I ask if that was because of the molestation accusation. I felt I wanted to be a parent, to my younger siblings and to Mia, so I spent hours listening to her,” he says. “Many of my older siblings started not to be at home as much it was very destabilising. He was investigated twice, but never charged, and, according to Moses, life at home became close to unbearable.

Seven months later, Mia accused Allen of sexually molesting seven-year-old Dylan while visiting her home in Connecticut.Īllen has always strongly denied the allegation. In 1992, shortly after Allen became Dylan and Moses’s father, Mia discovered he was having an affair with her and Previn’s 21-year-old daughter, Soon-Yi.

He corroborates Soon-Yi's claim that Mia favoured the blond, blue-eyed kids, especially Fletcher and Satchel But, he says, the family had been dysfunctional long before then. Moses was 14 when his parents broke up so spectacularly. I ask what sparked his interest in this specific area, and he laughs.
