Ronan Farrow blasts Woody Allen in Father’s Day Tweet
Ronan Farrow’s dig at father Woody Allen has been retweeted over 1,200 times since Sunday, including by his mother Mia Farrow.
The son of Woody Allen has used Twitter and Father's Day to deliver a very public blow to his famous dad.
"Happy father's day— or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law's day," Ronan Farrow tweeted Sunday.
"Ronan Farrow certainly didn't forget dad Woody Allen on Father's Day, despite their reported decades-long estrangement," the LA Times wrote.

The 24-year-old's mother, actress Mia Farrow, retweeted the message adding "Boom."
The Hollywood Reporter explains that Ronan severed links with Allen around 1992 when news broke that Allen was involved with 21-year-old Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of his then-girlfriend Mia Farrow. The website says it was "the biggest tabloid scandal of his career."
Washington Post says the Tweet is "saucy stuff,"adding that as a "State Department aide turned Rhodes Scholar," Ronan Farrow usually tweets about Egyptian elections and third-world health.
