In the book, Allen hit out at "loonies" who questioned his relationship with Soon-Yi, who was also one of Mia's adopted children.
He wrote: "I knew Mia was fond of telling people I had molested her underage daughter when in fact Soon-Yi was 22, and of course our love, which has resulted in a marriage of over twenty years, was hardly molestation...
