Although Mia Farrow seemed qualified for sainthood (the broad has adopted over 20 children from around the world), it turns out she's not exactly Mother Teresa. Farrow recently admitted that she refused to forgive her adopted daughter for having an affair with Farrow's partner, Woody Allen.



Farrow and her then husband, Andre Previn, adopted Soon-Yi from South Korea in 1978. In 1992, Farrow discovered nude photos of teenaged Soon-Yi in the apartment of Farrows' long-time partner (and baby daddy) Woody Allen. Allen and Soon-Yi confessed to an on-going affair, ending the Farrow-Allen relationship and destroying the mother-daughter relationship. Soon-Yi and Allen eventually married, creating their own little family, complete with two adopted daughters of their own--Bechet Allen and Manzie Tio Allen.



Although a decade passed since the discovery of the affair, Farrow claimed she neither forgave Soon-Yi, nor allowed her to be apart of her family. Farrow's bitterness ran so deep, she never told her youngest children of Soon-Yi's existence.



She says, "I've had to close ranks in the family. You can't have a chair with a missing person forever, and there are children who don't know she exists in the family."



Still, Farrow claims her large family of adopted children isn't lacking without Soon-Yi.



"Yeah, and I'll still say the family is complete. She can't be my daughter any more."

If she should be pissed at anyone, it's Woody Allen.

Say what you will about Woody Allen, there's clearly something wrong with her too. How many hordes of adopted children does she have? And she's still doing it? I don't mean to knock adoption, it's a wonderful thing to do. But it's reaching a point of compulsion from the look of it to me.

it's a bit different when you are rich and have a house with multiple rooms and nannies and maids and such i think.

Yeah, it's even less personal.

But maybe she's not doing it to be a real "mother" to these kids, but to save them from a terrible life instead.

Maybe it's just a false impression I've gotten, but I think it's both that she wants to be a mother to them and to save them.

True That. I doubt many foster kids are banging Academy Award nominees.


Wait, does Larry Clark have any nominations?

I don't think she'll be inviting him over for Thanksgiving dinner any time soon.

Are we really blaming Mia Farrow for still being pissed about this? Woody was banging her adopted daughter! I'm surprised this shit wasn't on Maury Povich.

I would be pissed at Woddy Allen, not Soon-Yi. He should have known better. That's just gross.

Not matter how talented, famous, and rich one is does not change the fact that they are human and can be extremely perverted in their dark hours.

I'd be pissed at both of them myself, I don't think she's being petty by not speaking to either of them.

Of course she's pissed at Woody Allen. But that's not news. "Woman is upset that former husband had an extended affair!" isn't much of an attention grabber.

I think her still being upset is quite reasonable.
