Woody Allen’s Ex-Adoptive Daughter and Current Wife Sided With a Sexual Offender in Email to Jeffery Epstein

Woody Allen has been somewhat of a Hollywood pariah for decades, so any association to him coming up in the Epstein files isn’t exactly a surprise. In case you have forgotten, Allen is currently married to Soon-Yi Previn, former girlfriend Mia Farrow’s adopted daughter. This is on top of Dylan Farrow accusing Allen of sexually assaulting her in the attic of her mother’s Connecticut home on August 4, 1992.

As more of the files, which come from convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his social circle of public figures, emerge, more things come to light. The email from Previn to Epstein is one of them.

Dating back to 2016, Previn discusses the Anthony Wiener scandal, where the politician was caught sending sexually explicit text messages to a minor, in an email to Epstein. In it, she defends Wiener, placing the blame on the girl and saying, “You have to feel sorry for him.”

On X, a user posted a screenshot of the email, along with the caption: “Woody Allen’s wife Soon-Yi Previn emails Jeffrey Epstein about Anthony Weiner sexting a 15-year-old girl and calls the girl a “despicable and disgusting person who preys on the week [sic].”

While despicable, you do have to remember what Previn has gone through to be able to side with men like this. Though that does not abolish her of any wrongdoing, it reminds us how vulnerable young girls are, and how many older men out there are more than happy to groom them. Much like Dylan Farrow, Soon-Yi Previn was a victim of her father. Unfortunately, in her case, she was unable to escape it.

Said one user, “I think we all know who’s to blame for Soon-Yi’s unhealthy attitude towards adult males having sex with young girls … and it’s not her mother.”

Said another, “The poor girl was groomed and raped since childhood by her own adoptive father who then married her. She had no shot at life or understanding anything. Accepting the horror of what she went through would break her so she pretends it isn’t a problem for other girls either.”
