• Soon-Yi Previn, the wife of director Woody Allen and the estranged adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, defended her husband against what she contends is unfair treatment in the #MeToo era and attacked her adoptive mother in her first public comments about the relationships in decades. New York magazine posted on its website Sunday night an in-depth article about Previn in which she talks of a troubled relationship with her mother and tells how she fell in love in 1992 with Allen, who was Farrow's boyfriend at the time. The 47-year-old said she and her mother clashed soon after Farrow adopted her and that her mother many times treated her like a maid. She denies being manipulated into a relationship by Allen. Previn told the magazine that she decided to speak out now because Dylan Farrow, who is an adopted daughter of Allen, is, in her view, unfairly accusing her husband of sexually abusing her when she was a child. "I was never interested in writing a 'Mommie Dearest,' getting even with Mia -- none of that," Previn told the magazine. "But what's happened to Woody is so upsetting, so unjust. [Mia] has taken advantage of the #MeToo movement and paraded Dylan as a victim. And a whole new generation is hearing about it when they shouldn't." She also said of Farrow: "Mia wasn't maternal to me from the get-go." In separate statements posted on Twitter Sunday night, Dylan Farrow and Ronan Farrow say their mother is a good parent and that the New York magazine article is inaccurate and unfair.
• Carrie Underwood says she turned to God after experiencing three miscarriages in two years. The 35-year-old country singer and former American Idol champion told CBS Sunday Morning she got pregnant in early 2017 and it "didn't work out." She had a second miscarriage later that year and a third in 2018. Underwood says she was afraid to be angry because she has an incredible husband, hockey player Mike Fisher, and an incredible son, 3-year-old Isaiah. She says she got mad when she thought she might be suffering a fourth miscarriage and she "told God how I felt." She went to the doctor and was told everything was fine. Underwood says God heard her. The pregnant singer said she'll go on tour this spring, hopefully with her new baby. She says "things are looking better."
