Ronan Farrow Slams Woody Allen Golden Globes Tribute
If you hadn’t yet noticed that Ronan Farrow isn’t a big fan of his dad, this tweet sent during last night’s Golden Globes will set you straight:

Whoah. No punches held there.
Farrow is referring to Allen’s adopted daughter, Dylan, who accused him of molesting her nearly 20 years ago.

Allen’s lawyer Elkan Abramowitz told the magazine that the director still denies the allegations.
Allen, 78, was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. After live tweeting much of the event, Mia Farrow suddenly annouced that she was changing channel — right before the tribute to her estranged spouse:
