Moses Farrow Sides With Dad, Says Woody Allen Did Not Abuse Sister Dylan

Woody Allen did not sexually abuse his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow, brother Moses claims in an interview with People.

Dylan, 28, published an open letter in The New York Times describing the abuse she says she suffered at the hands of the famed director.

"He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother's electric train set," she wrote."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."

The letter's publication came shortly after Allen received a Golden Globe award for lifetime achievement, during which both Dylan's mother Mia Farrow and brother Ronan, 26, took to Twitter to express their disgust.

"Time to grab some ice cream & switch over to #GIRLS," Mia tweeted as Allen's tribute got underway.

Ronan's tweet was even more direct.

"Missed the Woody Allen tribute - did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?"

Moses, 36, says he's not convinced his father abused his sister, instead putting the blame on Mia, who he says concocted the story as a kind of revenge against Allen.

"My mother drummed it into me to hate my father for tearing apart the family and sexually molesting my sister," Moses, told People. "And I hated him for her for years. I see now that this was a vengeful way to pay him back for falling in love with Soon-Yi."

In January 1992, Farrow discovered explicit pictures Allen had taken of her 21-year-old adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, who Allen later married. Then in August, Allen visited Farrow's Connecticut home, where he allegedly abused Dylan.

But according to Moses, the scene Dylan describes could never have happened as there were "six or seven of us in the house" and "no one, not my father or sister, was off in any private spaces."

Dylan disagrees, calling Moses' statements a "betrayal."

"My mother never coached me," Dylan told People. "She never planted false memories in my brain. My memories are mine. I remember them."
