Allen and Soon Yi now live together for 20 years.
Mia tried to have Soon Yi proclaimed as mentally retarded when she found out about their relationship (implying that Allen abused a mentally disabled person who was unaware of it or unable to understand it, what is illegal). When this didnt work (Soon Yi is very intelligent and has a masters degree), she then came back with allegation that Allen abused Dylan.
Why is Mia bitter is understandable, not only he fell in love with her adopted daughter, but after they split, her acting career is dead.
But the amount of hatred comming from her and how she manipulated the children who were estranged from Allen for 20 years yet still talk **** about him whenever they can is overwhelming. For example:

"Not a father figure" are words that Woody uses; yet why wouldn't one assume that Woody was NOT a father figure towards Soon-Yi? I'm sorry, but if you start dating someone and it's a serious relationship--it's not far-fetched for someone to assume Woody is a father figure to Soon-Yi. Just because he didn't know her since birth doesn't mean one can't become a father figure later in life; perhaps Woody never saw himself as a father figure towards her, but it's not hard to believe that Mia did.
And didn't Dylan consider Soon-Yi a sister, basically? And we certainly know that Woody treated Dylan as his child. There are so many creepy elements of complexity to this case. To doubt that Woody molested Dylan is debatable, but the facts on Woody alone are disturbing, even IF you take out Dylan's claims, in my opinion. And Woody's defense to all of this basically is 'the heart wants what it wants' and 'I never lived with Mia.' Okkkk, you never lived with her but you still have children with Mia. If we are to question whether or not Mia's statements to the press are not genuine, one must also entertain the fact that Woody could be twisting or manipulating information to support his claims, also.
& in regards to the claim that Mia tried to have her declared "mentally retarded," I also leave with you with a Vanity Fair quote, since the one you used is one from last year.

Mia’s family were astounded by the statement. “Soon-Yi doesn’t know half those words, what they mean,” one close to them said. Equally astonished was Audrey Seiger, who has a doctorate in learning and reading disabilities and had spent hundreds of hours tutoring Soon-Yi from the sixth grade all the way through high school. When Soon-Yi was in the third grade, her I.Q. tested as slightly below average. She went to Seiger with “very deprived early language development, which carried on throughout the years.” Seiger and Soon-Yi became close, and Soon-Yi worked very hard. “She’s a very typical L.D. kid, very socially inappropriate, very, very naïve,” says Seiger, who is deeply worried about Soon-Yi today. “She has trouble processing information, trouble understanding language on an inferential level. She’s very, very literal and flat in how she interprets what she sees and how she interprets things socially. She misinterprets situations.” Seiger doubts that Soon-Yi could have written the statement to the press. “The words were often exactly the same as Woody Allen’s, if you compare the two,” says Priscilla Gilman, daughter of Yale drama-school professor Richard Gilman and literary agent Lynn Nesbit and an honor student at Yale, who as the longtime girlfriend of Mia’s son Matthew Previn is regarded almost as a daughter in the family
