Moses Amadeus Farrow (born January 27, 1978) is an American Family therapy. The adopted son of actress Mia Farrow and director Woody Allen, he has come to the defense of his father against a sexual abuse allegation.
Farrow attended the Dalton School in New York City, and received his undergraduate degree from Siena College and his master's degree from the University of Connecticut.
Mia Farrow was ultimately granted custody of Moses and attempted to have Allen's adoption of Moses annulled, but a court denied her request.
As an adult, Moses Farrow reunited with Allen and severed ties with Mia Farrow. In a February 2014 People magazine interview, he defended Allen and rejected his sister Dylan Farrow's public accusations of child sexual abuse against Allen, saying: "I don't know if my sister really believes she was molested or is trying to please her mother. Pleasing my mother was very powerful motivation because to be on her wrong side was horrible." Also in that interview, he called Mia Farrow "vengeful" and being raised by her "horrifying", saying she was physically abusive toward him.
In 2018, Farrow published a blog post, "A Son Speaks Out", in which he argued for Allen's innocence, accused Mia Farrow of abuse, and offered a different version of his childhood than that given by some of his siblings.
In a December 2020 interview with The Guardian, Farrow said he would be happy to take Allen's surname.
Footage of Farrow appears in the documentary Allen v. Farrow even though he declined to participate.
Relationship with Woody Allen and Mia Farrow
On August 13, 1992, Allen sued for custody of Moses Farrow, who was called to submit written testimony by Mia Farrow's attorneys. In a letter addressed to Allen and read to the court, Moses, then 14, declared that he did not consider Allen his father anymore. In subsequent media interviews, Moses told reporters that he was "sure my younger brother and sister don't want to go with him either". In 2018, Moses called this public denouncement of his father "the biggest regret of my life".
