Marilyn Ann Moss, entitled “The Farrows of Hollywood: Their Dark Side of Paradise,” promises to reveal the truth behind the controversial allegations of child abuse made against director Woody Allen by his ex-wife, Mia Farrow.
According to a blurb provided to RadarOnline.com, the book will dive deep into the allegations made by Mia Farrow that her ex-husband Woody Allen sexually molested their seven-year-old adopted daughter, Dylan, and uncover the roots of these accusations in Farrow’s own troubled childhood with her father, John Farrow. “John was often an abusive father to his children, his wife, and to his co-workers in Hollywood.
Woody Allen Faces New Investigation Over Child Abuse Claims
Called the most disliked man in Hollywood, John Farrow was a tortured, tragic artist and father. He left his children a legacy of trauma and pain that the family kept hidden. It erupted only years later when Mia Farrow unknowingly revealed her pain through her words and behavior in her allegations aimed at Allen,” says the blurb. The book includes never-before-revealed interviews with actors who worked with John Farrow and an original theory from author, biographer, and documentarian Marilyn Ann Moss.
Prosecutors in Connecticut investigated Mia’s claims that Woody molested their baby daughter Dylan in 1992. A pediatrician notified authorities as mandated by law to report the charges. So far, no criminal charges have been brought against Woody.
The alarming charges, however, became the focal point of a contentious custody dispute between the former partners, and a judge subsequently denied both the filmmaker’s request for custody of their three children and the sexual abuse allegation. The Annie Hall director has always adamantly denied any inappropriate behavior with Dylan, who is currently in her thirties.
Woody charged jilted Mia tried to poison Dylan and her other children —including son Ronan, the journalist behind the takedown expose of monster filmmaker Harvey Weinstein — against him after discovering his romantic relationship with another of her daughters, Soon-Yi Previn. Soon-Yi is Woody’s current wife. “The Farrows of Hollywood: Their Dark Side of Paradise” pledges to unveil the hidden “dark side” of this high-status Hollywood family where “all was not as it seemed.”
